ELI5: Why do people hate big banks like Bank of America?

I have an account at Bank of America and friends are constantly telling me to close it, "because of corporate America" and, "because they are evil". What's the real deal here?

A lot of people attribute much of the recent economic meltdown to the banks, who overleveraged themselves with bad debt and took much of the capital market, housing market, and related economy with them when those bad bets came crashing down.

Some people feel they have been wronged by BofA and gang personally, e.g., through predatory lending practices, hidden account/transaction fees.
