Brands you (unreasonably) dislike?

[whatadaytoday]

I was thinking about this tonight as I parked next to a Renault SUV. It’s completely unreasonable but I’ve never liked the brand since someone I know once said ‘it’s like driving a bin on wheels’. Even though I’m sure the brand is perfectly fine (and very popular) it’s stuck in my head. Apologies to all Renault drivers!

I’ve got other brands I unreasonably dislike too but do you have any?

That's the bloody shop I had to navigate to buy our niece something good few years back,it was like a cave.

A family member wears Holland Cooper and I shudder. It really is city attempting to be country and stands out like a sore thumb.

Mines a car brand too…
BMW & Honda… I have absolutely no reason to support this other than I just don’t like them… not being a car snob as I drive a knobbish car 🫣

I've been boycotting Tesco ever since the Dame Shirley Porter 'Homes for Votes' scandal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Porter

lindt is in a massive scandal for lead in their chocolate do not eat it healthier to have Bailey's for breakfast

Yes I like the Superdry clothing I’ve bought too - no logos but decent quality basics.

H&M - it seems normal, until you start looking through the rails and find some of the craziest WTF garments in the high street.

Me too!! Although quite hard to explain to people these days!

Wish it were me !

Laura Ashley. A member of staff was rude to me in their shop once (about 20 years ago) and I swore I would never have anything to do with them ever again 😄

Kipling. Incredibly overpriced and they insist on calling the dangly gorilla a monkey. Fills me with disproportional rage

All expensive sunglasses brands, I just can't take them seriously.

Skoda, it is just a no for me. Toyota Prius

Mango - nothing quite looks right on?

Phase Eight (although they did have a half decent season one year).

Vans - just don't look like they will be good for your feet.

French Connection. I hate the way they think it’s cool to have a logo that “almost but not quite” says fuck.

Primary - there’s no way they can sell things that cheap unless they are using sweat shops.

I didn't think a they advertised

BMW. Driven by twats.

Audis. Also driven by twats and Audi TTs were described by my mother as "hairdresser's cars". Which was not a compliment
Lush, because of the smells and the politics. Which is a shame because I used to love their stuff when they started out.
House of Bruar. Bit niche, this one, but it basically promotes tweedy heathery overpriced fake Scotland half-way up the A9. Nice toilets, though.

Johnson's baby shampoo, no tears, knots the hair

Lush. Can't stand the smell - is so strong I can smell it a street away!
Ditto - Subway😞

Also Dune. I bought a pair of patent leather brogues from them about 15 years ago, and the shine rubbed off one toe over a week's holiday when I basically wore them for a couple of hours every evening, indoors. They took them back to examine them and then wouldn't give me a refund as they stated that the wear and tear was within a normal range, or some such bullshit. Never crossed their threshold since.

I have some great Superdry jumpers, no logos other than a small label on the sleeve which could probably be taken off, lovely warm cable knit (a couple are 100% cotton). Their jeans are the only ones I wear as well.

Oh and there blanket scarves from 5 years ago are so lovely and warm.

Actually it's not really an unreasonable dislike!

Yep. See also Louis Vuitton. Such boring designs!

Yorkie. I remember some ‘not for girls’ nonsense add they ran and I just thought ‘knobs’.

Burger King for similar reasons but can’t remember the add.

Kipling, not so much the recent stuff without this but anything with that bloody ugly furry monkey keyring attached just makes it look like cheap tat from the market

Bayliss & Harding because two Councillors (who were in a relationship) with different but similar names and were absolutely horrible people. One of them sent an email to my sister, complete with a computer virus 😠

First time a saw the brand, out of the corner of my eye, I thought it was actually their names! Gave me such a shock. I've never forgiven it.

I think they're dead now, but the brand is still dead to me.

Diptyque candles . I can't see the point of buying ridiculously expensive candles which melt away like normal ones .
