Does anyone else hold grudges against big companies?

Ex: I refuse to buy fuel from BP

I also will not eat at TGI Fridays after a terrible experience where the manger basically refused to fix a minor issue and ended up losing her cool. I had to call corporate and complain on a shitty manager who legit seemed to be on coke or something. I now associate them with her.

Grudges due to disagreeing with their practices or grudges due to them just being shitty?

I think the Papa Johns guy is a shithead so I don't order from them.

I think Pizza Hut and Little Caesars are disgusting so I don't order from them.

Your papa johns example is kinda what I mean. As in, for one reason or another you choose not to do business somewhere, whether it be over something major (BP) or something trivial

I have an older colleague who refuses to ever get some certain credit card because they denied him when he was 18 or something

I have family that will not buy Heinz products b/c they disliked John Kerry so much. Felt like buying those products indirectly supported his campaigns and still refuse to buy them.

Comcast. They were charging me for channels for months thatI never ordered and did not receive. When I called customer service I was told that it wasn't their fault that I didn't notice earlier and would not credit me back the money they overcharged me. So I cancelled their service and they immediately put me in collections to dent my credit.
