The company ran a post-Christmas sale and still had it in stock, so I ordered it along with a few other things. When I got my order the other day, the one thing I really wanted- the shirt- wasn't in the package. They'd sent me a pair of pants instead. I checked their website and the shirt wasn't appearing anymore- looks like it's sold out. I wrote customer service, explained the situation, and asked if they could still locate one for me. The letter I got back was that I needed to send them photos of what I received, then they'd send me return labels, and when my stuff was in transit, they'd credit my account back and I could place a new order. I wrote back again explaining that I still wanted that shirt and said that I assumed they'd be able to find me one easily at a corporate level.

We were on a well-traveled stretch of highway, but it was somewhat remote. He said he had run out of gas, so I volunteered to take him to the closest service station. Turns out, the place didn't sell gas cans, so he went person to person in the parking lot to see if he could borrow one or buy one from someone. At the same time, another guy walked up- he, too, had run out of gas and was trying to find a can to buy or a loaner, and the two guys sat there and started a bidding war over one random traveler's gas can.
