Can you think of a gadget or everyday object that is really hard to use?

[PaulStephenson]

Hi all, I have to do a presentation on usability and I would like to demonstrate poor usability to the group by passing around a gadget or object that has very poor usability or that the user may not even know its purpose without prior reading of it's instructions.

Obviously I may have to purchase this item so it shouldn't cost too much and it also needs to be light enough to pass around a group (so printers or digital cameras are not an option).
