my youngest dd was reading this over my shoulder... her response "it sure would be nice if people could just suck a little less" sad but true....what amazes me the most is that i would never even be able to come up with the ideas some do.

[quote=fluffyme02]Oh, My Goodness!!!!

I was born a redhead like both my sons, but after a few years nature decided that I should have brownish hair. So I tried to get some with a reddish look to it. Next to last dye was a loud, brilliant red that shocked me when I looked in the mirror when it dried. I immediately went and got some of the dye remover, I think it was called, very appropriately OOPS or something close to that. I used about half of it and got a more livable color. Since reading your comments, from now on I'll ALWAYS check the inside of the box before buying it.

after unpacking, it is a good idea to check the parts list also, once I had a yard swing mostly put together when I noticed there were only 3 supports to hold the chair part in,,,,,took it all apart and returned it to walmart, and I marked on the box that parts were missing. the clerk at walmarts said she was sorry I had marked it like that, it could have been resold.........not how about that????

That's unbelievable - I never thought to look in the box to see if it's the right hair color.

I'm so glad that he wasn't to upset when he opened up the lego box and also that they had more.

I bet I will be checking more carefully when I by things from now on.

The reason I asked: about 10 years ago, for Christmas, I got a new set of pans, or so I thought. After opening, I found someone elses OLD set of pans. The box had been retaped, and I never thought anything about it. Penneys did take them back, but like you, some people have NO conscience, NO morals, NO dignity, NO sense of fairness, and so many other NOs. It's a sad world indeed!!!![quote=Ramona Byrd][quote=fluffyme02]Oh, My Goodness!!!!

It's just another reason I love this board! Any time the way some people act starts getting to me, I just come here to have my faith in people and human nature restored. Sure there are always those out there to take unfair advantage, but then for each of them there are more like the generous, loving, helpful, supportive and giving angels we meet daily here on the quilting board.

@#$%^& So THAT's why my next to last hair dye job looked so different!! Now I'll always check the insides too. Never thought to do that, never thought it would be necessary. It's sad, can't trust anyone these days.[/quote]

I hadn't heard of this, I will now be checking my boxes!

:lol:

Light Ash Blonde and ended up with some reddish/coppery color Desert Sunset or something like that. Since my hair had been everything from silver to pink to fire engine red I went ahead with it but Light Ash was my favorite and that was what I wanted.
