PSA: I spent $40 on a travel clothesline and it was a total waste

On my trip to Lisbon, I bought a fancy rubber travel clothesline for about $40 because I hate paying for hotel laundry. The idea was to wash stuff in the sink and hang it up. In reality, the suction cups wouldn't stick to the old tile in my bathroom, and the line sagged so much my wet clothes touched the floor. I ended up using a free trick a hostel worker told me: just use the shower curtain rod and some regular string I got from a market for a dollar. The expensive line is still in my bag, unused. I feel like a lot of travel gear is just overpriced when a simple fix works better. Has anyone else bought a specific travel item that completely failed on the road?

Honestly, it's just a clothesline, not a life support system. You tried it, it didn't work, and you found a better way for a buck. That's just how travel goes sometimes.
