Repeat Offenders

See All Lists
As quoted in Raising Arizona, "They've got a name for people like you....That name is called 'recidivism.'" It's good to give people a second chance for redemption. However, some businesses just don't get it. Here's a list of Triangle businesses that just don't make the grade after subsequent visits/dealings.

 1. Time Warner Cable

1201 Raleigh Rd
Chapel Hill, NC 27517
(919) 968-4958
1.0 star rating
  Update - 2/14/2011

I only wished Yelp would give us the option of ZERO stars for businesses like Time Warner Cable (TWC) - if there ever was a poster child for zero star reviews, it would be TWC.

TWC is like one of those dreaded horror flick super zombies where the…More »

  Update - 6/25/2010

If I had an iPhone and checked in everytime I ate here for one of my "lazy" lunches....I would easily earn the moniker "Whore of Taco Bell". That being said, I really should have gone to Nosh instead or at the very least, Chubby's....but dealings at…More »

    Egads!

    It's a chain and yet I always keep coming back for this stuff. I don't know why! It's like a… Read more »

SUMMARY:
A bank that doesn't try to win you over with services, charges excessive fees and doesn't notify you of fee schedule changes.

DETAILS:
In all fairness, this review is 50% for this particular branch and 50% for the online banking portion - but…More »

Recently updated lists from Dan C.

I can haz internetz? (Free Wifi in the Triangle) (28)

I'm cheap. There I said it. So I like to support businesses that let me dine, drink, shop, etc...also while letting me do my surfing. Preferably non-chain and local, but I've been known to show up in a few of the big corporations' brick & mortar joints to check-in. Here are some places in the Triangle that'll cater to your internet wet dreamz and check-in fantazeees....

Home, Sweet Home.... (11)

RDU (and nearby) resources for that big home purchase....don't worry, it's only 30 years of your life, right??????

Where's Dan? (Lunch eats in & around RTP/Durham/CH) (26)

I liken this list to a "Where's Waldo?" game, except....I'm Waldo. You might find me here....then again, you might not! I'm harder to spot b/c I'm not wearing that striped shirt with a cap. Good luck!

Twice is Nice... (4)

Everyone deserves a second chance at redemption, right? Here are some Triangle businesses that didn't quite jive with me the first visit, but later proved me wrong. It's like Lazarus...but everyone's still alive. No worries, no businesses were hurt in this list.

You say Szechuan, I say Sichuan...Szechwan. All hail the pepper! (3)

If you like spicy, these places cater to the chili-loving southwestern Chinese province with that iconic Szechuan/Sichuan/Szechwan peppercorn!

What happens in Vegas.... (13)

Living la vida local for 4 years in Las Vegas -  these are the places I loved and still miss.

Dog days....in the Triangle (11)

The good, the bad and the ruff - all things dog related I've found in the Triangle so far (dog parks, vets, shops, etc.).

Puttin' on the frites: poutine, chips/tots/fries with sauce (8)

My weird passion for all things frites in the Triangle. I prefer poutine, but cheese fries/tots or even chili-cheese fries will do...

Just remember (sung to "Puttin' on the Ritz"):
When you're blue and you don't know where to go to,
Why don't you go where the potato sits,
Puttin' on the frites....

Win some, dim sum.... (5)

Sometimes it's a draw...or worse. Some local (Triangle) and not so local dim sum places (from all over) b/c I've got to keep the dream alive!

Ahhhhh......fish & chips or chips & fish? (5)

The magic formula: fish, batter, oil and potatoes. Tastings from all over - local (Triangle) and elsewhere of where I satisfy my greasy sea cravings.
