What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?
I watched a video recently and wanted to know what other have bought over the years.

Convinced my mum to splash out on an Amstrad Emailer. It looked really cool and could store your phonation, and had emails.
3 months later, my Dad is checking the landline phone bill which is expensive for some reason. Turns out the Amstrad phones a premium rate phone lime every night. Managed to switch it off but then the whole thing stopped working saying it needs to do that to work.
Nowhere did they mention this, or at least it was not clear to both of us. Absolutely dodgy fuckers.
Maybe they shouldn’t have put Lord Sugar in charge.
The Lord Sugar truck that Dave Gorman drove around was gold. So there’s that.
There’s also the fact they started showing adverts on the screen when it wasn’t in use, and the adverts were usually for sex phone services - often showing nudity and with a quick-access button for the premium rate number, no less - right there in your hallway where everyone saw it.
