Washing cars
From the i’ve-heard-it-too-many-times-in-church-meetings file: I really don’t like the “nobody washes a rental car”/“nobody paints a rented house” claim. After all, everybody who rents a car washes it, and everybody who rents a house paints it—the rental charge includes payment for those things. Actually, given the way some non-rented cars and houses I’ve seen lately look, a lot of renters are doing a better job at upkeep (or at least paying for the upkeep that gets done) than owners are.

I can't say I have ever heard that one...
You get it when you've got a speaker who's being political without being overtly political. It's part of the basis of the whole "ownership society" idea, and in certain regions [cough]Utah[/cough] of the church, i heard it and related constructions pretty frequently.
