Yes, first world problem.
FIL has a nasty recliner. It has broken and he has fallen out of it. I firmly stated NO MORE. Today you will either take my recliner OR we will buy a new one. Zero choice. None! Choose now. My Wife said yours is shedding, I do NOT want it at my Mother’s house! (FIL just had to have this chair, salesperson told him not to buy it, we told him, he was smarter than anyone else. It was bonded leather, started pealing in a month. No warranty on the leather, zero, he was told up front.)
Wife and Mother went one way, I went another. Found four chairs which I thought would work, one for a very good price. MIL found two matching chairs she likes and bought them. Good. Done.
Wife calls back. She wants your chair gone. I really liked the one so ok, will just go back and buy it. Made my deal and went around to their dock. Guy brings it out on an appliance dolly, no padding. Flags go up for me. Got it right here, let me wrap it and we will load it up. I go around back of chair. Yep, scarred the leather with two lines AND put a hole it the back. Oh I’m sorry, let me just get some dye and paint it. You will never be able to see it. I went up front, give me my money back.
salesman, who had just told me that was the only one said wait, I have another one I saw the other day. I say fine, lets go look at it. Start walking, he says wait here you cannot go into the warehouse (where I just was). I state firmly give me my money back. Not happy. Took 30 minutes. Still a bit livid. Wasted 90 minutes of my life plus the rant time.
