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?

Ahh chinese qualityOnce, I decided that I'll boycott all those stupid hairdressers.
That's why I bought a shaving machine of an unknown chinese brand for about 5€, knowing that a friend had a similar and it worked perfectly.
At the first attempt of cutting my hair, it quite naturally didn't work as expected, so i fiddled a bit with the single adjusting knob on it.
As a result, it started roaring hideously and almost took away a portion of my scalp when applied...
The motor inside was banging furiously on the inner walls of the device and when all fixing attempts failed, the thing went straight into the bin.
I had to ask my friend yet again to cut my hair...
Lenght? My hair on the unshaved side - 6 cm, on the almost-shaved - 2 cm.
