My hair stylist. She practically damaged my edges,was almost balded and when I complained ,she said ' you sef too carry the hair na' angry. undecided undecided
So I should pay upto 15k for crochet braids and not carry it upto 2 months angry. That was and will be the last time.

'Dm for Price' :I'm never "dming" ,if you can't write the price so I can have an idea before coming to bargain and buy , please carry your wahala and go undecided.

My favorite Isiewu joint cry cry cry. I lost all my love and appetite for Isiewu and Nkwobi the day I saw the Woman using her bare hands to remove insects/lice from her Bingo , she didn't wash her hands when she was through,just wiped it on her clothes and turned to ask me how many I wanted. angry.
Told her to wait let me ask my "Oga" and ran away .

Amala woman used hand to remove meat from my plate because I told her i don't eat beef ,I had to force the rest of the food down my throat...That was the last!!!

Some many instances!.Especially food vendors should keep their environments and self as neat as possible.

Any rude customer service,:It's either I follow up the madness or I just walk away depending on my mood and that will be the last.

FCMB. Terrible bank. Awful service and customer service. Shoddy platforms and thankfully there are much better options.

My sister. You are not alone. I have had an experience just like that. The lack of apology was an insult.

The one I had to boycott was still another hairdresser that kept cancelling me last min upanddan. I would even manage her ever increasing prices. She had been doing my hair since I was 6 so familiarity was really doing her.

I know say she shock when I never call her phone again.

I work with two good looking guys on my team, because I am their team lead .They always have a way of making me buy them breakfast at our popular hot buka joint .

When we get to this joint the female waiters always find a way to flirt and roll all their body for my male colleagues. Sometimes I even have to beg them to take my order because they get carried away in their flirting activities. They don't know that on this table of three I am the moneybag when it comes to that breakfast.

I had to boycott that buka joint because the same thing kept repeating itself.I cannot come and be begging on top my own hard earned money.







This is funny. grin cheesy cheesy cheesy

No vex ma. They didn’t know.

This barber was barbing nonsense for me but I kept patronizing just on the basis of customer, not until one day when his clipper nearly cut my head and this guy had the guts to tell me in Yoruba that I'm a coward/fearful. I just kept my cool and resolved never no to go there again. It's been almost two years I last visited him but we see and greet almost everyday.

Fanta Don Cool ooo!





And that was it.





There was this shop very close to our own shop when I was an apprentice. I used to go there every afternoon to buy Fanta. Lunch without fanta was always incomplete.


So I was just passing my own jejely with a friend on this particular day when the shop owner called out from inside.


"Dogo Fanta don cool oo"




I smiled and I said okay but inside I was like "eeh! So unah don take Fanta know me?"

That was the last they saw me.



ANOTHER ONE


That's means you are tall grin

There was a restaurant that I used patronize on days that I don't feel like cooking. I will just stop by to buy food and take home after closing from shop.

The waitresses there have this annoying habit of asking make I keep the change. I got tired of saying NO and stopped going there

No o.
He probably still doesn't know why I stopped patronizing him. He got away with so many unprofessional attitudes, so it would be difficult for him to know which one of them stopped me from coming.

Funny as it sounds, some vendors are snobs.

You need business but you’re acting like you’re doing your new customers a favour. A local food vendor used to give me such vibes and one day I had had enough. I waited patiently until she deigned to give me my change and then I left and never returned.

Her food is delicious but her attitude is sh!t.

Debonair's pizza. They used to offer free delivery but the delivery man was always late, like 3 -4 hrs late. By that time, i would have ordered something else for my visitors and it was always the same guy. And the distance from my place to the outlet was not far.

One say i vexed, ordered a pizza, the same delivery guy took 6hours to deliver the pizza, when he finally came,he kept giving me excuses. I just took the pizza without paying and told him to go. Because it was thier promise that if thier pizza was already cold and the red circle gone black, i could get the pizza free.

Another business i boycotted was MTN, can never use thier sim again

Have you ever had to boycott a business? What made you take that decision?
Dominos is just over hyped. Their pizza is crap....wait till you eat proper pizza to realise how long you have been shortchanged by dominos.
Their ice cream too is overpriced.
Whipping cream+ Milo+ *Hollandia liquid milk(3.5% fat)+ condensed milk+ dried coconut+crushed biscuit base( digestive/ Oates....etc)+ electric mixer. With this combo, you cannot enter Dominos again.
Thank me later

Thank you!

Dominos is wack pizza. It's better you make it yourself at home. You would think a foreign brand would be better, but apparently, once in Nigeria you must become a Nigerian. Substandard pizza.

I boycott anyone that tells me "DM for price". I nor dey do secret cult business.

Anytime I see "DM for price", my brain interprets it as SCAM. If you're not offering a service, then your price should be stated.

Reason for that is because prices changes from time to time....and someone will refer to that price you made public in the comment section or in a post in the past and call you a scam for giving them another price...and you can't go deleting or editing every reply you made with the newest price it will look like a criminal act because at some point you won't be able to edite all of them and it's tiring...

So to save your self and the buyer explanations that might lead to insults...you left the enquirers Prices in their inbox

Then some sellers say inbox me so they will know you're a serious buyer but I think the seller is lazy on this part because serious buyer or not he didn't need to inbox you....its your responsibility to tell him the price yourself in the inbox provided he made an enquiry to know more
