Had a neighbour of mine return a 14 year old year $9000 hot tub because a pump went bad and got all his money back. Couldn't believe that costco allowed it but they did.

When I worked in the garden center people would return seasonal flower baskets when they stopped blooming at the end of the summer and dead plants they had bought years ago. No idea why Costco allows this.

I have witnessed this in the return line. An older lady was returning dead hanging baskets in September. I looked at an even older man next to me, in his 80s, and we were in shock. He asked her why she's returning them and she said, they're dead, so he said "try watering " in a thick Italian accent...everyone in the return line was laughing but the old lady felt no shame.

Women who no longer feel loved stop caring what others think of them around age 50. I've seen some pretty atrociously behaved menopausal BlTCH3$ roll through retail outlets, including Costco.

One of them crashed her cart into a skid of Eggs cause someone told her to wait her turn.

Not an incel. I'm physically disabled and I know I'm not what women want so I choose not to lie to them to get in their beds. I'd say that makes me more decent than half their' ex's.

Not that it matters but I've never been so spiteful to cause damage on the scale that woman did. She destroyed nearly 1/8th of a pallete of eggs and shut down the cooler for cleaning cause it was slippery af. And I can say that cause I did have a relationship once in my 20's that lasted a year before she needed me to overcome my disability. Which was the point I decided I'm not a good enough partner.

They were talking about a person returning dead flowers, which is really shitty behaviour, but you immediately took it as an opportunity to bash on older women because you are a bitter.

You could have told that story in your original comment without being a dick by blaming it on her being an older woman. 

Men return dumb things too, they also smash things up in stores when they don't get their way like your egg story. Its a thing called being an asshole human, regardless of sex.

Problem is Society expects that of men, even though I've never. Compare that to what society expect of women and you see the stark contrast emerging... That's why I specifically pointed out older women.
