It's funny how so many of the articles are hyper-specific grievances, e.g.:
https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Bose_QuietComfort_Sleepbuds_do...
https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Tyre_warranty_sold_via_mobile_...
And there's also https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Mr._Clinton_the_cat

On the Bose one:
Consider if your laptop was paired to it's specific charger and would refuse to charge with any other cable or charger. Lose or break your charger and suddenly your $2000+ laptop is irreparable.
That seems obviously stupid, right? And the sort of thing that ought to be illegal? Well, the headphones are the same, just with a different looking charging cable.

Each one is a bit funny in isolation, and it's also true that the most common feedback is always unhappy feedback, but every company looking for another vein to tap for sustenance hopes observers will write off their particular incision as hyper-specific. Besides providing a place to check before doing business with a company, the Consumer Rights Wiki is about making the cumulative effect of a thousand hyper-specific cuts harder to ignore.
