To find it SO bloody annoying when people review things they haven't actually used?!

[SharkiraSharkira]

Just that really.

Trying to buy Christmas presents and looking online at things that might be suitable. I look at a lot of reviews to try and cut down the possibility of buying something crap inadvertently but so many 'reviews' these days seem to consist of:

'Bought this for my [inset age relative ] Not opened it yet but arrived in the post very quickly'

Or

'Looks lovely but not actually tried it out yet'

Or

'Will make a lovely gift for [insert person] who really loves [inset item]

Gaaaah! So frustrating?!

Does the thing work? Is it good quality? Did your [insert age relative] actually like or do you just THINK they will? Did it break on the first use? Did they play with it once then throw it in a drawer for the rest of time? These are the questions I want answered!! Otherwise just don't bother posting a review in the first place if you have nothing useful to say about the actual bloody item

And having posted that, I just looked at it and there's a review that comes up almost first that's actually got a really nasty paragraph about miscarriage in it. It's the 2013 one on the front page, assuming everyone sees them in the same order. I don't remember seeing that when I saw a link for this a couple of years ago.

So ragey I forgot a whole word!!

THE FUCKING QUESTION**

YANBU!
Ditto the ones where they’ve ordered/received the wrong thing or even had a faulty one. I saw one today- “Fuming! Bought this for my boyfriend’s present and it’s scratched! One star!”
Just send it back and get a replacement! These things happen. Then tell me what the product was like.
