Google Workspace. I have several clients who insist on using it for unknown reasons. It creates unprofessional looking work products. And in some cases, it is just plain kludgy (slicers randomly shoot themselves over the Sheet, page numbers randomly renumber when the footer is updated, etc). The part that gets me the most is that it is similar in price to other productivity suites, but often our clients opt to buy Zoom and Slack on top of that - basically doubling the price.
All my durable medical equipment like CPAP machine, DirecTV, and Walgreens for anything.
Plastic
Credit cards
Just a slimy middleman taking a cut of every transaction and trapping people in debt. But a bit of a tragedy of the commons because merchants raise prices to accommodate CC fees and the rewards are hard to pass up.

I prefer password-less logins with a hardware key but only a few online services offer it.
Planes/Airports... I travel for work and I hate them, uncomfortable, crowded, huge waste of time and lots of problems just waiting to pop out.

The day on fully out as trans ill never touch a button shirt again. I wanna have all black blouses.
