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?

A guy I knowwhilst we were on a trip to China bought a watch in Tiananmen square. Featured a smiley Mao, his mechanised hand waving in time with each second. I can't remember how much it cost him, but the number was pretty damn small (and the exchange rate at the time was about 14 Yuan to the Sterling).
After about an hour it had stopped. Dead. Smilin' Mao's arm motionless.
Didn't even fit round the guys wrist either.

I nearly got one of those!But settled for the Mao lighter instead: it burnt with a patriotic red flame, and emitted a tinny version of some nationalistic popular tune. The flame ran out after a couple of days, but the music kept on coming for a couple of months.
