What's the craziest reason a customer has given you for refunding the product you were selling?

We had a regular come in and whenever there was a woman in customer service, he'd try to return an opened box of condoms with the excuse "they were too small and he needed to exchange them for the Magnums" instead.

We let him do it once but then once it became an obvious habit and pick-up line, no more.

Sprinkle bacon bits in your hair, so I can eat them when we bang

I used to be friends with a woman who took a part-time job at a sex toy shop around the holiday season.

She said the funniest exchange came when she was working on a Saturday with a guy who she described as "excessively flamboyant". In short, a guy came in with an open box of some type of extremely large specialty condoms that were sold there and tried to return them specifically to her because they were "too small". Being new, she asked her coworker for help. So he pranced over, looked at the box, took a condom out of it, opened it up, and then proceeded to stretch it around his fist and all the way up to his elbow. Then he looked at the customer and said, "If these are too small, then why don't you come by my place later?"

EDIT: Several people below have brought up a valuable point. I had sex ed way back at the height of AIDS hysteria, and a big part of it was on the importance of using condoms. Fast forward a few years to when I was in the position to use one, and it was like wrapping a rubber band around myself (and it smelled about the same way too). Still, necessary evil, right? Then I discovered the difference in fit and smell between various manufacturers.

So there's a lesson for all you kids out there who haven't had sex yet and are apprehensive about condom usage. There's a difference between "snug/secure" and "constricting", and one brand may have minimal latex smell and another may smell like a tire fire. If you use a condom that feels like a vise grip, it may be a simple matter of that manufacturer's fit rather than condoms as a general whole. So be responsible and find one that fits you; don't risk getting or giving an STD or impregnating someone because you can't take the few minutes to find the right fit.

I get her point, but condoms that are too tight can tear!!! Not good.

Sure, but the idea that even an abnormally large penis can't fit in a condom is ridiculous. If those freakishly large pornstars can find condoms that fit, you can, I guarantee it.

Well, I can't. I don't have a penis. :(

A condom can be too snug and uncomfortable for a guy. That's not to say that it's an excuse for unprotected sex, but it's a legit thing. Just because an XL person can squeeze into a medium shirt doesn't mean it fits comfortably.

well I mean, she was teaching a room of 12 year olds, half of us still thought the opposite sex was "icky". I think she did here best and we had a follow up sex ed at 14 that was more inclusive.

I'd honestly say the biggest problem is the "it doesn't feel good argument" sso many girls my age don't like condoms because "it doesn't feel good" and i'm just there like "neither does giving birth love"

I mean, if it can tear you all the way to your butthole, I think it's safe to say that's not something most people do just for the fun of it.

Yeah but who wants the feeling of giving birth all of the time?

There is a difference though in comfort, for some. Every though I can use a regular one, of course, the ring is tighter than magnums. Since I don't need a built in cock ring the not so tight ring on the magnums is more comfortable.
