Musicians' genuine workplace complaint about failing equipment

The bane of musicians all over the world: a music stand that sinks by itself, caused by stripped threading inside the bore of the stand.

John, get yourself another music stand. This one's a sinker. The conductor'll keep on badmouthing you 'cause you'll wind up staring down at the music and not at him!
