Legendary bassist Leland Sklar put a switch on his bass that does nothing. He calls it the "producer switch" — when a producer asks for a different sound, he flips the switch (making sure the producer can see), and carries on. He says this placebo has saved him a lot of grief.

My ex had an ancient high-mileage Mitsubishi Mirage that we paid $300 for. The catalytic converter had been removed so the CEL was permanently on. She would constantly complain about it being on and that I needed to fix her car. Thing is, there was nothing actually wrong with it. So one day I removed the bulb and told her that I changed the spark plugs. She never complained about the car again.
