Times you said "f*** this company" & actually meant it.

[CM Dazz]

We see it all the time in the WWE section, & 95% of the time that person is back the following week. Let's talk about "f*** this company" from a non WWE perspective though.

I got a text from a buddy saying he was done with the NFL. I laughed & told him I'd see him on opening day. Hell, I said it about T-Mobile, & yet I'm still a customer. I know for a fact though I've said it at least twice in the past & actually followed through though.

One of those times was Comcast. The day I called to cancel was one of the greatest days of my life. Their actual service was terrible & so was their customer service. Either my cable or my internet would go out every single week, & they just didn't care. Seriously, f*** that company!

My other example is the Chicago Tribune. I HATED how they ran the Cubs, & refused to buy a single newspaper. I was actually offered a free one year subscription, but I turned it down, because f*** that company!


So FAN, when have you said "f*** this company" & actually meant it? Feel free to share times you failed to follow through as well!

Joe Flacco signed an endorsement deal with Haribo a while back; I haven't bought a Haribo product since. Do they care? Oh, f*** no, but I hate Flacco so much that I refuse to give them any of my money.

Ryanair, fed up with those f***ing rip off merchants

If I have to fly to Ireland. Aer Lingus all the way, I don't care if I have to pay more.

WWE - from 2001-2007
DC Comics: After the "death of superman" storyline.
Marvel: circa 1998. They stole me back with Superior Foes though.

And probably a host of other companies whose products I've phased out of my life for various ethical reasons.

Kickstarter after they said they "couldn't" (translation: wouldn't) to do anything about the pick-up date rape guide, then as soon as the guy got his money came out with that bullshit apology that basically said "Yeah, we guess maybe we could and should have done something about it...but we chose not to. Please like us again"

2K sports. They release NBA every year with 250 bugs and glitches and half of the modes are unplayable. I said f*** it after 2K11 came out and haven't bought a game from them since.

Any time I feel tempted to get a new edition of the game I just open Operation Sports forums and read how Association makes no sense, Online Leagues don't work and drop, check peoples disappointment (depression) on current gen/next gen... and the temptation is gone.

Exception: I got WWE 2K14 as a digital download gift this Christmas and downloaded it (obviously, who would turn down a free game). I played it twice and that was it. The game is the same mess as when it was released by THQ (another company I ignored for longest time because of crappy WWE games).

The Boston Red Sox from October 2011 through August 2012.

Everything they did was indefensible and arrogant. From the fried chicken and beer fiasco to Adrian Gonzalez whining about playing getaway night games and saying it was "God's plan" for them to gag away a playoff spot by going 7-20 in September 2011, to bringing essentially the entire team back in 2012, despite it being so clearly obvious that clubhouse ringleaders like Fat Josh Beckett and Kevin Youkilis needed to go, to hiring Bobby Valentine, the most doomed-to-fail hire in sports history, to promoting Fenway Park's 100th anniversary over trying to put a competent, likable team on the field in 2012.

I actively rooted for them to lose and rooted for them to fail, because that was the only way they were going to purge the clubhouse and hopefully have ownership acknowledge the folly of their ways.

Then, like a bright shining light in the darkest hour, along comes Magic Johnson to give the Red Sox a bailout, taking three overpaid primadonnas in Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Beckett, in exchange for a handful of prospects. On that August day, everything changed, and changed for the better.

That was me with Cubs from the end of '03 till they fired Dusty, & again from the end '08 till they hired Theo.

Apple, the forced us to use apple computers at school and it was so painful that i swore of them for life.
ive never owned a ipod, iphone or used itunes, they can all f*** off

[shaker]

Heinz. Laid off thousands and closed factories across the US. Then had a 4 million dollar fart joke commercial months later. Screw them.

I avoid Rexall pharmacies like the plague and avoid buying Oilers gear. I decided to not watch any games of then anymore on my TV unless something special is happening.

[Bub (BLM)]

20th Century Fox after X-Men 3. I haven't paid to see one of their films since.

[Legion]

DC when they rebooted to the New 52.

[Banecat]

Every retail job I have ever walked off of (seven or eight).

Virgin. They screwed me on a mobile contract so I cancelled my mobile and my tv and anytime they come up I go on a big rant about them

How I did not do it after that Chiefs VS Colts playoff game is a miracle.

I had a similar thing with Apple back in 2001 or 2002. I got on iTunes and bought some albums and stuff. Then got a non-apple mp3 player as a gift, but had to jump through eleventy-hundred hoops to put anything I bought on iTunes on it.

After that I haven't really messed with iTunes since. Not saying its not a good service, but I just don't like the "we don't play well with other" attitude their product line has. So I get all my music from AmazonMp3, BandCamp or just direct from the musician.

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

Microsoft, or at least its gaming division. I'm never buying an XBone or any other game from/for them again.
