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?

Sounds Like My (late) DadHis favourite game was, "Guess how much I paid for this." That's right, no question mark, because it wasn't a request.
"I don't know" or "Who cares?" were not acceptable answers. Sad and boring.
I finally figured out the winning move:
"Guess how much I paid for this television."
"25 cents"
"No, really."
"A dollar."
As long as you guess absurdly low, the actual price comes as an anticlimax. Result.
