To think this is the most ridiculous one star review?

[Witchofzog]

She gave the film a 1 star review because Amazon "let her buy it twice". What an absolute idiot. Does she really think Amazon police people buying things twice? Did she not think people buy duplicates as gifts etc? This has actually made me angry as it is so stupid.

We’re just back from staying in Alton towers hotel.
Someone gave a 1 star review on trip advisor complaining that there was no fried tomatoes at the all you can eat breakfast buffet.

I once bought a really expensive office chair on Amazon which was actually half the price it was at a store but still bloody expensive (specialist back pain thing).

It had 2 reviews. One gave it five stars for being fabulous. The second gave it one star for being too expensive for the would- be buyer to purchase.

There's a poo in my kettle dear Liza dear Lisa....

@flouncyfanny they weren’t the only reviewer to say that either. It’s Bluebird Hotel in Newcastle if you fancy a laugh at some of the other reviews.

They are the kind of people our mountain rescue people have to bring back down because the idiots think they are going for a gentle stroll along a bit of a hill so ware flip flops / high heels / shorts etc

Have seen hotels rated lowly on tripadvisor because it rained....... how is that the hotels fault?

I read a review on John Lewis website recently. For a TV that the chap admitted he didn't actually buy. Because he didn't think it was big enough. It made me irrationally angry. I went on to buy the TV (the reason I was reading reviews anyway)
Also read a crappy review about a particular hotel abroad. The reason for the 1 star was because the weather had been crap. Comments about the hotel were all positive. Also stayed in Tenerife over Christmas and just because it rained for 2 days, the rep was besieged by furious people demanding to be flown home as they were promised good weather.

Somw people are batshit.

Sorry Flouncy

Drier

Sounds like Pontins!

I saw a 1 star review for a local cafe as the customer had "only had time for a drink" and couldn't comment on the food!!!! Poor owners!

I spend a lot of time on the Lake District fells and have seen all sorts (Striding Edge in flip-flops was probably the worse) and I can well believe the Ben Nevis review was real.

I'm more interested in the second review
Actually I was bit irritated by the bit we can see of the review above which ends:
"... a replacement and this time both discs didn't work."

Surely that should be "neither of the discs worked"

My favourite was a hotel I stayed at. Web site clearly stated no tv in rooms One idiot wrote I like to relax by watching tv in the evening.

Easily avoided book hotel with them. Idiot

I always remember a one star review for an ice cream maker - despite the description clearly stating the bowl needed to be frozen to make the ice cream, the reviewer complained that it was no good because she didn’t have a freezer!

This one-star review of the Palace of Minos at Knossos made me laugh. I mean, who gives a shit about the ruins of a lost civilisation? I'm just here for the goats.

I love the reviews of natural wonders - mountains, waterfalls etc. Like, who's work are they reviewing exactly? Nature? Or do they imagine God is sat on a cloud somewhere, peering at a smartphone and thinking "I'd better flatten Ben Nevis a bit"?

I bought some pet stain and odour remover from Amazon. Along with the actual cleaning it has “Pro-bacteria and enzymes to discourage repeat marking”. Note: “discourage repeat marking”. Not: “toilet train your puppy for you”. Cue 50-odd reviews like these ones..

If you went to visit some natural hot springs in Iceland, would you:

A) Bring your swimming things, including a towel and be embarrassed if you forgot.

B) Not bother bringing a towel as you expect the natural landscape to provide one. Lecture Iceland on its poor customer service and suggest improvements.

Yes, one man chose B. And put what looked to be his real name and photo on his review. I bet he finds the customer service on beaches equally disappointing.

My ex son in law runs a bar - he was given a bad review on the bar's Facebook page (which means he can never have a five star rating, even though every other review has been hugely positive) because she didn't like the shape of the glass her Coke was served in.

loving this post...

I see that 250 people have found the review of Snowdon helpful. Mountains - why on earth do they make them so high, and so boring, and with mist at the tops? Idiots.

I was looking at reviews on waterproof sheets for a bed wetting child recently and they were all positive yet it was just “arrived quick” and such like - how about - is t actually fucking waterproof?!? Does it do what it’s supposed to do?!? People truly are idiots. It’s a PRODUCT review.
