This week’s Tumblr showcases that exact sentiment by compiling people’s random tweets at brands that are ridiculous, pointless, irrationally aggressive and/or just plain dumb. From complaints about the music that @Walgreens plays in their store, to completely unrelated questions that seem to expect an answer, to
