Consumerist Forums Roundup
A reader gets his oil over-filled at a lube shop only to break down on the road. He then receives excessive friction when he asks for a refund.
A reader's friend literally gets thrown to the ground by a tow truck driver. What are your options if you get jacked up by a tow truck company?
Why do Abercrombie stores stink? A reader shares his tale of being involuntarily scent marked by the lame-ass clothier.
With all the fanfare that credit unions seem to receive, a reader asks about the negative aspects of these supposed Valhallas of friendly banking.

Hollister has the nasty perfume/cologne too. I avoid walking in because of it. (that, and I'm not a fan of clothes with huge logos plastered all over them.)
That tow truck story seems a bit shaky detail wise. I don't believe someone would have their car booted and towed for parking in a "stop and shop" parking lot without some provocation.
@Asvetic: It happens. They even hire spotters to make sure you're not only shopping in the store that owns the lot, but that you're not exceeding the limit posted for the lot.
@Rectilinear Propagation: Ah well, thanks for the heads up. So until Gawker gives their blessings, it's bookmarked now.
@Asvetic:
I updated my post and gave a few more details.
Just to be clear this did not happen to me, and yes, he should have been more assertive, I chided him about that too.
He said he is going to make an account and post in that thread, beyond that it is in his hands.
I made that post because I was so upset that this was hapening in my home town and wanted to help him.
The Consumerist actually had forums? Dang, I didn't know that!
