My List of Things Where a "Good One" of It Doesn't Exist

Let me explain:

In the world, there are a few products where no matter what brand, how much you pay, new or used, they all blow. Here’s the list.

Dishwashers.

EVERY single dishwasher I’ve EVER used sucks. Friends dishwasher, parents dishwasher, dishwasher at place of employment? Sucks. Every house I’ve moved into? Even worse. Dishes never get fully clean. Or theres some inexplicable problem, like after every wash JUST the silverware somehow is the only thing not clean.

Printers.

Ink problems. Jamming paper. The cheapest, shittiest manufacturing possible that feels like it’s going to break every time you touch it. Loud as FUCK. The fact that printers themselves are cheap because the printer manufacturers are just tricking you into having to buy ink — which is basically as expensive as unicorn blood. And when ink is sold in the 3/4 color combo cartridges? So I have to pay for a WHOLE NOTHER 4 color cartridge because I’m out of MAGENTA? Nope, sorry, I’ll be taking a hammer to your face, printer.

Umbrellas.

Think about the longest length of time you’ve had an umbrella before it broke. Not very long, is it? The shitty little arm things that hold it up are always terrible and bend really easily — even on expensive umbrellas.

I’ll update this list and repost when I add to it.
