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?

Clueless at gifts
yep, that's my dad. Always complains that he doesn't know what to get grandson x, granddaughter y or granddaughter z for birthdays / Christmas. Grandson x is 7 years old with a Spider-Man obsession, granddaughter y is 12 years old and heavily into make-up / clothes / indie-rock-numetal, and granddaughter z is 5 tears old with a dinosaur fetish (and a bit of a tomboy to boot).
I mean, just how hard can it be? Or he could just ask my brother and sister what to get them.
