Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

Working in IT.....
...people who buy a new comp and Nortons is pre-installed on there; 50% of the time it fucks up and prevents any kind of internet access as it has "not been activated yet". Funnily enough when people decide to use the crap it allows only slightly more access. Pure pain in the ass invention of the devil.
Had 5 jobs come in one day, all back-to-back, Nortons had downloaded an update and knackered every computer's internet access by detecting IE as a threat.
