Original Message I am having more and more experiences with both ordinary and professional people who don't seem to be able to understand the simplest things.

I've never encountered this before. It's eerie and freaking me out at times.

As one recent example, I was just offered a free product at a store. No sign up, no contract, no nothing. Here, it's free. But in order to get it for free I had to pay for it.

Now let me be clear: it wasn't a free gift if I agreed to sign up for something else. It was a free product and there wasn't anything anywhere to sign up for anyway!

When I approached the manager about having to pay for a free product by paying for the free product, he agreed with me that the product was indeed free but he also agreed that in order to get that free product, I would have to pay for it.

(Monty Python's dead parrot skit anyone?)

Well we battled back and forth for a long time and in the end I never got my free product and the vendor can't understand why I wasn't willing to pay for the free product.

So tell me...am I going mad?
