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?

re: Christmas tat
Wow, that's worse than what I got. My dad hates trying to figure out what I want, so when I don't write a list, he improvises. So he gets me a value pack of extra-large MEN'S socks. I am neither extra-large (though I have a bit more padding than I'd like) nor am I a man. Though he did also get me two books by authors I love, so I can't blame him that much.
Oh, and the socks are actually quite comfortable, if a bit baggy.
