There is a reason that this happens to men. Years ago Earth was only populated by one human species, MEN. About a thousand years ago there was a spaceship that was traveling through the galaxy and it broke down in Earth's atmosphere and it's been circling ever since in a very high orbit. It has a cloaking device so that we can't easily detect it. This spaceship was inhabited by a species called WOMEN ( pronounced WHOA- MEN). They had to get their ship fixed so they could continue on but they were incapable of fixing things or making their own parts. So, they beamed down and started co-mingling with the men.
Not much progress was made for a few centuries because the MEN didn't really make much that could be used in a spaceship. Until the Industrial Revolution. That changed everything. Think back to when you were living alone. You owned a toaster and it lasted forever. Same with your TV, Stereo and probably even your electric shaver. All this stuff never broke. Then you co-mingled with one of the WOMEN. That's when things started to change. All of a sudden you started needing new stuff on a regular basis. Stuff that used to last decades now mysteriously broke weeks after you bought it.
Well, that's because when you put your head on the pillow and fall asleep they, the WOMEN, beam back up to the ship with appliance parts for repairs and get instructions on how to deal with you the next day. Don't believe me? Why do you think they wear socks to bed? It's because the space ship has metal floors and their feet get cold.
Now this is gradually changing as the WOMEN became more skilled in repairing stuff, starting with Rosie the Riviter in WWII. Eventually they will fix their spaceship by themselves and depart leaving Earth populated solely by MEN and stuff will last decades again.
This is the absolute truth as related to me by a Navy Tomcat RIO in the Miramar NAS O'Club in 1983.
