now that Im thinking about it....
theres probably a ton of these weird cheapo things I do....
Ill just have to think about it. hmmmmm
Here's some:
car/motorcycle/trailer tires. This one burns me up inside. literally hours of my life lost on this subject. All I want to know...quiet ride, massive cornering grip, pretty tread pattern, I dont give half a turd! HOW LONG DO THEY LAST? ugh.
they're circles of rubber STFU already and give me a mile per dollar figure. lol. I piss myself off on this one. but I cant help it. I hate paying alot for items that wear - brake pads too.
I refuse to pay 15 dollars for the steam cleaner soap. i just use HE washer detergent. works as well if not better. not even 1/4 the price.
I cant throw any piece of electronics away until I open it up and know why it broke .
they'll sit on my toolbox for months. Until I cant look at it...or she throws it away lol
I HATE buying tools for a special project. HATE HATE HATE it. I will go out of my way jerryrigging my own tools to get them to work.... like need a hex head allen key in a socket? normal guy goes buy one, or a set of them...noooo not me. Ill cut an old allen wrench and slap it in a socket.
that's how I got my clutch slave out of the beemer. Or use the allen with a vice grip stuck on it..
Also needed a t50 to get my calipers off...dont have one. but the back end of one of my old chisels fits perfectly LOL.
theres more, and Ill think of them....
MY wife and my best friend both publicly lamb baste me for my problem..but I really cant help it.... I feel like even If I were LOADED with cash, I'd still do it.
Need to learn to accept my fault and deal with it.
