Pharma reps who gets doctors to push drugs people don't actually need.

The people that work for National Debt Relief. They trick vulnerable people who would do anything to get rid of their Credit Card debt into worsening their credit & accumulating even more debt. Absolutely evil.

I was a TruGreen lawn care salesperson slinging toxins that kill bees to elderly people who definitely don't need a two thousand dollar 9-month plan but don't know any better. I felt pretty f*ckin reprehensible
4.
Predatory towing. The scummiest tow truck story I’ve heard was after hurricane sandy.

Here's an example that happens thousands of times every day: You go to the doctor's office because of some pain -- abdominal, knee pain, whatever. Doctor is slightly concerned and says we should check for abnormalities and orders an MRI.

You show up at the imaging place and are told insurance isn't covering it, and without insurance it's $900. Could be f--king cancer, some internal damage, but nope, insurance won't cover a simple imaging.

A company with $250 billion of revenue just can't afford it, even though you are paying them precisely to do this. Who made this medical decision for you? Your doctor, who went through 4 years of medical education and several more of residency, who knows your medical history? Nope. This pencil pusher at their f--king desk made it, based on how much you are likely going to cost for their company.

So, unless you're decently wealthy or just desperate, you don't get to know what's causing your pain because an insurance adjuster thinks you should take an aspirin instead and see how that works because it's cheaper. They are incentivized to NOT pay for your medical care.

Most companies will suffer from making s--tty products or providing poor services, but insurance companies will profit from going against your interests breaking their own rules and hoping you don't call them out or litigate.

Car insurance is better because at least if other drivers are at fault, incentives are aligned and they will fight for you. But to health insurers, your body is always the enemy. It's absolutely insane to me how this is allowed in this day and age.
21.
The people that copyright strike YouTubers, and steal all revenue from them over .0005 seconds of audio.
22.
Any advertiser who doesn't allow you to "Skip Ad" on YouTube.
23.
Paparazzi. There is no justification. None.
24.
Timeshare salespeople
25.
Management who lay off their employees weeks/days before Christmas.F*ck that Better.com CEO.
