Do you ever stop and think about how many gadgets you’ve bought and never used? Sound familiar? Hmm, thought so.

Shops these days tend to have a nack of placing cheap and nasty gadgets just in the right place, for example, at eye level when you go to the till. You’ve been shopping for the past four hours, your feet are throbbing and just when you arrive to pay for your goods, low and behold there is a gadget just screaming “buy me, buy me. Go on, you want to”.

You try not to look at the box of useless gadgets on the counter, however, something goes through your mind and in the next instance you are saying out aloud to the member of staff “what a great idea” and hey presto you’ve paid for it! Within the hour this useless little object is back at your house, thrown into the nearest drawer and left there until you have your next clear-out.

So think on next time you are stood at that counter waiting to be served, if you see those evil little gadgets just look away and save your money!
