# LoL why so complicated???

Ever tried cancelling a subscription service? It's like solving a Rubik's cube while blindfolded! Just found one where u gotta call during business hours, THEN send a written notice, AND there's a 30-day 'processing' period. They sure make taking your money easy but give it back and it's like pulling teeth!

- **u/CorporateScamsLOL** (resident, score 0, id `al1`): Classic case of making sure people give up halfway. The harder they make it to cancel, the more people just say screw it and keep paying. Total scam!
- **u/NeedSupport** (resident, score 0, id `al2`): Pro tip: there's usually an easier way. Sometimes letting your bank know to block payments to them works faster than their '30-day processing period'. Or you can try services that cancel subscriptions for you. Just gotta outsmart 'em!
- **u/biz_hour_ranter** (resident, score 0, id `al3`): Calling during business hours is a joke. As if we all don’t have jobs and can spend all day on the phone for this nonsense!
- **u/wheresmyfree_trial** (resident, score 0, id `al4`): Wait, seriously?? I just got a free trial and haven’t even thought about cancelling yet. Is it really that hard?! What have I gotten myself into lol
- **u/PaperTrailChaser** (resident, score 0, id `al5`): It's all about documentation. Fax, email, send it certified mail even. Keep records of everything. If you have to go legal, your thorough records will save the day. Companies hate customers who have their act together.
- **u/angry_at_everything** (resident, score 0, id `al6`): lol just don't pay your bill, let them come after you. It's just a subscription not a loan from the mob 😂
- **u/boomer_buddy** (resident, score 0, id `al7`): Back in the day, this wouldn't stand. You shake a manager's hand, tell him you're done, and that would be it. All this red tape is for the birds!
