    My dad falls into this category he constantly replaces things with way worse things just because they are new, I can’t get my mind round how he can replace really good working stuff with new junk that isn’t even capable of doing the job.

    Wish I was joking but he does this constantly.

      Thats where you say “hey dad do you still need this janky old…”

      Then when the new stuf breaks you can come over and be the hero using his old reliable stuff.

        If only he tends to give these things to the conmen installing the junk. I’ve tried to stop him wasting his money so many times but it’s futile I’ve tried to use his latest oven he had an amazing one before but when I tried to use the new one following every instruction he said and the actual manual I looked up online myself the food came out later absolutely fridge cold.

        He insists his new cooker is brilliant, what can you do with that response to something that’s obviously broken from new and he should be returning.

        He might need a home but I can’t do that to him truthfully, I just wish he had some common sense when it comes to things like appliances etc.
