LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 29, 2023) — It’s an iconic episode of "Seinfeld" — Jerry tries to return a jacket and when asked why, he replies, “spite.” In fact, he goes on to explain, he didn’t care for the person who sold it to him.
Unsurprisingly, the salesperson states that “spite” isn’t an acceptable condition for a refund.
Maybe Jerry was a bit too honest.
But you ever been caught in a similar situation — wanting to return an unwanted item for an unjustified reason?
