evil unproved

Do companies hermetically seal, say, your new Xbox controllers in nuclear waste-grade packaging just so that you have to utterly mangle it and are thus unlikely to return the item?

Do web sites deliberately require that you enter, say, your alternate phone number just so they can reload the form and surreptitiously turn back on all the "Send me junk mail!" options you'd previously deselected?

Does a women start out relationships by telling you that, say, her parents messed her up by not hugging her enough just so that later, when she's banging her physical therapist, she can say "I warned you?"
