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?

Chicago backpackers hostelI had a similar experience in Chicago, I phoned and booked a hostel bed and upon arrival was basically sent down to the basement.
Next day I was rather curious about all the mongs, elderly and weirdos shuffling around the corridors at ground level.
Turns out the place was a home for those members of the family you'd rather not share a roof with and they made extra money on the side by bunging bunk beds in the basement and calling that a "hostel".
