It’s holiday season!
The season of giving is well underway, which also means the season of returning those gifts is well underway also!
According to the National Retail Federation, 70% of consumers plan to hit stores the week following Christmas, with one major reason being for gift returns or exchanges. Here's how long you have to exchange or return for these local major retailers 👀https://t.co/bgvZ5f7xc9 pic.twitter.com/sL97iBhO2Y

That is apparently the origin story for this viral video that’s been making the rounds lately.
A guy in Utah bought a used car last week, then went back to the dealership the same day and accused them of selling him a lemon. When he didn’t get the refund he wanted, he decided to return the vehicle the hard way - through the window.
@realmikekogan When my car doesn’t run properly, I simply take it back to the dealership where I bought it - and if they refuse to accept it, I drive it right through their front window! But that’s me. Is there a better way to handle a situation like this? The ability to control your emotions, your impulses, even your anger is perhaps the most valuable commodity a person can possess or develop. When it comes to emotional regulation, are you truly the master of your domain? #emotions #emotionalregulation #emotionalintelligence #angermanagement #anger #angerissues #masterofyourdomain #princetonmondset #restraint #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth

The manager of the dealership gave an interview about it to Inside Edition, as did Michael Murray - the man that crashed the car - because of course they would...
According to the police, the investigation revealed more than $5,000 to the building and to a different car on the sales floor. Police said the estimated cost of damage is around $10,000.
Murray has been charged with one count of felony criminal mischief, one count of Class A misdemeanor reckless endangerment and one count of Class A misdemeanor economic interruption.
