Some fucking MBA shithead decides to save a couple bucks on parts by putting plastic internals in a part that sees torque and now my fucking shower valve face comes shooting off the wall like it’s a goddamn rocket and I come back from being away to steam condensation dripping off the ceilings and water rifling out of the wall like the goddamn Trevi fountain
So now I shut off the water, pulled out the old cartridge with the valve stem broken clear in two and replaced it with a CHINESE one that is properly made out of FUCKING BRASS like it should have been in the first place, all of which could have been avoided if this made in germany bullshit had been properly built to begin with
German engineering my fucking ass
I hate how glass is literally infinitely recyclable and we as a society chose plastic instead because it’s less prone to break when underpaid teamsters huck boxes into trucks and now we’re going to die choking on micro plastics
I know more of it comes tires and polyester clothes but still
I get plastic instead of glass mostly, glass is heavy as shit. What I do not get is plastic instead of paper. Like if you need it to be tight to water, sure, but so much stuff is plastic with airholes, just use cardboard
Aluminum cans are the predominant beverage container now even for beer. No clue why we have to use plastic for water and Gatorade still
Cans are coated in plastic on the inside but a lot less than a whole ass bottle to be fair
