Inappropriate, or unwise words uttered about your hifi.

I was counting (to 3) in the 'Life of a Relationship' sense.

1) Was an arrogant & potentially expensive lack of mechanical sympathy with a car, (two mindless times), and a refusal to listen.

My Dad frequently gets out of the car after been driven by Mum muttering "No mechanical sympathy" and shaking his head.

I find myself (using the inside voice) saying the same about the current Mrs 54.

Inappropriate, or unwise words uttered about your hifi.
I think the most annoying thing (words) are when one of my lady friends, kids, grandkids, or their friends say " Wait, you spent how much on all that stuff". Yet their friends or some of the neighbors drive around in a 1k beater car with a 5k system in it. The irony never ceases to amaze me.
Yet they want to sit and listen for hours to the point where you have to make an excuse to politely tell them it's time to go.

"No mechanical sympathy"

I like that expression and have to keep it in my notes.
