What's the last thing you bought that wasn't worth the money?

Treated myself to a hotel break in Blackpool to celebrate my birthday this week. (don't judge me, it's my happy place) Checked the reviews online before booking, and they were almost universally good. Got there to find that even the *bad* online reviews hadn't mentioned that a) the hotel specialises in coach parties, meaning that the bar was full of drunk Scottish people every night, b) you have to queue up for your food with a plate the way you did for school dinners, c) in a hotel holding several hundred guests there was one lift that held one person at a time and d) the staff copped an attitude with anyone who ventured to ask them anything. I'm still composing my Tripadvisor review, but it's going to be a blinder...
