Sticking it to the man

My dear husband has on overactive sense of justice when it comes to warranties on products he buys. Most of us after buying the Mr. Coffee coffeemaker and then it has a problem 6 months later simply pitch the thing and get a new $17 coffeemaker. Not my husband.

Nope, first he digs out the receipt (which he actually still has), call the company and haggles with them for half an hour, packs the thing up, and pays the money to ship the thing to the warranty center. Two months later, we get a new coffee maker shipped to us. And my husband is so proud of himself for his "free" coffeemaker as he holds it in his arms and proudly proclaims, "that's sticking it to the man!"
