a 'good' item does what it is supposed to do... everytime you try to use it. what do you own that's 'not so good'? why do you keep it?

My alarm clock. It takes a rocket scientist to re-set it when the power goes off, the "buttons" are on the back, but the symbols are on the front, & if I don't do the whole process in a couple of secoonds--well. Forget it. It's set on CD, beautiful nature sounds. I KNOW it is! It shows that it is. Some morning it wakes me with a horrid buzz that gets louder & louder until I can reach over & shut it off; other mornings it plays the CD. & I haven't even TOUCHED IT. Like PCs, programmed thermostats etc., it is simply PERVERSE. Have you ever noticed how PERVERSE these things can be? I keep it, because I don't believe in a million years I'd get anything better; I'd just have to get used to a NEW perversity. C'est la vie!

My Internet phone service, Sunrocket! Stinks! It gives a busy signal sometimes when I'm not even on the phone. sometimes you pick up the phone to use it and get no dial tone. Sometimes you will get a dial tone, but you have to wait for about 30 seconds. Sometimes it will disconnect you right in the middle of your conversation with someone. Sometimes there is static on the line while you are talking to someone. I can't get the voicemail to work. If you call customer service, you will be on the phone with them for a good one hour or more. If you get them to understand your problem or if you understand the accent of the person working for Sunrocket, it could take over a month for them to esculate the problem to the right level tech. (Actually it took me 3 months to fix and MANY MANY phone calls.)
I'm trapped into a one year contract, but HEY! it is a cheap price for a home phone service.

My fiance, LOL!
When we moved in together he agreed to go 50/50 on the chores.
Totally unreliable... I cook, clean, iron, wash and basically keep the place we live in "livable".
He plays the Xbox 360 or his Nintendo DS.
Hmmmm.... why do I keep him? He makes up in other areas so who am I to complain? ;)

My computer...a Hewitt Packard. The hard drive got corrupted the first month I had it, and the floppy drive is dead. I can't afford a new computer right now, so I just make the best of it...back up is my friend.

My children. I had them thinking they would help around the house but someone just told me that my 11 month old is too small to do laundry. I am seriously bummed. So far I haven't returned them because one it would hurt and two I love them

My HP Pavillion laptop. I love it so much...but it freezes up all the time and the customer service stinks so I am stuck with it. I keep it because I am poor and can't afford to replace it yet.

My Car and the only reason why I keep it is because my Ex does not pay me enough to buy another can we say *jerk*.
