Another thing that annoys me about H&R Block is that they advertise that 
75% of their customers BELIEVE they got a larger refund by going there. 
(emphasis mine, although the 75 figure may be wrong)

Be serious.  Did they get more money or not?  Is brainwashing part of 
the package?  They also don't state whether the allegedly ``larger'' refund 
outweighs what they charge.  (I don't really expect them to tell).
