Worst piece of 5h1t you ever bought

Roger Hassenforder

Has to be that Hozelock hose with reel I used to own

Trying to water my flowers earlier, they're looking a bit shook.
Everytime i moved the damn thing kinked on itself and flow stopped/slowed to a trickle. Had to be fully unreeled (?)to work.
Every time. Absolute piece of crap.

Just after fcuking it in the bin.

It should have.

I have something similar to that and it's great. Doesn't kink and rarely tangled in a bad way, very easy to untangle if required.

I bought a listening device out of a betterware magazine for the Craic when I was younger. Thought I’d be like a spy. Didn’t even slightly work. Sounded like when you put your ear to the desk in a classroom.

NickNickleby

about 1980 or 81, December 8th, bought a green Toyota Corolla from a garage in Glenageary.

On Christmas Day, went visiting family. Someone comes out to admire my shiny new car and says "what's that mark on the roof?".
Turned out to be rust. Dealer's response :"wait till about March and come back. By then all the rust spots should have come to the surface and we'll do them all together". Straight down to Toyota HQ on the Naas Road (or possibly Long Mile, can't be sure now). Anyway, they transferred warranty to another dealer. But that wan't enough to fix,the rust kept coming back. Got SFA on a trade-in, 2 years later. Nissan, which itself went belly-up within 3 years - not rust, head gasket! Never bought another Japanese car after that.

Bought a real dog Triumph 1300 in 1976, scrapped it in Feb 77. But it was a cheapo second hand, so wasn't the financial disaster the two above were. Opel and Ford were the best cars I ever owned.(so far).

I bought cheap drillbits on eBay for a bit of rough work. I knew they'd only last the length of the job.

Well they didn't.

I think they were made out of pewter.

It was quickly superseded by the iPod.

Bicycle from Smyths toy store. I thought I was being super smart spending a mere 120 euro on my bike while losers were spending 300 euro plus on brands like Trek and Giant

Useless POS. It weighed a ton. I doubt a kid could even lift a bike like this. The gears broke after 1 week leaving me with about two gears only. Heavy mountain bike tires I was the slowest cyclist in Dublin.

Went out and spent a fair whack on a Trek bike and was blown away with the difference the first time I used it

A " Raleigh " push bike. English name. Decades ago they used to be built like tanks and would out last the rider.

Since made " Under License " in India. On a warm evening like this, ye could sit out back with a long, tall cool one and listen to ye Raleigh bike gently falling to fcuking bits in the shed! :mad:

Got my dad a foot scrubber for the shower so he would have to bend less. Big foot shaped plastic thing with bristles and an arch of bristles over the toes. The sticky rubber feet would unstick as soon as got wet and you put any pressure to it, so it was like accidentally wearing one giant hard plastic slipper full of wet needles in the shower.

I remember buying a phone scanner about 20 years ago that would allow you to listen to other people's phone calls, Garda radio etc etc.

I think I managed to lock into two phone calls in the space of a year before it went in the Buy and Sell.

It was a pair of Emporio Armani jeans I paid a ridiculous amount of money for when I was young and naive bought in a swanky department store. They flithered in less than 6 months. I've had penny's jeans that lasted longer. A sort-lived affair with designer clothing - thanks f.

I bought a Braun Wet n' Dry epilator and used it in the shower the day I got it.

I won't describe what happened in detail but there were tears, there was blood, there was an epilator attached to my body for several minutes while I plucked up the courage to remove it after which there were screams. It was about a year ago, I'm still traumatized.

You just didn’t know how to use it. I had a number of them and used them for years. Brilliant. The things I have heard with them. Still have one kicking around. Stopped using coz most broadcasts switched to digital.

A Windows phone - no idea what I was thinking at the time. Worst phone I've owned and I've owned a lot of phones over the years.

First I heard of them was an ex of mine that used one of those yokes. Seemed to have no pain receptors at all. She said it doesn't hurt she'd been using one for years(popular on the continent I gathered). Like the thundering moron I am at her suggestion I let her demonstrate... I was in love an that. So brain in neutral. Sweet Baby Jesus!!! I would make a crap secret agent as I would fold under questioning at the very appearance of one. The pain. How I didn't lash out at her with an uppercut I'll never know. That she slid off the bed while nearly wet herself laughing made it a close call indeed. The wagon. :pac:

I too suffered the indignity of being laughed at in my hour of need.

On the plus side, my cousin was training for a big cycle race and I suggested an easy way to remove the hair from his legs to get that aerodynamic edge. You'd think he'd know I'm a liar at this stage.

Funniest thing I've ever witnessed. I did actually pee myself laughing, little bit. Worth it though.

Lol, I had to look up epilator , luckily I'm not sensitive to hair removal although that 40 year old virgin scene is horrible.


OT bought a Silvercrest rice cooker in lidl, first time I used it was great. 3 weeks later with family calling around all set for a Thai green curry, got everything ready, turned it on and nothing, tried everything and just threw it in the bin.
Last time I'll buy anything by Silvercrest, POS

I know they've a terrible reputation but I bought one, it was cheap and I loved it.. And continued to love it until I reluctantly traded it against a brand new Skoda Octavia 1.9Tdi with the DSG automatic gear box ~ that car was a scutterbox from almost day one.

I had it four years, it broke my heart. Can't remember what the last problem was with it but I remember leaving home for work one day and saying I didn't want to see it when I got home.

My son went out and traded it against a new Citroen C3, everyone laughed but I loved it. I'd still have it now but close to 200,000km the head blew a gasket and it was beyond economic repair. The thing was a little tank.

So there, the worst thing I've ever bought was a Skoda Octavia.

I see the Minidisc mentioned above, but that was a decent bit of kit, just came out slightly before the behemoth that was the iPod.

My contribution; Adidas A3 trainers. Supposed to rival Nike Shox.
They looked decent but whatever material used absolutely stank. I worked in a sports store and the manager refused to change them. Had to go above her head to the Buying Manager who admitted they’ve had tons of returns.
