When booking online....

and presented with a set of options, each of which comes in Expensive flavour and Cheap flavour, with the price for both Expensive and Cheap marked next to every box, WHO in the name of little green chickens clicks the Expensive box without looking at the price, clicks through to the next page, clearly marked as Expensive flavour, finishes the transaction, and then several days later, phones the merchant to complain that, actually, they didn't want Expensive flavour, they wanted Cheap flavour.

The boxes are clearly separated, the only way they could be making this mistake is if they aren't actually looking at the prices at all!

I now understand why email scams do so well...

I'm always careful to use surface post when I get boxes of stuff sent over the Atlantic, as the difference between airmail and surface can be nearly as much as the goods are worth (especially as you pay VAT on it).

I was nevertheless very pleased a few years ago to find a package had arrived. Gosh, I thought, I wasn't expecting that to arrive for *weeks*... oh, wait...

Complaining to the vendor didn't cross my mind, though :-)

Little green chickens?

People are stupid. Sadly, the stupider the person, the more likely it is that their stupidity is All Someone Else's Fault and that Something Should Be Done.

But, little green chickens?

I don't see why the name of little green chickens can't be a swear. :-p

If however you are asking why nolgc rather than anything else, I'm afraid I can't help you. That's the sort of thing my brain generates without consulting me.
