Not done 2 weeks this year and everyone I know has something breaking or becoming faulty.

Me - kitchen tap, laptop and work shoes. Have a spare pair of shoes.

Know of others that their fridge freezer, car, light fittings, watches, rings, teeth, shower, washer etc have broken, lose a bit (stone in ring, tooth) or needs .repairing.

Is it just me and my circle of friends and family?
 
Its bean counters at manufacturers trying to cut as much as they possible can for profit margins.

Lots of things are made really terribly these days.
 
I’ve lost my suit trousers. How the hell do you misplace suit trousers? I don’t have many clothes, and only two suit pairs of suit trousers but they are nowhere to be found.
I didn’t go out to a meeting, wearing my trousers, take them off somewhere and came home in my pants. Or did I? It’s madness.

Also, both external lights broke within two weeks of each other. Maybe I should check my trousers aren’t over a light causing it to overheat..

Srs, where are my trousers? Size 36R for secret Santa stalkers!

Not broken down as such, but my car just needed £550 of work to get through its MOT :(

Wouldn't mind quite so much if I didn't already have the replacement on order!

Thought you were listing 'me' as one of the items breaking down.
