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?

cheap (old) batAs a teenager, I used to wash people's cars and clean up their gardens for money because my parents wouldn't give me any cash (poverty was 'character building'). One time, I spend the entire day weeding the garden of an 80 year-old woman who looked like Yoda. Then I swept her considerable grounds of dried leaves. Then I heaved all this crap into the compost.
She gave me 20p and a a piece of shortbread baked to celebrate the Battle of Trafalgar. I wished death upon her.
[And note to parents: I must have the biggest fucking character in the world by now.]

EvilShe'd obviously be alive still if it wasn't for your wishing death on her. Hang your head.

I hear yaI never got pocket money and spent many a weekend washing cars. Funnily enough I dont remember resenting it at the time (funny because I absolutely fucking hate working for a living now).
