Clocks that need batteries changed. They are right two times a day and since both have different times that makes four times I can look at them and get the right time.
My computer screen. I cracked it a while ago, but in order to get it repaired I would have to drop it at the repair place and pick it up several days later. They assume that everyone has some kind of fallback position if they have to do without their computer for a while, but I don’t — no smart phone, no tablet, no laptop. So I just live with the cracked screen.
Also, the door to the microwave has no handle. It broke off a long time ago, due to flimsy construction, and no one makes replacement parts, so you have to employ brute force to open the door.
For years we used a coffee maker with a broken latch on the lid. It wouldn’t operate unless the lid was latched, so we put a quart-sized Ziplock bag filled with rice on top of the thing to hold it closed. We kept using it until the day it gave up the ghost completely, at which time I was forced to buy a new coffee maker.

a dripping faucet in the kitchen…at least I am not fixing it until the temps are al above freezing.
