Cursed Products — from the charger that stops at 99% to the mirror that shows Monday

Everyone owns at least one cursed thing — the pen that dies exactly in the exam hall, the umbrella whose hole is exactly overhead, the remote that hides itself in the sofa. This shop gathers them in one place.

A charger that stops at 99%, earphones that always tangle, Wi-Fi that drops mid-match, a rice cooker that burns the bottom, an alarm clock with only a snooze button, a chair with one short leg, tea that stays cold, and a mirror that shows Monday. Each comes in “Monday Edition”, “Exam Week Edition” and “Payday Edition”.

House rules: everything here counts as “impossible”, so it never comes out of a mystery box — boxes always reveal something believable. You can still add them to the cart and check out, and there is an achievement for buying something impossible.

For the opposite of a curse, visit pretend luxury — from a piece of the moon to a private island. And if the shopping habit itself feels a bit cursed, there is a help link at the bottom of every page and a few simple ideas on our blog.
