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?

Dildo.I once bought an older lady-friend a dildo. As you do.
Actually, it was a vibrator, but who's counting? Being a bit of a shy lad, I didn't want to go into one of those "Closed Shops" or heaven forbid, one of the "Ann Withercombe"'s that fill the high street.
No, I will purchase one from the local cheapie shop. Not your typical thrift store, this one crops up approximately once a year, just before Chrimbo, then legs it just before the rates are due to be paid.
Everything was dirt cheap.
So I hastily bought the device, then legged it. However I had forgotten one important detail - batteries. I had to go back to buy some. Yes, I could have gone elsewhere, and no, I didn't. The same girl was there behind the counter, looking all superior - she shouldn't have been. She was the one working in a tat shop.
Anyway, I gave the present, as a gag I hasten to add.
I was sickened to hear that the elder lady-friend made good use of it. Not for long mind, as it was as noisy as a lawnmower and woke up her kids.
