Cheap headphones
Many months ago I bought a cheap £20 Japanese mp3 player. It was actually quite good, but that's another story.

The headphones, on the other hand, were awful. They were like those ones you used to get in easter eggs before they banned them because people thought they were chocolate and ate them and died. Obviously.

Anyway, I had been not-very-happily using them for a few days when they broke. The wires connecting each earphone to the plug had snapped. Now you may think that the bits were therefore useless, but they weren't.

Me and a friend each wore an earphone in Maths, causing my teacher to come over and demand that we take them out.

We didn't.

She then told us to give her them, and whatever they were attached to. Imagine her dismay when we pulled them out and she only ended up with two earphones and a couple of bits of wire. Cheap tat? I think not :D (she threw the bits in the bin though. We retaliated by stealing her board pens.)

She was a fantastically awful teacher though. Most lessons involved playing catch with her pencil case/planner, throwing her umbrella out the window, pushing her chair downstairs (with somebody on it, the deputy head of year was coming up at the time! Unfortunately I was in isolation due to another related incident so didn't see this one). If there's ever a "crap teachers" qotw then I might have to submit all of said incidents for your viewing pleasure.

Length? About 20cm for each wire...

I wasn't the main perpetrator. And she was rubbish anyway.
