WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU CONFUSE SOMETHING NEW WITH SOMETHING BETTER

Over the years, I’ve watched a bunch of blokes make the same, dopey mistake. They somehow wind up infatuated with their secretary/kids’ babysitter/neighbour’s wife and then turn their back on the woman who has put up with their bad moods, sleep-farts and leaving the dunny seat up for the last three decades. This, you might suggest, is human nature and proof that ‘till death do us part’ is a back-seat promise too far, but I reckon it’s also what can happen when you confuse something new with something better.

Car-snobs do it, too, and it kind of gets stuck in my craw. You know the sort of bloke: He’ll waltz into a conversation and start bagging out old tech on the basis that his new car features all this stuff designed to make the car go faster and keep the planet safe.
