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?

How many lawyers does it take to shingle a roof?About 6 years ago, being tired of the IT profession, I went back for a law degree. No work for 3 years, higher salary potential, meet the potential Mrs. Bigvegan, all would be awesome!
Not considering I had no idea what being a lawyer was all about. I mean, would you go to welding school without realizing that you spend most of your time putting bits of metal together with lots of sparky smoky high-voltage? How I missed the fact that I was signing up for a life of soul-killing paperwork drudgery was beyond me.
Not considering that your grades follow you FOR LIFE, effectively making me (at the top of the bottom half) unemployable at the firms that pay enough to make the drudgery bearable.
Not considering that once you've got a law degree, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get a regular job again, as nobody wants to hire someone who can sue for free.
And most especially not considering that the future Mrs. Bigvegan has MOST DEFINITELY NOT attended law school. Three years of being trained to argue and twist logic into hitherto unrecognized forms is not what I'm looking for in a loving mate.
So that would make my law degree the single most useless piece of crap I've ever bought.
But cheap? Not hardly. I've got another 17 years of paying off loans.
Don't do it kids.
(For those of you paying attention to the subject line, the answer is "About three, but you have to slice them pretty thin.")
Pop!

I'm in my third year.Frankly, it's shite. I'm going to finish up my degree and go into the police. I'd rather get spat at by chavs for a living, and shoot Brazilians on the underground.
