That is absolutely true. I see folks throwing stuff away, because
they screwed up the power cord by sucking it up in the vacuum cleaner,
as a single example.

Im flabergasted by folks who go all adither when they find out you
dont have go buy something new if it quites working.

I know a guy who bought a new TV set, because his 3 yr old big screen
quit working.

The new one didnt work either. The outlet was dead.. which was
connected to a switch on the wall he always knew was there..but
because it didnt turn on a light...didnt pay any attention to in the 9
yrs he lived in the house.
