I hope this thread can grow for a long time with contributions of real life examples. So I will start with one.
Years ago while working 2 jobs I thought I would order some clothes from JC Penney and take advantage of their free shipping with a large order to save me the time of picking things up in person. Among the items ordered were a dozen tee-shirts XL-XT. What arrived were XL. These were regular length. I phoned them and explained the mixup, and that I wanted them to send me a return label and the correct size tee-shirts. The girl working their customer service said that I should not return them and keep them because XT is for people who are 6' 2" and taller. To which I explained I'm 6' 4 & 1/2". She assumed I was shorter than 6' 2", like she could tell my height over the phone.
You can't fix stupid, but sometimes you can get a good laugh from it.
