Equipment Flogging Syndrome only occurs when the missus finds out you bought yet another piece of (we all agree) necessary equipment and proceeds to beat you to a jelly with it.
Or perhaps none of y'all are married to a Southern girl and never heard of it?
Oh yeah, I do know that one. My background in this business came from being in the commercial carpet cleaning business for a couple of decades. And when I proposed buying my first Cimex, my wife firmly objected - reminding me of another very recent machine acquisition I had made. But somehow I managed to prevail, and I was able to get the Cimex. Her resistance made that purchase all the more nervous on my part. Fortunately it worked great (I wasn't beat to a jelly). To this day, I'll sometimes tease her about it... gently reminding her about her objection to that purchase and I'll ask "what if we hadn't bought that first Cimex"? It gets a smile out of her (most of the time).
