For months, we've been sharing stories of bad businesses with you every Tuesday.

And certainly this year has offered more than its share of examples of businesses who have done wrong by consumers --- starting with the housing crisis, moving onto banking crisis, and did we mention the insurance companies that required a bailout? Last week's auto bailout got in just under the wire.

Then there are the myriad bad medical professionals or airlines who decided to fool with their luggage scales. the auto warranty calls and the shrinking grocery packages still sold at the same price as the larger sizes. And let's not forget the data breaches --- where companies let your personal information get out of their hands.

So, in your opinion, which business do you feel has been the worst this year? And who do you feel has been the best --- and the worst --- consumer advocate in the past 12 months?

Refresh your memories of past Naughty Businesses of the Week, and please share your ideas below. We'll share our picks and hand out virtual wreaths to the best --- and dole out lumps of coal where coal is due.
