RE: The Old Dog Discusses: Planned Obsolescence Exposes The Dark Side of Product Design!

Yes, I've been a victim myself. I had a bathroom faucet that started leaking. I looked into replacing the washer and found out that there was no washer. You have to buy an expensive "faucet replacement cartridge." When I called the company to order it he asked me how old it was and when I said "only 5 years old" he replied, "Wow, I'm surprised it lasted that long."

Amazing. I live in a house that was built in 1960 and the bathrooms still have the original faucets. I've changed one washer in 10 years! Chrome plated solid brass!
