What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?
I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Salt and Pepper grinder from a well recommended brand. Was like 80 bucks for the set and it's not better than the ones I get from Sam's Club. Infact it's worse. Disappointing.
Infact
Not a word.
Not with that attitude
Who would downvote this? It's true. It's helpful. It's free advice.
It's true, but not helpful. If it was helpful it would actually tell them it's spelt "in fact" and not just say: not a word
Is is spelled spelled or spelled spelt?
That would be spelling it out. For me, just saying it's wrong, and letting someone find out why, that's hugely more helpful than spoon-feeding Information.
It's untrue. 'Infact' is infact a word by the virtue of it being both used and understood. Language is defined by those who use it.
haters who complain about new words have no rizz
Hundreds of years ago, these same types of people were probably quite upset when others started writing "maybe" and "because", yet I suspect their modern equivalents use "instead" and "alphanumeric" without issue.
You are right in principle. New words can pop up. Them being accepted however is not just a matter of a few people using them and saying that it is so.
It's about usage and being accepted in larger groups or areas. Language is defined by what's surviving a generation or two. Everything else is slang.
