Called our insurance company and was advised our policy would cover a rental truck up to 10,000 lbs. When we picked up the truck we asked the agent (employee: DELPB) did the truck weigh over 10,000 lbs. He said in front of my daughter that "a little UNDER 10,000." Therefore, we did not take out the Budget's liability insurance because we were covered under our policy. The driver had an...
I am terribly disappointed in the service I have received from Grava Chrysler & Jeep specifically from Joe (white haired old man) in Service. After speaking with him several times (over the course of a month) about my 2005 PT Cruiser and the error codes (P0340 - cam shaft sensor) that showed up on the odometer, the old man forgot about prior conversations and got caught in a web of lies!

A 14 month old toddler was cremated against his family's wishes and religious beliefs, while another family's 22 day old baby was buried in the place of the other boy. It's truly a mind-boggling, disrespectful, and fearsome mix-up that has resulted in over $68,000 awarded to both families;...
Late last month, a journalist posted a story on the MSBNC website about the InterContinental Hotels Group and their underpaid snore-Nazis. These radical snore mongers are in charge of enforcing the "quiet zones" in their hotels, and throwing people out of the "quiet zones" that start to snore.
If someone woke me up while traveling in Europe to tell me to shut up, I would Franz Ferdinand their...
For a child friendly company I certainy hope that Disney will take a look at the results of paying Casey Anthony, her Attorneys, the Jurors, or the Anthony family via "licencing fees". Are we now so depraved that we reward these people? Who cares if these people judged Casey Anthony not guilty of murder, at the least did not report her chid missing or dead for 31 days while she partied like a...

I recently took a short trip to New York to visit friends. Since gas prices are so outrageously high, and plane tickets are out of my current price range, I traveled to The Big Apple from Richmond, VA via the Chinatown bus. The bus system is famous, and widely used because of their extremely low ticket rates. Being a company represented and endorsed by the fine state of New York, I expected the...

I have heard some real horror stories about PayPal and their money-handling services, and I have come to the conclusion that they are an awful company. They have extended their services all over the internet, and are ripping people off left and right. It's despicable, and there is no excuse for it!
On the other hand, I guess that's what people get for trusting their money so willingly online....

A group of Academics have decided that we should stop calling our dogs and cats pets and instead call them "companion animals". The Journal of Animal Ethics have decided it is derogatory to refer to our pets as "Pets" and that the term "Pets" could effect the way they behave.

Everyone is talking about this ridiculous Redbox deal. For those who do not know what Redbox is it is those kiosk machines you see in the grocery store with DVD for rent. Who cares if they are running a special, the hassle of leaving the house getting the video watching it at home and than returning back to the kiosk seems ancient.
I assume they are running this special because the Oscars are...
UGG, I made the mistake of hiring this 'photographer' and his 'assistant'. I paid a little over a $1000 for him and his assistant. His assistant is his wife.

So here we are we just had this gorgeous wedding at a beautiful resort on the beach and not a single photo to...

LabCorp is a corporation based around the utilization of lab related fees and results direct from doctors offices around America. When I went to the doctor for a thyroid problem in November of 2010, I was overjoyed that I wouldn't have to pay the lab fees until the following month; but that excitement was short-lived. It seems that upon completion of lab test results, the billing begins; and it's...

They got everyone in the plane and closed the door and began taxing towards the...
