Myself, I really like using cursed items as a DM. Not so much the instant-kill cheese, but the annoying as hell stuff.
Swords of berserking,
backbiter spears,
bags of devouring and stuff like that. And of course, my absolute favorite, the
girdle of masculinity/femininity. I had this treasure horde once guarded by an ethereal filcher that was loaded down with cursed items. The players thought they hit paydirt at first, and then put on the girdle, got a few stats zapped from cursed scrolls (I use cursed scroll the old school way, just glance at them and you're cursed), and then some of the players assumed the whole lot was cursed.
