I don't take kindly to being told my friend's death is due to me not being a member of your church.

Pretty bold generalization. I could understand if you said "XYZ Baptist Church".


I only have one that is an absolute no go. Boomerang Diner in Ada. Sat at the table and watched 4 orders after mine go out. I walked to the counter to inquire about the status of my food and was told "It'll be out when it's out." So then I asked for a to go cup of sweet tea and left. Haven't been back and will not go back.

BTDT ... never been so angry in my life. Assembly of God "minister" told my No.1 Son and his wife that the triplets were God's curse on them for their sinful ways. I heard through the grapevine later that he went home and prayed that he'd never cross my path again ... thought that was particularly amusing because the several strangers sitting in the waiting room with all of us told me they thought I'd gone easy on him ...

Babies, no matter what circumstance brought them here, are blessings. You'd think that the more religious of us would realize that ...

First impressions and everything. I failed to ask what particular church he ministered at, I was pretty upset being 13 and having just watched my friend pass. ******* pulled me into the hallway and gave me the "come to Jesus" talk.

Understandable.

Takes a lot for me to swear something off.

Mintner and Sons heating and air - Will NEVER do business with them again. took 4 visits to get our A/C fixed, they vented 12lbs of R-12 freon out of our system and into the atmosphere then charged $100 per lb for replacement freon (18lbs) when they could have captured what we had left - if course they didn't tell us this until AFTER our freon was long gone, and we "HAD" to buy theirs. They Charged us $250 for a valve that I later found online for $60, and in the end we found out the final bill included 4 "tech visit" fees (4 @ 65), even though it was THEIR fault they couldn't get it fixed. They charged us an "equipment usage fee" of $300, a consumables fee of $85, a surcharge because we were so far away from their business, and a $100 fee to schedule a visit on Saturday.

And it all started because we had them come out and do a pre-summer inspection and cleaning. The minute the guy saw that the A/C wasn't blowing cold enough (first thing he did) he stopped the maintenance process. Nothing got cleaned or inspected. Think they still charged us the $100 to come out? you bet they did!

So, in all we spend $2500 because they couldn't get their crap together. I called up there and talk to David Minter and told him where he could shove his business. Totally wiped out our emergency fund when it should have cost no more than $500. I would have done it myself had I had access to R-12. Still gets me stark raving mad thinking about how they essentially held our A/C unit for ransom just as the summer was heating up.

Wendy's-Havent been there since they starting using that Arrogant man hating chick for their commercials.. She drives me crazy always making people feel bad for their choices. Ok so maybe Wendy's is a better choice than what I picked but dont make me feel bad for it.

sucks too because I really like Frostys

No, but there's at least one that's sworn off serving me.

I have along list of bars and restaurants I won't go to of my own volition. Being part of a group, or whisked away for a work function will break my streak, unfortunately.
