Just wondering what the most worthless thing that you paid money for?
(I can just hear somebody saying "my marriage license"). Okay if you think so.
I'm still thinking about my answer to that question. |

I bought a battery charger made by Vector. 2 things wrong with it. It won"t charge a dead battery and it won"t clamp onto a side post battery. I have GM vehicles all with side post and ford tractors. Leave the lights on in the car and kill the battery it won"t turn on! |

Anyone ever buy a "weather rock", it hangs outside a window, comes with instructions. We got one, it is wet right now. |

A long list but besides some of the employees at the shop, I have to say it was probably a Lexmark printer.
Cheap tools come to mind as well. |

Something called a "Yarkvark". It was an electrical device to kill fire ants. I had read about it, then stumbled on one and bought it.
Totally worthless. |

I'd say a good portion of my taxes go to pay for things (people and programs) that don't work, or work in a way I disagree with.
A Bostitch air compressor comes to mind as well. I was in a bind and needed a compressor quick. Didn't expect much from it and got even less. |
