"This vacuum doesn't suck!! Here's the problem! There's a hole in the hose. Instead of returning it, I'll just lemon-rig it with duct tape."
"That's a brand new car!! Are you seriously going to lemon-rig it with red fingernail polish instead of sending it back for a paint job?"
"...But I just bought these chairs and they are scratching up my floors! The end caps are cheap! The metal is poking through! I don't want to waste time sending them back; besides, I love these chairs and we have a party in two days! I'll go to the hardware store and buy some decent end caps. Why waste time when I can just lemon-rig it?"
