I have too many bikes, but I like bike shopping so sometimes I find used bikes for strangers on Reddit. It's a weird hobby admittedly.

The #telco monopoly in Canada is disgusting. I'm looking for a new plan & say I want 6GB and unlimited talk & text. Check out @koodo $45. @PublicMobile $45... How about @VirginPlus huh, $45. Ok @Fidomobile has gotta have a deal, wait $45 too? Just egregiously anti-competitive.

Hey @FreedomMobile what kind of Mickey mouse operation are you running where your agents can't even tell me which of your stores have a particular device in stock? It's like your actively want to lose me as a customer.

Wow, seriously @AirCanada an hour and a half on the phone just to change a flight? I'm embarrassed for you and significantly less likely to book through you next time.

Its such absolute, indefensible garbage that despite the fact I pay good money for their "fibre" internet, @Telus still throttles my connection to @YouTube. #TheFutureIsNotFriendly.

Seriously disturbed by @WayfairCanada and their anti-consumer practices. Made my first and only purchase from their site and minutes later get a robocall trying to upgrade me to some "professional" program or other such nonsense. Did not opt in and definitely didn't want the call

Hey @grousemountain @Cypressmtn @Mt_Seymour you are now in a race to be the first to build one of these things. Whatever it costs you'll pay it back in no time, and with climate change coming y'all going to need to diversify the ol' revenue streams anyway.

Hey @CineplexMovies 12 minutes of commercials before the movie is a great way to make me never want to come to the cinema ever again.

I've come to the realization that I use Twitter primarily for complaining. Which is makes sense to me at least, as in terms of #socialmediamarketing I've always viewed it as primarily a customer support channel.

#Amazon reviews are beyond useless these days. Vast majority of reviews are fake for most products. I mean how is literally every cheap phone case a 4.5 out of 5? Amazon needs to fix this nonsense ASAP.

Has anyone ever called customer support and been told they're experiencing a lower than usual call volume? If you're always experiencing a higher than normal that volume is normal.

Seriously @uhaul I really didn't want to click through 5 pages of you trying to upsell me crap I don't need just to rent a trailer. Your anti-customer experience is really not improving my perception of your brand. Will look elsewhere next time I need to book something.

A #WorldCupFinal musing; the expected value of a handball foul inside the 18 yard box is 0.75 goals. This seams high to me for a sport where the average game is won by a single goal. #WorldCup

So not being able to see user feeds has sure made @latermedia a whole hell of a lot less useful. Shame they couldn't sort things out with @instagram to maintain that critical functionality.

The "Global Shipping Program" from @eBay is such a joke. My order has just been sitting in their warehouse for 4 days now. Real valuable "Service" you're providing here.

Hey @NeweggCan I placed an order Aug 16th, and my item still hasn't even shipped. Waiting 8 days to ship an order is flat out unacceptable.

And now after I had to call you, I'm being told its going to be at least another half hour. Over an hour and half for a pizza when I live 4 blocks away is ABSURD. @PizzaGardenCa

Wow, over an hour and still no delivery from @PizzaGardenCa even though I live less than four blocks away. Ridiculous.

It feels like more like the big tech companies are optimizing for "not having to deal with people" vs "Customer satisfaction." Monopoly power in action I guess.
