What have you bought that has been a total waste of money?

[shirokazan]

I had a pair of pink satin loons at that time! (So bloody tight that I had to breathe in to get them on ...)

Bet you still wear them.

Damn,now you've got me thinking! Return or keep? I can't decide. What would you do?

I used the iron and ironing board for the first time yesterday. I was a little nervous about it,but after i'd fought my way through all the cardboard and plastic packaging i ironed 4 items. That'll be it now for another month or so,but I've used the items and intend using them again,so they weren't a waste of money after all!

You're living the dream, Accy.

Some net curtains, off course being full of holes, I sent them straight back. Bloody shoddy workmanship.

@YukonBoy they must have been made by the same company that made my vest,...... hmm....scratches head...... or is my vest made from a net curtain

There was that pair of tinted cycling goggles/glasses in a pretty plastic box with spare lenses that when worn whilst cycling gave the impression that I was sitting about one metre above my seat, even although my arm length had remained constant.
I kept them in a drawer for a few years in the hope that they would self fix, but eventually dumped them.

The wire/cable of my phone charger died on me. Yesterday I went to Currys and bought another one @£6.00ish. Got back home and went to get something from a drawer...... and what did I find but a spare charger .

A brake rim cleaner. Looked like an eraser. Completely useless.

I bought a flint for starting fires with. It has a compass built into one end. It has not been very useful yet, but what with Brexit and everything...

cheap drill bits

Rule
#1 : On purchasing drill bits. Take the three smallest ones out and throw them away.
They'll break on first use anyway...

A red Hillman Hip in 1969. I kept it for 2 weeks. It burned more oil than petrol.

I briefly owned a Skoda Estelle that did the same thing.
