    plasticland.com - i saw an ad on the internets & thought these legwarmers would be cute for dancing in. 2 months later, nothing in the mail, even though they claim they shipped my order. they won't return my emails either.

    superhooper.org - reeeally shitty quality LED hoops for a lot of money. mine broke within a week. they are designed poorly & not "professional" hoops as they claim they are. granted, i hoop really fast & the thing was extremely heavy, but if it breaks within a week with no mistreatment other than hooping on my waist, shouldn't i get some kind of compensation?

    When I moved to LA, it wasn't so much Santa Monica, where I live, but everywhere else, chain restaurants were just everywhere!! And artists that I met didn't feel ashamed of eating in those shit holes!

    I get physically affected in a negative way when I have to walk into one of those places.
    I think big corporate overtaking is just sad in general...small local businesses, especially restaurants, help give a city its own unique flavor (no pun intended ) Why are people so quick to throw that away for cheap crap at a big-box chain mess?

    Red Robin- When I was like 12 I went there with my mom and ordered a hamburger and he asked how I wanted my meat cooked and I said "well done". He then start sexually harassing me over it by saying things like "are you sure you don't want a little pink in it, a little pink is reeeeeaaallly good. I love pink." and winking and doing "sexy" perv gestures with his mouth. My mom was like WTF get away, she's 12!!! I can't go there now because I remember that and it just really skives me out.

    I also hate places like chilies. Like big name restaurants. Their menus only have like 12 things to choose from and usually nothing I want is on there. Like I literally would rather just not eat. I need lots of variety.

    Subway Sandwiches. I used to like their sandwiches and I thought it was a healthy fast food option but it only took one time for me to get just a shitty, disgusting sandwich and I've never been back!

    Hartz (pet supply). I gave my kitten some hairball remedy and he gagged for three days.

    ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

    Poor kitty! I was using Hartz for flea protection and it didn't work. My vet recommends Frontline or Advantage only. I switched and a couple of months later, took Pantara in to get bathed and groomed. Guess what? No fleas

    And no more Hartz.

    Mother effing PAYPAL and BANK of AMERICA. HATE those a*holes.

    I had an account with Paypal for a year and a half and have been with B of A for about 5 years. Last summer, I had my own apartment and was not dancing so I did *not* have much money ... most everything I made went straight to rent and bills.

    Someone managed to hack into my Paypal account (I still don't know how) which was connected directly to my one and only banking account, which had debit and credit card capabilities. I received emails saying my Payapal account password had been changed and to call customer service if this wasn't authorized - I literally called within 5 minutes of this happening to try to prevent anyone from f*ing with my money. I didn't get through to a REAL person so I was forced to leave a message. I then did the same thing with B of A so they could keep an eye out for any suspicious activity on my account and hopefully block it. Same deal. No person, just a message center.

    I'm literally sitting at home logged into my online banking and refreshing the page every few minutes to see what happens in my bank account and lo and behold within 20 minutes, some a*hole in CHINA had taken $900 out of my checking account and sent it to himself through Paypal!! I didn't even have that much in there to begin with, but stupid B of A let the transaction go through anyways and then charged me exorbitant OVERDRAFT fees!

    Long story short, rent was due in a week, I was now broke because they had allowed my money to be sent to a foreign country, and Paypal claimed it was not their problem - I needed to fix it with my bank, while B of A insisted they could not fix it without Paypal refunding my money. It literally took three weeks to get my money back and then B of A charged ME to get a new debit/credit card and new checks! Needless to say, I promptly CANCELLED my Paypal account and sent them scathing emails.

    Med Mexico. Everytime I've ordered from them I've had to report a lost/stolen card.

    Chain restaurants. I dont' even consider them as places that serve food.

    I used to work for Benefit as a Beauty Artist.
    I've used the products and seen the effects on myself and other women alike.

    Benefit does have "cute" and "witty" packaging, unfortunately, most of their time and thinking goes into the packaging and naming of the product instead of the actual formulations and ingredients.....

    When you walk up to the Benefit counter & ask about ingredients, the girls (or guy) will give you some witty saying or blah, but believe me... they were just trained to memorize that.

    Benefit Skincare is a NO! Do not use any of that on your face, it's poorly formulated and on 90% of my customers who used said products, caused excessive dryness and even rashes.

    You may like all the uneccesary packaging and hoopla, but personally I believe a cosmetic line should be more focused on what's INSIDE the package then the outside. =/

    &&& They stiffed me on my last two commission checks. Hate them.

    I also don't like Proctor and Gamble, for personal reasons. My grandfather invented two of their most profitable products: they stole them from him, many years ago, then settled with him out of court for a little over $40,000. They probably make that on these products daily.

    Ewwwww I hate Red Robin too. They are just WAYYYYY too overpriced in my opinion. My bf and I ate there last week, he got a burger and a sprite or something, and I got a BLT and a water. That's it. Our bill was almost THIRTY DOLLARS. Plus, our waitress was slow as hell even though it wasn't busy.
    I also hate subway, but I think it's more of the customers that go in there than actual subway itself. I hate being behind the idiot soccer mom that wants like 10 different subs, each with 5 tomatoes, 7 olives, and god forbid if the lettuce has a little brown spot on it.
    And maybe I'm alone, but I have had the WORST luck with Apple Ipod's. I've had 3 different models and they always freeze, break, or crack. They cut some songs off in the middle and Itunes always fucks up my computer. And they're expensive as hell, when I pay $300 for something, it damn well better work the way it's supposed to.

    Sprint - despised them. Especially their 'spending limit' bullsh*t. Drove me insane!! I was always over it even if I made a payment.

    TV Maxx - cable company...could only get that one company at one apartment complex I was at. Worst customer service, expensive rates and they keep billing me years later for a cable box they say I never returend (which I did, in person).

    Progressive Insurance - screwed me on a vandalism claim years ago. Refused to pay for fuel injectors (sugar in the gas tank) and some of the labor because it wasn't authorized...even though they did everything before and after that without an issue. Cost me $1200 out of pocket. They may be better now but I refuse to go back to them.

    Gerber Clothing - the onesies to be specific. They shrink unbelievably - you cannot even wash them.

    Coach. Got one used so at least my money didn't go to the company itself but these high end bags are from China. So, hmm, probably not giving the people that make them very much of those hundreds of dollars a bag.

    Wal-Mart. I bought something there recently as a sort of emergency and can't shake the guilt lol.

    Luscious shoes. Break immediately.

    Locally there is a restaurant near her that when we last went to they got my dad's order wrong and then the waiter got all snotty and argued with him about it. Food was bad too. Also I went to a coffee stand today and got something that was supposed to be a doubleshot mocha and it tasted like half of it was water.

    Sally Hansen nail polish. 10 days chip free??? Give me a break!
    Order Avon through my website!
