Groupon
Groupon has a reputation problem and it is partly earned. But almost every bad Groupon story turns out to have been described, accurately and in advance, in a section of the page nobody read. The discount is real; the restrictions attached to it are also real, and the whole skill of using the site is learning to read both at the same time.
