40 Times Customers Tried To Sabotage Businesses With Their Bad Reviews But Were Surprised When It Backfired
Just when you feel like you’ve got a handle on the depths to which some people sink on the internet, you come across something so bad, you start tumbling into the internet rabbit hole. Destination: absolute entitlement. Population: way too many.
There we were, just randomly internet window shopping when we came across some truly outrageous reviews. They were dripping with dissatisfaction and such a warped perspective about what the world and companies ‘owe’ them that we couldn’t help but share them with you. Bored Panda has collected the very worst cases of entitled online reviews that might just give you a headache.
Meanwhile, if you’re done facepalming at the posts in this list and you feel like you’ve got just a smidge of faith in humanity that you’d love to lose, then you should definitely check out Bored Panda’s previous two articles about absolutely absurd reviews right here and over here. Need a reminder that some people are incredibly kind and not at all arrogant? We’ve got you covered, too.

Reviewing A Place That Isn't Even Open Yet
Of course, everyone’s entitled to have their opinion. However, opinions are just that—opinions.
Subjective and often driven by emotions, they give a glimpse into how a certain person might view the world. It’s fascinating to dive in and see life through their eyes, from their perspective… well, usually.

The sad fact is that there are some people out there who will always have a problem with you. No matter how good your service. No matter how good your product.
Your best won’t ever be ‘good enough’ for them. And minor quibbles and molehills quickly turn into insurmountable mountains and challenges once they start typing up their reviews.

Smugly (probably), they blame you for imagined or overblown mistakes, as they plop down a 1-star review.
The more self-aware might actually give a fairer rating and may even add a star or two. But the words they write are just swimming in entitlement.

Now that’s not to say that it’s the customers who are always wrong or anything like that. Businesses make errors as well and it’s important to call them out for it.
Everyone ends up winning if companies react adequately to constructive criticism and genuine suggestions for improvement.
On the flip side, if businesses are unwilling to take into account their customers’ needs and wants, they won’t hang on to them for long.

Meanwhile, it’s also important for customers to go into detail about their problems and dissatisfaction in a diplomatic way.
Usually, it’s a live person on the other end of the line, handling all of these help requests and responding to reviews. The last thing they need is to face verbal abuse or to be blamed for [cough] ‘refusing’ to help someone move their bed two years after selling them one.

Very recently, Bored Panda reached out for a chat about entitlement with Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D., a professor at Northern Illinois University.
She told us that “when friends begin to resent you for the level of 'special treatment you feel you deserve, it's time to back down and remember that everyone deserves to be thought of as special and treated with equal respect."

"When someone's sense of entitlement begins to encroach on the rights or good nature of others, then it's become a problem that the overly entitled person will need to address if they want to continue to enjoy the company of others," the professor said, adding that if we’re constantly made to feel special, we come to expect similar treatment throughout our lives.
One Star After Occupying A Small Cafe For 20 Minutes And Buying One Coffee Between 5 People. Owner Replies To Accusations
As a Scottish person I'd have yeeted their asses out pronto - it's one thing going into a big chain pub or restaurant to use facilities, although still somewhat frowned upon, but to take up a third of a restaurant while buying one drink? No, nope, not happening. We're a welcoming and friendly bunch of people (mostly) but we have a limited tolerance for arsehole behaviour, which this group most certainly are guilty of. It astounds me that these people didn't come to their senses and realise they were being unreasonable

Choosing Beggar Leaves One Star Review After Getting Free Replacement Pizza But No Salad
I worked at a bakery/cafe and a woman left a 1-star review because she tried use the drive-thru to pick up her the custom cake that she ordered. What she failed to SAY in the review was that we had her pull forward 20 feet and BROUGHT THE CAKE OUT TO HER CAR so she wouldn't have to wake up her kid! The thing that really pissed me off about it was that the owner of the place didn't say anything about THAT in her response to the review, just kissed the woman's butt in order to make sure that we "didn't lose a customer". She wouldn't have needed to be rude to the lady! Just let the readers know the other half of the story!!

Then Why Did You Leave A Review?
Although it's a stupid thing to do I can *almost* see the logic behind it. It's not SOUND logic, but it is a weird kind of logic. If you allow Google to see your location and allow the option for it then it will send you notifications asking you to review X location that it thinks you've been to. Some people think they HAVE to do it. I don't know why. Some people also think they HAVE to respond to every piece of mail or email they receive. I used to send out mass mailings to my customers for work. We're a small business, but if we were having a special for some specific dates then I'd send out a mailing to maybe 200-300 of them. Every time I did one woman would feel it necessary to call me and thank me for sending her the "invitation" but regrettably she wouldn't be able to take advantage of it because..... (her sister was in town, she wasn't feeling well, she was going out of town, there was always some reason). She never understood that it wasn't a personal request.

One Star Review Because They Came After The Restaurant Closed
If it doesn't mention the opening hours online, and they have closing times people wouldn't expect, then it is useful to say that in a review, so other people don't assume it will be open and travel there only to be disappointed. But DON'T give a one star review for that! I think review websites should give the option of writing a review without choosing stars, so you can mention stuff like this without affecting their score. But if a review website doesn't have that option, give them 3 or 4 stars if you want to write something but haven't actually eaten there yet, don't give them a negative score.
