AT&T, charged me $45 bucks for a collect call to home that was under 3 minutes in 1997. I never paid the bill and will never do business with them again.


shite that's nearly 30 years. Impressive.

I must of been in my early 20's i went to this lawn mower shop to get a gasket for the lawn mower. I'm expecting this gasket to be about $1-$2. I get to counter he said $7 and change. I paid it and walked out that store and was mad like a mofo at that price. I said i will never walk in that store ever again and i didn't. Store closed down and i see the guy who owned the store and who waited on me on facebook and around town every so often. Every time i see him i think back to that $7 gasket and i just boil over. This was like 30 years ago and i still get mad when i see him

Cox cable. I turned on 3 boxes to the tech. The tech didn't turn them in. So they sent it to collections. Being a puss about collections i paid. It was like $600.


I wish i could boycott the DMV they hit be for thousands in fines over some technicalities.

Most of mine stem from COVID era gay capitulation so about 4-5 years. Budlight and Goodyear are the two that most stick out.

Chevron going on about 30 years for me. And I buy a lot of gas.

I have zero concern that I have affected Chevron at all, but it makes me feel so good every time I pass them up.

Home Depot. After loading my contractors truck with $15,000 in supplies for a renovation job they refused to take a business check. I told them over the phone to call and confirm with my bank but they refused. I had my contractor dump their shite in the middle of the parking lot and I refuse to enter their store.

They did the same shite to me. I asked for a receipt when I turned it in and the fat bitch said they didn’t do receipts but she already scanned it in so I was good. Got a call a couple of months later from a collection agency asking for my social security number.

Called cox customer service and of course got the same song and dance “there’s no record, blah, blah, blah” which pissed me off. Found someone on LinkedIn from the corporate office and called them after a number of calls with CS and chewed the poor corporate girls arse out, but she was really apologetic and had it recalled from collections.

It was $80 and I probably spent 10 hours on the phone, but frick em it pissed me off

One of their employees accused me of stealing a cookie. I went there pretty often because it was cheap and much better than Subway. Obviously I could afford it. I told her to go frick herself and left. It was the location on Burbank next to Walk On's.

Subway. Once they cracked the $12 mark, I was out, and mad about it.
Pizza Hut. Changed the dough recipe.

Yeah, my wife bought some Phish Food and put it in our freezer. I threw that shite out. She never asked about it, either.

Gillette, that woke crap was so abysmal and infuriating to watch. They could give their stuff away and I’d throw it in the garbage.

French Market in Natchitoches. The guy that runs it, not his mom though, is a complete moron and A-hole.

Carl's Jr. I moved to L.A. in the 90's and ate there a few times. Then they had these commercials that started coming on with people chewing all sloppy and of course they made the exaggerated sounds of this slop fest. I never ate there again and made sure to mute the TV as soon as their cocksucking commercials came on
