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.

There is a massive gap between their expectations and how reality actually works. This means that somebody ends up getting disappointed… and someone ends up getting review-bombed online for providing a perfectly adequate service.

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.
This Choosing Entitled Parent Wants Zoo Staff To "Relieve" An Actual Elephant, So Her Child Doesn't Ask Questions
Well, maybe SHE should help out the poor elephant. She was awfully interested in it's ERECTION!

Reminds me of my friend's ex wife. She once complained to a member of staff about a monkey at the zoo "playing" with itself in public.Being Ireland, the guy just laughed at her. So she decided to bang on the glass screen to tell the monkey off ... So all the monkeys responded by flinging their poo at her...
I'm not great with kids but even I would've managed the situation ffs, just tell her that animal boys get this sometimes when they really have to pee... or something 🤣
Why make up a lie about peeing? Just say it's a penis and that's what they sometimes look like.

My 3yo saw her dad's penis when he was in the bathroom. We had already talked about how boys and girls have different parts. It isn't that big of an issue unless you make it one. I will say hearing, "Daddy, is thst your penis?" on repeat for a minute while my husband was trying to cover up was extremely amusing
Had this been me and my family they would've had to roll me out in a wheelchair because I'd be on the ground laughing too hard to walk anymore.
Child: what's that? Mommy: (embarrassed) Oh, that's nothing Daddy: (proud) that's because your mother is spoiled dear.
What would you rather a child see? the erection or someone giving the poor elephant a hand job - moron
Ohmygosh. Is that a career path? Stroker of Elephants? Erection Eradication?? Wonder what the pay is like…
They could have at least suggested that the zoo staff buy the elephant dinner first. Sheesh.
If you had an uncle named Jack and he was stuck on an elephant, would you help your uncle Jack off an elephant? 😂😂😂
Um, when my horses are relaxed, eating their hay, they "get an erection" (really, their penis will just hang out of it's sheath. so I am not sure technically what it should be considered!) I am not relieving any male animal! This is a natural response for many animals! Mom needs to get over herself!
Happens when they pee, too. That’s probably what she saw; he just hadn’t put it away, yet. But, you’re right. Like horses, elephants sometimes just like to let it sway in the breeze. Seems to be pretty common behavior, particularly of adolescent males, regardless of species. It’s only human moms that make it into a big deal. But, it’s only human moms who have sons who might get arrested for it, too.

While at a zoo with my ex and our two toddler sons we saw a bunch of families quickly leaving an elephant exhibit and we wondered why. When we arrived the male had an erection. One son asked what's that so we told him its his penis. No big deal. All boys and men have one.
This is no longer an acceptable statement because you could be considered transphobic. Just as some men have vaginas, some women have penises. It’s a brave new world out there.

I wonder what she'll want the zoo keepers to do if the apes fling poo at her and her 3-year-old?
I'm laughing! This is my aunt right here! You can't shelter your kids forever. Things will happen
We went to the Little Rock Zoo when I was 11 and my sister was 2. We were heading to see the giraffes when a male started mounting a female. Dad just turns the stroller around and said "Let's go this way." It was never discussed then and hasn't been until this day. We are now 53 and 44.
Ya just can't control those things... Maybe, the elephant could hold his school books in front of himself...
Me as a parent to a 3 year old if they asked, "thats a wiener" and then he would laugh
They held the kids 4th bday at a Tijuana donkey show to answer any questions she had.
Easy, 5 legged African Elephant. Do I have to answer all the children's questions? Or.....Two Trunked Asiatic Elephant. Whichever you like better.
This, this can't be a real review, right? People can't POSSIBLY be this stupid, right? RIGHT!?
Bet $10 that what she saw was not an elephant with an erection, but an elephant relieving himself by taking a p**s.
If there was really truly any karma and justice that still existed in this world, that elephant would have took that large bloody election of his and humped that woman so hard her fingers would have not been able to type up that post.. but alas! There is no justice and here us pandas are left traumatised with this imagery lol.

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

Which of these reviews did you think were the most ridiculous out of the bunch, Pandas? Have you ever come across an online review just as bad (or even worse!)? What do you think it would take for these overly entitled people to finally realize they need to be more humble?

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!!
