With me it's always like this: I buy something, my family/parents criticizes me....... and then they need it! Every time!
 I buy flashlights/ light-sticks/ candles: power fails. I but Water-Jel: someone get's burned.
The general attitude: It's always unneccesary to be prepared untill the SHTF, and that is a really bad thing.
