    Brother in law, stubborn as he is, outright refuses any option other than giving it back to the shelter.

    It’s hard to admit you’ve made such a big mistake. The magnitude of the solution directly relates to the magnitude of the mistake. If you got a jacket that you wind up not liking, no one would be put out if you returned it to the store. He’s only stubborn because he’s trying to convince himself he didn’t fuck up that bad.

        That was the point. Most people understand that. I’m saying the brother in law is trying to convince himself his mistake is on the same level as getting a jacket you don’t like.
