Places That Annoy Me
See All Lists
1. Yellow Cab Company
Vancouver, BC V5L 3K9
(604) 681-1111
Category:
Taxis
Neighbourhoods: Strathcona, Grandview-Woodlands
0 stars, minus even.
Interestingly, like the last reviewer, had lost a cell phone in a Yellow Cab. We called and someone with a similar accent to our driver answered but hung up. Lost and found was closed all weekend too. Never got it back.
BUT…More »
2. Fabutan Sun Tan Studios
Promo backfire! About a month ago I went to a Ladies Night In event at Caprice nightclub. The event promoted a range of beauty services and offered a pass for 3 free tans at Fabutan to everyone who showed up. I got mine at the door and went about…More »
3. Adara Hotel
I've never been kicked out of a hotel before...and never anticipated that happening when we were fast asleep. We'd been a little wasted in the village the day before when we booked a hotel through Garfinkel's pub crawl so I didn't get the details or…More »
4. Jet Pet Resort
Richmond, BC V7B 1K3
(604) 238-7387
Category:
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
Neighbourhood: YVR
They had some good deals and were a convenient choice so I was enticed to try them when an emergency business trip came up. I called, and a file was started for my dog. When I told her that he was taking a precautionary med I was told she would…More »
5. Ginger 62
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1M6
(604) 688-5494
Categories:
Dance Clubs,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
The fact that Ginger 62 has a line-up when the club is more than half-empty says it all. This place is all pomp but no personality. Inside the place you'll find a mix of conformist types and those who just didn't (or don't) know any better.
I was…More »
6. Michael's
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1
(604) 638-2523
Category:
Arts & Crafts
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Went in to grab some art supplies. Here is my story:
1) security guard wouldn't let me take my puppy in...annoying...but can live with it
2) paints for airbrush are on one end of store, spray paint on the other end...annoying
3) they had crappy spray…More »
7. Firehouse Grill
Don't go to Firehouse hoping to catch the game...
I wanted a place to watch the last Canucks playoff game - the big one against the Blackhawks - and decided to forgo my ferry trip to watch it at Firehouse. I walked in and saw hockey flags and a few…More »
8. OrganicLives
Vancouver, BC V5T 2Z3
(778) 588-7777
Categories:
Live/Raw Food,
Health Food Store,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Of course we all know organic isn't usually fast or cheap, but it usually makes up for it in taste and nutrition. My initial experience was not good. There was no one to greet me despite a flurry of activity. Then, finally, I was asked to wait a…More »
9. Canine Adventure Den Daycare
Vancouver, BC V5T 1C5
(604) 876-3647
Category:
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Yikes. I really feel bad complaining after taking advantage of their first day free offer, but the stress of leaving my puppy there just wasn't worth it. There was nothing reassuring about leaving my little dog there. He was placed in the front…More »
10. The Chop Shop Hair
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L8
(604) 696-0009
Categories:
Hair Salons,
Barbers
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
I was walking by, needed a haircut and they were able to take me. My friend and I had fun, drinking from our traveller and chatting it up with the stylist. She was sweet but seemed young and not very experienced. She decided to try something…More »
11. Fun In the Sun
Vancouver, BC V6R 1N8
(604) 738-9798
Categories:
Sporting Goods,
Accessories,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I found the shopkeeper so rude I don't think I'll go back. I'd been probably about 4 times, and while it's cheap, the same stuff seems to have been sitting on the racks for a couple years. I've never found anything there and definitely wouldn't…More »
12. ICBC
I went in one morning when I was in a really great mood and left feeling considerably annoyed after dealing with the girl at the front desk. She talked to me like a complete idiot, didn't want to hear anything I had to say either. On top of that,…More »
13. Meinhardt Fine Foods
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J8
(604) 732-4405
Categories:
Delis,
Specialty Food
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I do love stopping by their deli counter in the mornings and grabbing a tasty coffee, english muffin with egg breakfast sandwich and some orzo pasta for lunch. However there are certain staff I really try to avoid.
One will give me a hard time…More »
14. The Eatery
Vancouver, BC V6R 2B4
(604) 738-5298
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
The service was so inexcusably slow I don't think I could ever return. Our waitress blamed the kitchen but the drinks, my one mojito actually, took 25 mins on its own. Took her 15mins to ask in the first place, so that was 40mins before anything…More »
15. Narrow Lounge
I'm over the whole hidden place vibe. This place banks too much on being underground (and presumably cool) but could really use a slap of proper service and an attitude adjustment to boot. Found the servers slow and snarky, especially when trying…More »
16. Pine Free Community Health Clinic
Vancouver, BC V6J 1M7
(604) 736-2391
Categories:
Medical Clinics,
Doctors
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
I guess if I actually got in to see someone I'd be super thankful too. I went by one day and checked the hours - if you're over 24 and have no care card you have to show up between 9am and noon Monday to Thursday. So I came back one day and was…More »
17. Taf's Café
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1K7
(604) 684-8900
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Was wandering down Granville after a film one night looking for a cozy place with good deals on food. Taf's advertised a couple deals on their sandwich boards outside, $10 pint w/ panini and choice of pasta for $6.50. Score!
I used my handy…More »
18. Taco Zone Truck
Los Angeles, CA 90026
USA
(818) 763-4085
Categories:
Food Stands,
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Echo Park
Looks like it's a new taco truck and different people too. Phone no. in pics doesn't work - don't try it, you get an upset little lady.
I grabbed a burrito last Thursday at 9PM. Asked for veg, not sure it was. Wasn't too tasty and gave me the…More »
19. Java Cow Creamery, Cafe & Bakery
Park City, UT 84060
USA
(435) 647-7711
Categories:
Restaurants,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
While here I had two major epiphanies:
1) At $6 a cone I really should get into the ice cream business and 2) I will never be the kind of tourist that gets excited about visiting a place filled with cows - fortunately.
This is not a landmark folks.…More »
20. Zipang Sushi
Vancouver, BC V5V 3N7
(604) 708-1667
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Riley Park
So the place is small and packed. It was a Sunday at about 6PM. We waited in the 3x3 doorway as people pushed through with their reservations...no one came by to check on us for 15mins or so. Finally a table opened up and we sat down...it stayed…More »
