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?

We live in a society where possessions = happiness...and since not everyone can afford expensive things, those who can't will attempt to achieve happiness through the possession of crap. And there will always be someone who can manufacture sufficiently convincing representations of desirable items sufficiently cheaply to make a profit off these people.
