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?

Not just the cheap stuff.Someone at work supplied the more expensive brand. You know the kind, advertised on TV on the basis that puppies are cute and soft, and where children wait at the door for their mother to return from the supermarket just so they can hug the toilet paper she has brought home. It was embossed with decorative patterns that, never explicitly mentioned, assisted with removal of solid matter.
Despite being double quilted and embossed or whatever nonsense it said, it had the strength of, well, a wet tissue. Just about every wipe ended up with, well, a breakthrough. Quite frankly, if I wanted to get shit on my hands, I can do it for free without this expensive scented bog roll.
