This is a great list of “what not to do”. Too bad there are some businesses who commit some of the things in this list. I really wonder why that is.
Awesome one.. Thankgod.. Haven’t been through so much.. But its too cruel to do all this.. Hehe..
So true Ashvini! I have experienced with most of them especially the 5th point. I continued receiving mails by a company even after I have unsubscribed to them. Anyway I like your humor on your post. Keep writing :)
That is really bad. I hope they learn from it that you are not happy with them and stop spamming. THanks for your comments.
Hi Ashvini,
I think most of us have experienced most if not all of the situations you mentioned. How about the products or services that make it very difficult to find customer service and when you do finally find it, they provide little or no support.
Enjoyed reading your post. :-)
Hi Robert,
You are most welcome to my blog and glad that you liked my post.
Thanks and regards,
Ashvini
haha…very funny :D But anyways, you have shared it all truth. I too have been through many similar experiences. It never ends :(
I thought I would cross one hundred… ;) But good to stop at twenty. Thanks for comments
