When, sure, you can have a refund, like now a lot of travel people. But it turns out that refund is not the refund you want. That's like a voucher down the line with a code that has a limited bit. It is a refund, but my God. You'd rather have had the original thing you've returned.

When I went in there and I just gave you the old Wolverhampton refund. What's that? It's not possible after you've opened goods or tampered with them or whatever. But whatever's happening, you're not getting one.

When you've actually bought something. A pub or anywhere. You've used cash. And you just were expecting a bit more change than that. Or whatever comes back over the counter. Seems not enough.

The fact that in my house, any pound coins that are in public seem to officially belong to my wife somehow.

When last night's kebab just makes an unwelcome return. It's the chilly element. Chilly can return.

When you take something back and they say to you, I'll just get the manager. There's always a mile-long queue behind you giving you daggers.

When you're charged a collection fee for picking up the item you don't want, despite the fact you're ordering a replacement for them, which they'll deliver to you in the same sodding van they collect the return from.

When the waiter or waitress asks you how the food is, and you tell them that it's rather salty. It's a bit dry. It's a bit burnt. And they haven't got a clue what to say. So they thank you and tell you, they'll tell the chef. I'll tell the chef. And now the chef hates you. And you're thinking, what's in it for me? *

Trying to whip off four sheets of bog roll with one hand and instead being given 20. Because you've misjudged the whipping speed and angle.
