It's a well-known fact that inanimate objects can sense their impending demise. Nothing I ever replace passes on without making a fuss. I wouldn't mind if I was doing it 'cos the original was already broken, but more often than not, I'll order something and have to wait weeks and weeks, and the original thing will break down the day after I placed the order. I reckon that if I didn't place the order, the thing wouldn't break down.

If you follow...

Do you by any chance have an atmospheric DV??

That'll be the problem if you do.
