It’s almost as if we should be providing these for free to less fortunate folks.

I remember one time finding a posting on marketplace looking for a tent as someone ruined theirs the night before. I had extra camp gear so I contacted them and hooked em up with a tent, sleeping bag and an air mattress. They were so sweet, I felt so bad for them and wish I could of helped them more.

That sounds like some shitty material science, or corner cutting. Probably both.

My wife refuses to load the dishwasher because to her she “doesn’t do it right” or “don’t want to fight with it”

So I get OP.

I’ve had to teach people how to mop a floor, and how you should sweep first, it’s just deer in headlights when explaining it. People just don’t go outta their lane to learn new things or fix things that don’t work right.
