Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Self-induced crappy prize badnessLike a few others on here, my school did an awards thing where pupils got a prize, each head of the various subjects were able to award best pupil in the subject and most improved (to give fuckwits a chance at getting something). The prize? A £5 WH Smiths voucher, not great but not that bad. Being vaguely intelligent in a school otherwise inhabited by a lot of chav scum I managed to pick up three prizes - yay, 15 quid in WH Smiths vouchers! What did I use my Smiths-based wealth on? The Spice Girls' debut album. Twunt. I'm going to hell for that decision.
