Ever have thematic problems? One year it was water problems. The basement flooded 2x. Then a toilet mysteriously overflowed while we were out & damaged the drywall in the basement. Then the septic alarm went off in the middle of the night & we had to get an emergency service 1/5

Then the outdoor tap froze and cracked and created a huge ice sculpture attached to the side of the house. And the shower leaked and had to be seen by a plumber 3 times before it was resolved. And then the dishwasher hose came unattached... 2/5

Another year it was mice. Mice got into the cottage in the summer. Then mice got into the house just before Xmas (we think they came in from the garage in a box of ornaments). It took ages to be mouse-free. Now our mouser dog inspects anything coming in from the garage. 3/5

This year it seems to be tires. One tire on my husband's car just goes flat periodically. Two tires on the quad won't hold air more than about 20 minutes. The quad trailer has a flat tire. The tire pressure light in my truck keeps going on...Garage says there's nothing wrong. 4/5

One of the quad tires has already been into the tire shop to be fixed, and it's leaking air again. And I need to use the quad and trailer for hauling mulch and peat moss this week. Seriously, what gives? 5/5 #FirstWorldProblems
