 [gas-theeving]

noun

1. the use of psychological manipulation to undermine a traveler's faith in in their own belief that they should get a refund when they cancel something very far in advance, and then throwing up every possible barrier to recouping the deserved refund until the traveler just gives up and becomes resigned to the fact that a large corporation to whom $200 means nothing has stolen your very precious $200 that could actually buy your weekly groceries (or at least, a carton of eggs)
