Abstract
The scope of our study is to analyze the negative behavioral response of angry and dissatisfied customers of service sector of Pakistan.

The expected negative behavioral responses are negative word of mouth, complaint behavior, third party complaint behavior or switching behavior.

In both states the preferred responses are negative word of mouth and switching. They might choose to complain to service provider but chances are lesser. Third party complaint behavior is not visible in Pakistan at all.
