I forget what brand it was that was not recommended the last time when I recently replaced my fridge because its entire product line is infamous for being absolute garbage.
It's a shame too many major appliances have shorter lifespans today in the name of planned obsolescence. So many old brands had loyalty because their products lasted and only needed occasional routine maintenance until they stopped working altogether. Unfortunately, companies today care more about making money than making quality products or developing consumer loyalty.
I can see both sides of this. I generally agree it'd be nice to know why someone decides to go incommunicado rather abruptly, especially if you largely got along and/or the friendship was a long-term one. At the same time, though, I've encountered people so insufferable that quietly dropping them like a hot potato was the best option.
It grinds my gears that phone scammers can call repeatedly using spoofing equipment that generates a new random phone number each time as a way to evade call blocking techniques. I'm at the point I hardly answer any calls if I don't recognize the number on the display or the call rings with my default "I don't know who this is" ringtone.

That said, it is scary to see people who look younger than they should for their position.
Thread tax: People who don't speak directly to you and get angry when you ask them to repeat what they said so you can know what they were trying to say in case it's important.
