Fairly common attitude, I've found. It's a big reason I stopped renting and
bought an airplane.

An FBO I used to rent from had a 172 with a primer that would squirt fuel
all over your hand every time you used it. Their idea of fixing it was to
tell everyone *not* to use it. Another place had a Warrior with an amp meter
that always read a high rate. Their advice: "Ignore it; it's always been
like that."
