We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

We both ended up using the kneeling bit as a foot rest.
Crap position for alone time, too.
Bloody awful devices.

It’s impossible to sit/kneel/whatever you want to call it on one of these things without looking like an utter prick

Like having a futon, or biodegradable bin bags.

Frankly, if you don't use them then you are failing as a human being, you are damaging the environment and the future health of those you love and who love you and that, in my eyes, makes you a pretty reprehensible individual. I'm glad that I have a better out look on the world than you do.
Oh...I see what you mean...

about bin bags.
She's one of the founders here. She got into a frothy rage about it with me years ago. Being a founder member meant she was right though.

My wife decided they were great, we got one and now I'm lumbered with it for my "office" (games room) as she finds it so uncomfortable.
I find I get dead knees after balancing on it for a couple of hours.

an osteopath set up side a business selling those.
He was asked to appear on GMTV to talk about them, so in anticipation of that bringing a rush of biz (his company was his name, so easily found) he got an 0800 number, employed a load of people for a week to answer enquires and sell chairs.
GMTV cancelled his spot 15 minutes before he was supposed to appear. He sold, IIRC, 12 chairs in the 2 years the company ran for.

"Sitting down isn't really comfortable or good for you. We've had a little think about this and we think we've found something even better than sitting down."

because I thought it might help with my lower back problems. It did, in a way: I was so busy concentrating on not falling forward into my PC monitor and on blocking out the pain in my knees that I barely noticed my lower back.

Mine was ok for a year or so, but after spilling a few too many coffees on the chipboard knee rest it just snapped one day. Bruising my knee quite painfully, and leaving me with a slanting stool. I used it as a footstool for a while, but even that was worse than not using anything, so it went for firewood.

...in front of my Amiga 600. Soon noticed knee pain when roller skating or jumping off walls which I'm sure was caused by the chair so stopped using it.

...it made a great chair for playing the Wii on (no back, no arms) but didn't make it into the van when we moved house...
