Not sure why people would hate gas stations, I hate the gas companies setting the insane prices, but the stations themselves are often just local businesses.
ISPs on the other hand are like abusive partners, they do an awful job until you say you're going to leave. Then they start begging you to stay and promising to get better. Then they're good for about a week before starting to completely screw you again.
I hate gas stations because of the smell. That's not the fault of the business, just an inevitable thing that I do hate.
Thankfully, I never need to go to gas stations anymore so it doesn't really matter.
That said, ISPs are infinitely worse than gas stations.
