Then Amazon saved me.
I do not like Hobby Lobby or Chic-Fil-A.
HL Primary Reason: They refuse to stock Halloween stuff.
CFA Primary Reason: I don't like their food.
Secondary Reason for Both: They use their products and/or business practices to further a religious agenda. I don't mind if you're religious, but do not shove it down my throat.

Not really. I won't buy a brand again if I've got it before and it was a bad product, but never let some moral issue that is out of my control overtake convenience or something that's well made. Me not wearing Nike's isn't going to shut down sweat shops in Malaysia, and me not eating Chick-Fil-A isn't going to change how the owners feel about Gays. I am just depriving myself of comfortable stylish shoes and delicious chicken sandwiches, and while I walk around looking good and being full I hope your sense of self-pride is enough to power your Prius to the nearest Whole Foods.
Walmart - Business practices.
Beats, Monster - Overpriced bull****.
Ryan Air, Easy Jet - Cheap, awful experiences.
Brookstone - Blatantly disregarded Amazon's policies and signed me up for their catalog.
I'll admit I do go to Whole Foods now and then. Their hot food section isn't bad for lunch and they sell a few items I like that aren't easily found elsewhere. (e.g. Genesis Ginger Lemonade)

My favorite thing is seeing them charge $6 more than the regular meat by claiming it's gluten free.

Personally I refuse to buy anything Apple. I use a Macbook Pro for work and while I like it I'd never spend my own money on anything they make, seems like with most things they make you pay 2x the price for something that has half the functionality. No thanks.

i will defend walmart, when i was in PA, the walmart supercenter near me was my grocery store. this doesn't mean it's crap, fresh fruit veggies, a lot of it was implied from local farmers, a deli and a butchers area too with organic chicken, and if i needed to buy jeans and a wii with a ream of paper, wtf!
there was no grocery/supermarket within walking distance, if i didn't buy eggs from walmart, i'd have to buy them from the gas station(wawa) for 2x the price.
if i wanted to drive the next supermarket would have been 12minutes further than the super walmart.
not only that, the super walmart was 24 hours, which is the plus and the downside to the super walmart.
i will never shop at a walmart with more than 10 items b/c they have limited cashiers. and i only shopped at the super walmart during really dead hours, otherwise i'd really be in line for 30mins. if i did shop during peak hours the ppl in line with me were usually moms with shopping carts filled to the brim grocery shopping for the family. one time i saw this mom buy 15 items of baby clothing for 20bucks... yea my kids gonna wear walmart clothes.
my current nj super walmart doesn't have fresh groceries and only aisle items and refridgerated/frozen foods, and they aren't 24 hours, they still have better prices than the bounty of supermarkets near me now tho (whereas i didn't have any b4, now i have over 5 to choose from in a 6minute radius, 7 in 15minutes)
heck i think i had to buy my cable modem from the super walmart cuz the best buy was that sucky.

Grocery stores. Hate 'em. Crowded. Too much light. Produce usually is a week old and shipped from across the country. Most things are value-added, overly packaged, infused with corn or soybeans, unhealthy options. Few products offered in small amounts that could be easily offered in bulk. Few, if any, local food offerings.
Add that includes Whole Foods and their ilk. Overpriced nonsense for clueless people with too much money to burn.

I boycotted Amazon for an entire year. Spent all the money that would have gone to Amazon on eBay and Newegg.
Then I forgave them and went back to using Amazon. I think Amazon loses money on shipping to me with my Prime membership. ;)
Volkswagen, and because they are just even more expensive ass VWs, Audi (and at least some models of Porsche, but that is completely out of my price range).
I owned a VW once, a Jetta, and it was a complete nightmare. I didn't even drive it for the last year I had it because it would break so often, and I owed too much to make it financially worth me trading it in. I was paying money every month for a car that sat in my driveway until I could get rid of it. They have no right even being in business. They make a **** product, that I can say with 100% certainty.

Nissan.And their cars are ****ing ugly.
They tried to sue the guy who owns nissan.com (his last name is actually Nissan) for $10million. They brought the lawsuit against him in 1999, a full 5 years after he legally purchased the domain. They finally lost the case after a decade of appeals and it cost the guy $2million to defend himself. They tired to sue the guy in to oblivion and it didn't work.
I'll never own one of their cars.

There are plenty of reliable, fuel efficient cars that are not part of the VW/Porsche family. I'll admit I thought VW owned Porsche, not the other way around, but they were already on my would not buy list.
For fuel efficient reliable cars, Honda and Subaru and Toyota spring to mind. I drive a Chrysler and while it might not be the most fuel efficient, it is pretty reliable in my experience. VW's are not a brand I would consider even close to reliable, so it makes no difference how fuel efficient they are if you can't drive the stupid thing. If I recall correctly, they only truly fuel efficient vehicles from VW were the turbo diesels anyway, but it has been a while since I checked into it.

There are even some places where you can get 102 Octane. High Octane improves fuel efficiency (http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motoring/high-octane-equals-better-mpg#). But mostly with engines that have high compression, electronic ignition, a turbo and a modern chip.
Then again, fuel prices are a bit higher, so fuel efficiency gets more important. :P
Think $8.88 per gallon (http://www.brandstofprijzen.info/) for regular 95 octane.
Yeah really. But Dutch fuel is pretty expensive. So is the road tax. It happens in a crowded country.WHOA Really!? Yeah here it drops to 85 Octane. 92 is a common high octane. 93 is a bit more rare. I've seen 110 at places. Got it once but had to run seafoam after to clear my Mini Cooper out. :P But damn did it smell AMAZING for a month! hahaAnother reason I am glad I drive Honda > The european card I used to drive. 87 octane instead of 93 octane.

What do you mean seafoam?
Sony. I won't buy anything from them.
I came into some cash, bought a really nice Sony laptop, and because I was travelling, two real sony batteries at great cost ($240 each in 2002). The laptop got smashed about 8 months later and I stayed Sony and bought the slightly newer model because I had the batteries to use. But they put a peg into the battery slot and a groove into the newer battery to stop you putting the older batteries into the newer laptop, the actual shape and specs were otherwise identical. I hacked the grooves into the old battery cases and they worked fine, but it was a ****ty thing for them to do. It allowed backwards battery compatability but prohibited forwards even though it existed.
Pure evil-minded profiteering scam to make their old stuff artificially obsolete, and mark of an untrustworthy company. I dare say other laptop companies create similar obsolescence but this was just blatant.

Barnes and Noble.
A while back, when the HP tablets were going on fire sale, after consideration, I decided I wanted to pick one up and dual boot Android on it. B&N claimed they had them for sale. I ordered. They charged my cc, and sent out shipping notices to people. Then, after some time passed, they sent emails saying they didn't have any to sell, and I had to spend time waiting for them to reverse the charge. Stupid. Don't you have a proper ****ing online inventory? ****s. And ever since then, I never went back.
Sad, because I love books, and at that time, Borders had got taken over, so B&N was it around me. Then Amazon saved me.
I mean for ****s sake, look at the iPhone 5 charger...

ffs the dude's name was adolfHey! Don't dis the name Adolf. Several Swedish kings were named Adolf. If you dis "Adolf", you dis my country.
Good points... didn't think of that aspect. All I know is every time someone is like "hey anyone got an iPhone charger?" and I'm like "I do if it isn't an iPhone 5."Doesn't Apple do the same thing all the time?

That was a poor example. It was about time they moved away from the 30 pin connector. It was introduced with the 3rd generation iPod back in 2003. That's a run of 9 years before it got obsoleted.

The reason Apple came out with non-directional connectors is because their users are too stupid to pay attention to how something goes in. But that's their mantra: don't let the user choose anything, and charge them extra to choose for them.
My only beef with the lightning connector when it came out is that it made all your docks and stuff useless... UNLESS you bought an adapter for the low price of 30 bucks!
Couldnt even be bothered to include it for people that dont **** out money.

Do you really mean this? I would be ecstatic if all connectors were non-directional. Do you really think that improving something means their user base is dumb? What about the magnetic power connectors? Since when did innovation become a bad thing? :rolleyes:
If you have something against them as a company, that's fine, but I can hardly agree that this change is in any way related.
