My personal pet peeve is the branding car dealerships place on the cars they sell. I asked one sales person if I was going to get a monthly check from them for the advertising services I was providing for them. He thought I was joking. While I've never used a seam ripper to remove a logo from an article of clothing (kuddos to them), I have removed the license plate covers and decals from my car in front of the sales person that assumed I was joking before accepting the car.
