Denise smirked, thinking she’d trapped me. But I wasn’t about to let her win. I calmly said, “Before I sign, I want to take the fridge for a test run. Just one week.”
She hesitated but agreed, thinking I’d come crawling back.
That week, I quietly researched my rights and discovered she’d technically sold me something disguised as a gift. I called the company, explained the scam, and found a loophole to cancel the contract.
When I returned the fridge and showed her the cancellation papers, her smug grin faded. I added, “Gifts don’t come with strings. Next time, don’t try to trick the wrong person.”
Denise never tried another “gift.” I learned sometimes, standing firm and doing your homework is the best way to protect yourself—especially when people want to pull a fast one.
