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?

New phoneMy old £20 phone (some shady make) started to go a bit dodgy (after 6 years) so last week I forked out another £20 for a tasty new samsung one, now I'm annoyed.
I gradually taught my old phone all the various profanities, dialect and insulting words I know. A sort-of on-the-job training, if you will. Now my new one doesn't know how to say anything good and randomly decides to capitalise the first letter of a new word, whether I like it or not.
I swear, it's like losing a trusted and faithful apprentice and gaining a fresh new spotty school-leaver.
