Good question, I can imagine:  Zero assistance with resolving problems
and outspoken scorn, for starters.

I've it with some attempts at making bug reports, which got an immediate
response along the lines of:  Try again without the proprietary thingy.
And if it works, after that, the solution is to stop using the
proprietary thingy, get *them* to fix *that*, not for us to change our
thingummy to suit.

There's probably more annoying things, but that's the first one that
springs to mind.
