    I think about this a lot. Three years ago, I spent a lot of money redoing my kitchen. Felt like it was way too much for what I was getting but was told this was a 10-15 year thing. Flash forward 1 manufacturer’s year warranty.

    Ice maker in my fridge stopped working two weeks after the warranty ran out. I’ve paid to have it replaced once, and then they came back to fix it under their warranty, but said they wouldn’t again because it was a design flaw in the manufacturing. It currently doesn’t work.

    The “brushed aluminum” trim is basically a giant silver decal that is currently peeling off of my oven, microwave, and dishwasher.

    Speaking of the oven, the igniter has burned out three times. The guy that replaced the first one showed me how to do it again because he was surprised that this one lasted that long. They go bad about every 3 months so you might as well learn how to change it. "These are pure shit, " he said. The manufacturer’s part is $78 and is not warranty if you put it in. A generic ignitor is $18 and has a one year warranty.

    Stuff is not made to last at fucking all. I feel like we’re being fleeced.

    Stupid shit like this hits hard to some folks in the south. I have family members are pissed how “everything is changing”, so much in fact that this very thing caused a disturbance at a local college pub. Last year, one of my dumbass family members was thrown out for being rude. When I asked him what happened he said…

    " That god damn Yankee girl wanted to know if I wanted a fucking pop. What the fuck is a pop? So I asked her. She said something like a soda or whatever and I told her, it’s a fucking coke and she needs to go back to fucking Chicago and get fucked. Don’t bring your stupid shit down here."

    Even more f’d up, is he would have ordered a Sprite.

    I dislike a few of my relatives.
