2020-03-22 Ebata: "Well, you think H company's products is so good don't you ? Ha-ha-ha" [長年日記]

I've been talking about I "hate" the phrase "Japan's world-class technology" many times before.

"What did you do to develop this technology on earth ?"

I've been saying it all the time.

-----

The other day, my home washing machine was broken.

This miracle machine has been running for 18 years.

My wife inquired me about "repair or replacement", so I suggested "repair".

However, she strongly insisted on “replacement”.

Ebata: "You don't have to make inquiries from the beginning. I know that the longest person (my wife) has the right to decide."

Wife: "If I do not properly pass the decision, I cannot get an advice for the replacement from an engineer(me).

Indeed, it seems that buying a washing machine alone was "heavy" for her.

-----

The following was conversation with a clerk at a mass retailer.

Clerk: "Company P and Company H are excellent in washing machines"

Ebata: "Which company is your recommended?"

Clerk: "Just my taste, but I would recommend this "H Company" washing machine overwhelmingly."

Ebata: "Well, you think H company's products is so good don't you ? Ha-ha-ha"

-----

I am not involved in the manufacture of washing machines, and I am not so happy if the H company's products is complimented.

Of course, not. So, if I am asked

"What did you do to develop this washing machine on earth ?"

Of course, I have not been doing anything.
