Some resentments fade with time. Others… stick around like a family heirloom. One day a company “misplaces” your order, turns a basic return into a scavenger hunt, or slaps on a fee they swear was totally disclosed—and suddenly you’re on year 12 of refusing to buy so much as a pack of gum from them. The line’s been crossed, and it’s not getting uncrossed.
Redditors marianneouioui and istrx13 recently asked people to share which businesses they’re stubbornly boycotting and won’t spend another dime at after getting screwed over, and their responses are hilariously personal. Spoilers: more than a few of these grudges are old enough to vote. Read them below.

Southwest Airlines. And I think anyone who was part of their multi-day network crash on Christmas of 2022 would agree.
They have made the boycott very easy by getting rid of all the policies that made them appealing in the first place.

Autozone. Had issues with their parts, then sales, and then customer service. Bunch of know-nothing jerks cosplaying as mechanics. Very corporate shill energy. And again, bad parts that are not worth it.

Hechingers sold me a tape measure with a lifetime warranty. When it broke they were no longer in business. I’ll never shop there again.

My dad has been boycotting Ford for 50 years because of the Pinto. He won't even rent one.

Jimmy John’s. I ordered a #16 Club Lulu with chips and a coke. No chips or coke came and the sandwich was literally mayo and lettuce - Nothing else. I was so mad I called them to get a refund and they refused. I have never gone back after they did this to me and never will!!!

Crumbl cookies. Aside from being like 4 days of calories in one cookie. Back in 2020 I saw an AMA with their VP of HR answering why they seemed “understaffed in an area” and they blamed it on all their competitors paying above market value wages, and them wanting only people passionate about their brand. That was followed by them posting a huge party on social media during lockdowns, and the “cookie wars” where they tried to sue their competitors for also using “square boxes” among other things.

I received the wrong sandwich at Arby’s when I was about 5. It’s been 30 years and I refuse to let that go.
