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?

several years ago...several years ago while on a leo, myself and three friends, nicely pissed at 3 in the afternoon decided to partake of gloucester road (bristol)'s many pound shops. each of us was to spend a pound and buy an item that was as little use as possible for the night of shenanigans planned.
my three associates and i retired to the flyer to compare purchases. the pot of toy gunge drew some admiring glances, and the european travel adapter plug reached an impressive level of uselessness, but the crowning glory.... the true piece of magnificent awfulness, was my saucepan. completely useless on a night out, but also, due to the fact that the handle was heavier than the base, meaning that it was not capable of standing correctly, completely useless for its intended function. we left the items on a table* and went on our merry way, all of us feeling a little more complete for the experience.
length? if the handle had been shorter, the pan might have been useful.
*if you found a small saucepan, with a travel plug in it, in the bristol flyer about 3 years ago, that was probably mine
