Strong case to be made for Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but sadly his list will be shorter than most.

It's bad enough that free-but-important services like Facebook have no customer service as normal people understand it. But being able to do this when money is being exchanged is fucking egregious. QR Code Generator dot com are scumbags, don't get lured in by their 2 week trial period.

It tells me there is no live message or phone support, then restarts the question process.

Asking people to think carefully about using and responding to this technology is great, but of course the problem is the general user does *not* think carefully. 2/4
