Returning things you wore

[OrangePixyStix]

Have you ever bought something, wore it without removing the tags, and then returned it?

They just had this discussion on the radio and they say 1 out of 8 women have done this, and a man even called in and admitted to doing this with an expensive dress shirt for a company function! haha


The only time I did something like that was for my B-pics I had picked up a pair of super high stripper heels that I wore just for the photos and then took them back w/ the receipt right after. They did inspect the heel before refunding me, but I never wore them outside, only indoors for the photoshoot. I still felt bad about doing that but I knew I would never wear those shoes in public.

I did this with the dress in our engagement photos.
I couldn't afford the dress, but literally didn't have anything "fancy" enough.

This is the only time I've done it, and do not plan to do so again.

Nope

Yeah, most of the women claimed to do it with dresses or suits for one-time occasions and the price was over their comfort zone.

I've only done it if something goes wrong when I wash it, but I have a bad habit of buying a ton of stuff and then returning most of it a day later. I hate trying shit on in the store, especially since I can't move.

I just did this with a pair of shoes this weekend. I wore them for a few hours and they killed my feet.

[sapphire bou]

No. I have known people who have.

[MyName]

Nope.

I don't even return things that I haven't worn but don't fit/have a defect/etc. Shopping is torture enough!

[glw]

Nope.
I've never removed the tags, worn it, then returned it, either.

If I do this - I tell them I wore them and they sucked. I've never had anyone be mean about it.

I used to work in a shoe dept of a department store, so I used to hate when people would return shoes. Yet somehow I still don't feel guilty.

Nope. If I end up not liking it I just donate it.

[lizardesque]

I could see doing this if it turns out to be defective or something, but I would tell them I wore it and why I'm returning it.

[shorty20]

No, I hate having to return anything, it's such a pain.

[charitylynne79]

Nope - never done it.

Also, this scenario just reminds me of the many sitcom characters who have tried this and failed. Don't try this with anything you can't afford to keep. Learn from TV, people! LOL

This is me as well!

[nearmiss]

I've never done that and don't intend to. If I can't afford it, I won't buy it.

[mayflowers22]

Nope.

[alabasterangel]

This is to me.. as stray shopping carts are to Liz.. BTW.

[Deleted]

No, I'd feel horrible about doing it...I can't explain it, but it's somehow the same as stealing to me. It's one thing to buy something and need to return it for a valid reason, but to buy something KNOWING you will return because it's out of your price range is just...shady.

[MissusTexas]

I've never done that.
