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?

And TheWeeWitch has just reminded me of another one.When my ex-wife and I got married, we told people not to buy us stuff, but if they really wanted to get us something then just some money or vouchers would be great (yes, I know... I hate the idea of that now, but never mind, it's done and I can't change it).
Most people did indeed give us money or vouchers, mainly for Argos, which was fine.
One couple though brought this massive...
Well, this massive glass ...thing.
Seriously, it was like a giant glass copy of the FA Cup, made by someone who wasn't really sure what the FA Cup looked like.
I don't know if it was a bowl, or a vase, or something for putting dried flowers in, or what. It was about 2 feet tall, and depending on which way up you stood it you either had a massive bell-shaped bowl resting on a little inverted cone, or a little cone-shaped bowl resting on a giant bell-shaped base.
It doesn't really fit with this QOTW as I don't think it was cheap, but it was most certainly tat... needless to say, I wasn't in a hurry to take it with me when we split up.
