Products / companies with which you're fed-up?

I'm getting pretty CRUNCH fed up with CRUNCH food ads that CRUNCH use eating CRUNCH noises. Those are so annoying.

Weight-loss products of any type. Weight loss pills in particular. I walk past that garbage whenever I go into Shoppers now. The last weight loss pills that I took in early January interacted with my psych meds and I fell off my rocker for a few weeks. I've also fried my England neuron with those pills.

apple. hey guys, let's remove basically every essential part of a computer and sell them as accessories at stupidly inflated prices just to make our stuff even MORE stupidly thin!

reject all third party chargers! can't work reliably with this iphone? don't even try!

i don't find the appeal in superthin laptops or monitors...i prefer my hardware with a beat of "meat" to it. not something that looks...unstable.

someone mentioned the progressive girl, don't care for the ads but i find her pretty cute.

Netflix

Amazon

Wal-Mart

Weight Watchers

Comcast

Hulu

i would not go that far, even knowing my hardware could sustain it, but still quite satisfying to watch. thanks for that!

now subject an iphone 5s or macbook air to the same test or hell, even a playstation 2.

planned obsolescence is a scourge to build quality.

on topic: i am annoyed at nintendo's tendency to manufacture relatively few physical copies of a game and refusing to lower the price for sometimes several years after release, as a result used games from past generations sell for way too much at times.

Not exactly an individual product or company, but I hate psychological pricing.

Over the last years, I've begun to see in a new light many habits most people have which differ starkly from mine, especially in cases in which I once thought mine were unquestionably better. It gradually became clear that more and more of these differences could be explained by social rules I used to be completely blind to, and by many bold everyday strategies to save time and energy I didn't dare to mimic, often making use of knowledge I lacked or didn't trust about the world. Therefore, my odd behavior only shows my dysfunctionality and cowardice.

However, I still can't believe not bothering to learn to round numbers properly pays off. Even people with a scientific or technological background will see "12.9" and register it as "twelve". Naturally, it was inevitable that businesses would exploit this. At least, big modern businesses whose owners can do it without a customer beating them up for trying to kid him, or challenging them to a duel. Nowadays, I suppose you have to do it to remain competitive.

So, when it comes to prices, I've made a habit of reading a number like 4.95 as "five and they're calling me a moron".

Public school significant figures drove me half mad. I guess that's why I ultimately got my GED.
I'm fed up with Samsung, they build missiles. New phone is LG G4 over here, thus far I'm blown away - best camera I've ever had & the other features aren't far behind. The 'meaty' design is supplied by an OtterBox case. The phone's equally powerful next to the i7 lappie I typed this on.

Any company that supports Autism $peaks. ESPECIALLY Toys R Us.

And that's sad, because I've gotten some sweet exclusive collectables from their store. But I've officially decided to boycott them since I may as well be buying cute little plushies that resemble members of the KKK.

I wish we had a Toys R Us in here Sydney, Nova Scotia... so I can plaster rainbow infinity symbols all over their windows!
