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?

Poundlandoften draws me into it's world of cheap wonder and I once bought a Playstation pad that had adjustable handle bits attached to a circular center pad bit with buttons on. None of the buttons worked and the handles (which could be moved so they sat parallel to each other. Useful.) cut into your hands. And it was bright red and yellow.
So me and my friend ripped it apart, the cheap plastic made our hands bleed, and then the bits that were left behind on my carpet cut my feet up as I was getting into bed. I'll never forget that pad for fighting back.
A friend of mine also bought a pair of electric scissors in there that wouldn't even cut through a piece of paper.
