That stupid X hose or whatever it's called. I liked the concept so much that I tried 3 different brands hoping one would work and they all suck. They break after 2 or 3 uses.

Are these those hoses that are supposed coil back up when you're done?

Caulk. "Easy to use" my ass. :mad:

I bought window gap sealer that said "Easy to use" and I made a mess. The straw applicator kept flying off the end. Thankfully after it dried, I was able to use a razor to trim it up and the window is sealed.

I got a pocket hose for Christmas (my dad :lol: ) and I thought it would suck but I actually really like it. It makes watering easier and rolling it up a breeze.

A flashlight with a red laser at Lowes. First one didn't work, returned for another, second one worked in Lowes parking lot. By the time I got home the batteries were very hot and it didn't work anymore. Got my money back!

$1 magnet notepads at Michaels. The magnet is too far down and the cardboard backing is flimsy, so it flops off the fridge.

You who know me know how seriously I take my list making. Cannot have floppy notepads.

Glass scale I bought at cvs. It worked fine for a day or two before it started giving me wildely diff numbers just minutes apart. I chucked it the morning I stood on it and it told me I gained 60 lbs over night. Waste of money.

I bought one of those steam cleaners years ago. You know, it's supposed to superheat steam and clean everything?

Well the model I got took forever to heat up - but it had no "throttle". Meaning, once it was on, it was running constantly until it ran out of water.
Period. How stupid was that? Worse, it didn't even come close to doing the job, the hoses were flimsy, there were warnings about pressure if you should
open while it was running and you could not add soap or a cleaner without breaking it. Complete waste of money.

NEVER ordered an As Seen On TV again unless I could actually look at it.

Oh - got one of those shrink hoses. They work, but if you have lousy water pressure, they're kind of useless.
