To get annoyed with Amazon reviewers

[Voidka]

Who leave bad reviews due to their own stupidity.

YABU, they make me laugh.

Link!

Can you elaborate, OP?

Things like this

I bought this to read to a 5 year old - it was in the key-stage-1 section. I should have taken notice of the reviewers who said things like "I love to read my children these stories, when they let me". The language style and the backgound knowledge required is just not that of a five-year old. Don't buy it, if your kids are under 36.

YABU, I find Amazon reviews hilarious (whether it's intentional or not). This is a legend personal favourite

I hate ones that dissect every page of the story and ruin the book for you.

Why would you want a picture of Paul Ross .

I like reading them, but I really dont like how they pull down the stars for a book because they have not read the description properly.

Popcorn that is brilliant!

Oh god, thanks for that popcorn, that has made me laugh on a particulary painful day :)

The most annoying for me are the ones who give a book a bad review because of problems with delivery!

popcorn, thats the funniest thing I've read in ages. Thank you.

Popcorn, that is hilarious. Who is Paul Ross though?

Popcorn that link is utterly hilarious on so many counts. Must be a spoof advert in the first place....box photo of Paul Ross - WTF? - selling for £2,500 - WTF?? - which has 448, yes, 448, bonkers customer reviews! Either one very bored or lots of very bored people have created that....love it.

......and take a look at the 'customers who bought this also viewed......' bar at the bottom! Too funny!

Hahaha - I particularly liked this one-star review, re the Paul Ross boxed canvas:

"I bought this for my wife at Christmas, but all she did was set fire to it and then attempt to put the fire out with an axe.

Disappointed."

I like them, but usually only read the book reviews in detail after reading the book or find they can give the story away. I thought they used to have a spoiler alert button but maybe imagined it.
Great for household items and frying pans, for fiction if looking for a follow up of an author I've just read i just go by star rating and ignore reviews for now.

The frying pans should have been non-fiction books, not sure how I got the 2 confused in my head.

Must remember to avoid your reviews, 2rebecca...

"This biography of Winston Churchill is rubbish. I used it to fry an egg and the dustjacket almost immediately ignited, sending up clouds of thick black smoke and ruining the taste of my breakfast. Still, I met some very personable firemen as a result, so I am giving it two stars."

I never trust those free kindle books with only one review presumably by the author.

I think the most annoying are the ones for dvds where someone in the US gives something 1 star because they failed to understand that it wouldn't play on their machine. Just makes me want to shout at the screen "don't review it if you haven't even watched it!"

The reviews on this one are classic - you'd think the person writing such a massive academic tome would have thought a bit more carefully about the title...

snigger

I hate the ones who give a bad review because they didn't receive it or it was broken in transit

A hidden cache of hilarity on Amazon. Who knew!

YANBU

I love the amazon reviews.

However, my personal favourites are the kiddicare ones which usually go along the lines of my baby hasn't been born yet but this cot/toy/etc looks pretty

Jump surely that's a piss take??
