Angry Old Geezer on the Phone: "YES. I WAS IN YOUR SHOP LAST WEEK AND YOU SAID THIS COLLAR WOULD FIT MY DOG."

AOGotP: "I WOULDN'T TRUST YOU TO REPLACE A NEWSPAPER MUCH LESS A DOG COLLAR!"
ME: "What's a newspaper?"
AOGotP: "I WANTED A COLLAR TO FIT MY DOG!"
ME: "Alrighty. So refund, then? If you send the collar back, I can issue you a..."
AOGotP: "WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO SEND IT BACK TO YOU?!?! I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!"
ME: <Cartoon light bulb goes off over my head> "You let the collar out all the way and it still didn't fit your dog?"
AOGotP: "----"
ME: "It's adjustable. You just take the nylon strap and push it through the piece of metal hardware called "The Butterfly" and you....."
AOGotP: <CLICK!!!!!>
ME: <Into the dial Tone> "Have a Super Nice Day, you wonderful, beautiful, dumpster fire, you."
