Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

My grandad recently bought a coat from a charity shop...He came to my house beeming with delight and showed off his new coat. For starters, he said it was real leather when it was obviously some cheap plastic crap that had never seen a cow.
Then he stated it was "designer" proudly. Now I know oldies aren't famed for their style but he looked like an eastern European taxi driver in a deep communist winter.
He said after buying it he put his hands in the pockets and pulled out about ten plastic bags from every pocket and gave them back to the shop.
To finish, the coat had dandruff. For whatever reason as he walked he left a gently fluttering trail of white powdery stuff - I really do dread to think.
Needless to say he's chuffed to bits with it...

That gets a click just because your Grandad is chuffed with it.
