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.

A Restaurant Review I Stumbled On. The Customer Is So Many Kinds Of Wrong
especially when the customer is a karen

Even if the bill was $150 (and you know it wasn’t), that still comes to $2.50 PER ROLL! No drinks? No sides? Sounds like an amazing bargain.
Very few people know the last part. The first part is probably at least partly responsible for the "karen" phenomenon.

Was it cash only??? Cuz thinking she could have paid with her debit card.
Don't folk have debit cards? I couldn't tell you the last time I held physical cash - everywhere takes contactless cards so I use that all the time
If you look next to the stars, it says it has been posted 7 months ago, but in French. There are still plenty of cultures that values cash over cards.

She was embarrassed, I understand. Still to write a poor review later is childish.
"The person who came up with the phrase 'the customer is always right' was VERY wrong and probably also a customer." -Icecreamsandwich
Yeah. I left a fry on my plate along with the parsley garnish. I want to be credited for it or I'm gonna go all Karen on you!
Okay, a couple of things: 1) This customer is stupid as hell, 2) This customer is irresponsible as hell for leaving their kids alone unsupervised in a restaurant, 3) Does this restaurant not have a digital payment option? Because if it does then this customer is stupid as hell for not using the same smartphone they used to write this stupid as hell "review" to make a digital payment instead of leaving their kids alone unsupervised in a restaurant to go to the ATM, 4) Have I mentioned that this customer is stupid as hell?
If you ever find yourself saying the customer is always right... guaranteed you are very very wrong
She couldn't have used her ATM/credit card at the restaurant? Every one I've ever had was both. Sounds like she just wanted a way to bring her kids into for dramatic effect.
Oh, I'm sure they're terribly sad you and your crotch goblins aren't coming back. 🙄
Next time she should order the sushi rolls that have been returned by other guests in order to get a refund. Maybe she could get it discounted.
The customer is always right in questions of a requested design. Nothing more. ... you decided to take the food, offered by the restaurant, presumably shown & priced on a menue, designed by some cook somewhere --- you pay for it. For all of it.
This Restaurant Wears 1 Star Yelp Reviews Behind Their T-Shirts
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!!
