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?

HmmmSimilar for me: I needed a USB extension, and couldn't find one on the high street for less than £15/ 20. Amazon had one for 99p. I presume that the difference was that the data on the Amazon cable weren't carried, electron by electron, by gold-plated elves. It's the only sensible explanation.
