And Bobby called to have the television fixed only to discover that what is broken is the most common part to break on a TV like ours, and so, naturally, it is not covered under the warranty. Because that would, you know, make sense.

John DeLorean, when he wanted to build a factory in Ireland, was angry that the builders refused to remove a fairy thorn tree. Laughing at their superstition, he did it himself, as locals shook their heads. From that day on, his fortunes declined. As far as Irish fairy-believers are concerned, his fall was a direct result of a fairy curse, a punishment for daring to destroy what belongs to them.

Personally, I doubt it's a fairy that's responsible for your troubles. I think your Noldor muses are upset that you didn't take them along on your vacation and are neglecting them now in favor of a bunch of soon-to-be-drowned Edain, and are meddling with your things as a form of revenge!
