Have you ever thought about how easy it would be if we could just walk into Wal-Mart with your borfriend/ husband and say, "Please take back Jim. He's defective, can I get one that isn't?"

One piece of advice in this case: Stay out of the clearance aisle.

He may look cute broken now, just wait until you realize that you only save a few dollars for a trait that'll last a lifetime (or until you return him).

Anyway, I'm sure everyone has either been to the point where they are so frustrated with their man that they just want their time back.  It doesn't even have to be that we are with a bad guy, it can even just be a guy that doesn't get us (and lets face it, how often does THAT happen?), or perhaps he has some bad habits that you'd like t get rid of. Maybe you bought him on an impulse buy, and he doesn't match your interior decorating?

Have no fear- just return him to your local Wal-Mart, or for those of you with a little more expensive taste, perhaps a Macy's! Just remember, you only have 90 days and for those deep seeded issues- you may need a receipt to prove your investment.

Maybe you desire a complete money back deal- return him for a full refund. Perhaps you're only looking to trade in for one without the defects that still has all the good qualities. Maybe you're just looking for a rare model with a "help around the house" mode and if you're realy lucky a "listen" mode. Most models come standard without these features, as they are a premium upgrade.

Just rememeber while browsing through your selection, the ones on clearance are there for a reason. You might look him over, and think that he looks ok- little to no real damage. Beware! Just because there is no cosmetic damage does not mean that he is fully entact! there may be unseen problems underneath that you wont see until you unwrap him and take him home with you. It might take weeks or months to notice these defects, but believe me- there is a reason they've been put on clearance!

Don't get me wrong, sometimes you can fidn a good bargain in the clearance aisle. Perhaps, there were too many ordered and not enough demand. Sometimes, they went out of season, or were the wrong size (remember to try it on before you buy it ladies!-- haha, just kidding!) but ultimately if you discover one missing a button or has a snag- it may not seem like a big deal while you're shopping, but once you get him home you will be regretting that missing button when you realize that you couldn't find one that matches, and your boob falls out of your shirt. Good luck with that one, not only will you look foolish but you'll not be able to return it after wearing it.

Happy Shopping ladies! Remember, save your receipts, and don't wait until the holiday rush to go (not only s it crowded and depressing, but you get stuck with the leftovers!
