Rant: That REI tent leaked like a sieve in a light drizzle last night

Was camping up near Big Bear lake, not even a storm just steady mist, and water was dripping right through the seams on a tent I paid $250 for. Ended up wrapping my sleeping bag in a trash bag and sleeping under a tarp I had in my truck. Has anyone else had a brand new tent fail that fast?

Everything's made to fall apart right after you buy it these days.

Just bought a new coffee maker three months ago and the carafe already has a crack running through it. Figure either I'm paying for planned obsolescence or I just can't be trusted with glass objects at my age. Maybe they're onto something making stuff that falls apart, keeps me employed replacing it.
