97 Times People Left Reviews So Entitled You Might Wonder How They Function In Society (New Pics)
On paper, the existence of reviews is a blessing. Thanks to all the people who take a few minutes to share their experiences—whether it’s a hotel stay, a restaurant meal, or an electronic purchase—we can make faster and more informed decisions about where to go and what to buy. How could there possibly be any downside to this?
Well, as it turns out, there can be plenty. If you’ve ever worked with the general public, you know that common sense isn’t exactly universal. Some people have terrible experiences for one simple reason: they’re terrible customers. And their reviews? Absolutely unhinged.
The subreddit r/EntitledReviews gathers some of the most audacious examples of this phenomenon. We’ve rounded up some of the worst offenders below—scroll down to witness the chaos.

"Socialist Hateful Place"
Nathaniel He/Him Cis-Het 1 week ago
"They let trans men walk into women's bathroom.." You are MAGA , this is what you want. If people want to bigot, they should get their terminology right.
There’s a special kind of energy that goes into writing a bad review. That does not mean the complaint is fair, but the effort is often impressive. Glowing reviews are usually short and sweet. A quick five stars and maybe a promise to come back.
Bad ones, meanwhile, arrive like a full theatrical performance, complete with dramatic wording, all caps, and the occasional insult thrown in for flavor.

Entitled Parents
There is a reason for that. People are more likely to leave a review when they are feeling something strongly, whether that feeling is delight or frustration.
But frustration usually hits harder. As National Strategic Group explains, negative experiences tend to carry more weight in the way people react as consumers.
Think of it this way. Finding $50 on the street would probably put you in a good mood for a while. Losing $50, though, could annoy you for the rest of the day and maybe longer.

When Parents Leave Out The Rest Of The Story
Psychologists call this negativity bias. Our brains are wired to pay closer attention to bad experiences than good ones. It is an old survival mechanism.
In the distant past, remembering a dangerous situation mattered a lot more than savoring a pleasant one. If something could harm you, your brain wanted that information filed away immediately.

As a result, negative experiences tend to trigger stronger brain activity, especially in areas like the amygdala, and often leave behind longer-lasting memories.
That helps explain why one rude waiter or one disappointing meal can keep replaying in your head all evening, right up until you open the review box and start typing like your life depends on it.

Always satisfied when owners use the phrase "Never come back", with zero F's to give.
Still, even the best business in the world is never going to please every single person who walks through the door or places an order. Sometimes mistakes happen.
And sometimes the problem is a customer who seems to be operating under rules known only to them. The kind of person who makes you wonder whether this is their first day interacting with other humans.

This is a real step up from the other complaints on this list. It would be great if the bar had cctv footage to pass on to the police.
The good news is that a bad review does not automatically spell disaster. In some cases, it can even make a business look more reliable. It may sound counterintuitive, but a spotless wall of perfect five-star ratings can actually make people suspicious.
Most of us know that nothing is flawless, so when every single review is positive, it can start to feel fake or even paid for. A couple of bad reviews, on the other hand, can make a place seem more believable. An overall rating of 4.2 often feels far more trustworthy than a perfect 5.0.

What matters most, then, is how a business responds. Thrive Agency says bad reviews should never be ignored. If people can see a company warmly replying to praise while saying nothing to criticism, that silence can speak pretty loudly.
Answering both positive and negative reviews shows that the business is paying attention to all feedback, not just the flattering kind.

Thanks BP for censoring the excessive unselected stars. No telling how my mind would've been warped otherwise!
The tone of that response matters just as much. Even when a review is exaggerated or unfair, the reply should stay calm and professional.
Getting defensive might feel satisfying for five seconds, but it is rarely a smart move when future customers are reading along. A thoughtful response shows that the business can handle problems responsibly.

This is like the stupid bint who complained that an actual rock concert was damaging her toddler's ears - firstly, how TF did you get that kid in there, and WHY?
A good reply usually starts by acknowledging the issue and apologizing for the customer’s experience. If there was a misunderstanding, it helps to explain it clearly and politely.
Businesses can also say how they plan to improve, and in some situations, offering compensation may make sense. That part depends on what actually happened.

As for the reviews in this lineup, compensation is not required. What some of these reviewers really need is a crash course in common sense.
Maybe a nap. Maybe a cup of chamomile tea. Maybe ten full minutes of sitting quietly before hitting “post.” Anything that might help them remember that other people exist and deserve at least a little respect.

Ffs. If your child is not aware of the difference between boys and girls at age 3, they sure will be when they start school. Use it as a learning experience. Meanwhile, take the magnifying glass away from them, the statue itself is only an inch tall.
