I’ll go first. Our dishwasher broke down, and since it’s like 15 years old, it was way past warranty and customer support. Everyone told me to replace it with a new one. I am terrible at fixing things, but I somehow managed, and for about 30 dollars in off-market spare parts, I got it going again. Saved our family around 700 dollars. My wife began clapping slowly. Then my kids. A single tear ran down my eldest son’s cheek. “I just did what I had to do,” I said. “And you’re a good man for it,” said my wife. “A manly man.” submitted by /u/monikosnuosavybe
