Never. Usually they ask why I'm returning it, and I just decide how literally true I want my answer to be, and that's that. I try to return it before the deadline, though, and I ask what the terms are at the time of purchase. Sometimes stores will let you return stuff later than the deadline, anyway.

In that case how is it "abuse"? Are you speaking of your intent?

Because there is an unspoken understanding, that michaelcurzi is clearly aware of, that a no-questions-asked returns policy is intended for cases where the buyer found the item unsuitable in some way, rather than to provide free temporary use of their stuff.
