Fire insurance for your house is a waste of money.  My parents
have always had fire insurance on the house and it hasn't
burned down - not even part of it!

Seriously though, buying an extended warranty is the same
as buying breakdown insurance - you're betting the insurance
company that your car will fall apart.  If extended warranties
were never useful, don't you think someone would be selling
them really cheap since they'd never have to pay any claims??

Those of us who are risk averse will buy it, those of us who are
risk accepters won't.
