Thanks for posting this, it made me laugh out loud.

The sad thing is, this isn't just a youtube video, it's pretty much a documentary of how things actually go.  Grin

It is about how it went down with the 1 bad review I have on google. I will expand more later but short story was a guy with a Jeep and his mechanic friend modified the Jeep for off road rock climbing and couldn't get it running.

I got it running and it went off the cliff(pun intended for rocky climbing) from there.

I can't wait to hear the story behind it, but I actually kind of appreciate a bad google review when I'm looking things up.

The reason I say this is because there is places that basically pay for good reviews, even though you know these places totally suck. If you can find a place that has all good reviews and then one or two bad ones, you know it's representative of real life, because there's always the people that are completely insane that we deal with.

Even on Amazon. You can look up a car part on there, and some moron will leave it a bad review because it didn't fix his problem, even though he changed the wrong part in the first place. I usually roast those people just for fun.

I wish I could have that playing to a customer who wants to question things. I wonder what sort of a review they might leave after watching the video?

Nice one Ian

No need wondering! It's kinda how this went down. Ian asked me the story about it a while back and I told him. He saw this clip and it reminded him of the story I told him.

Headed home soon and I will address ALL these comments so far...   Cool

100% agree. They suck but...

Spot on!!! For a while I had two to three companies a month try to sell their service of writing reviews. It has toned down quite a bit lately to maybe one every two or three months. What the deal was that they would add good reviews to your business to  get a rating. If anyone did respond with a bad review they watch dogged your account and would hit it heavy with a bunch of good reviews to move the bad one down.

This just blew me away! I wasn't a big fan of reviews but after having these guys try to get my business made me not look at reviews with much weight. I normally look to see if there are some 1 or 2 star reviews and see what they say. You can normally tell if the 1 or 2 star had merit of if the people posting them were total Jack Asses! In the past couple years you can see all the reviews someone has posted. Google gives points for giving reviews to get people all jazzed up on this(must be a millennial thing) to make them feel important. When you see someone has left 40 reviews and 36 of them are 1 stars they are just a Jack Ass cruising thru life. I can't imagine going thru life with that kind of chip on my shoulder thing everyone owes me or I will post a bad review.

Must suck to be them.

Unbelievable isn't it?  (We really need a face palm smilie! I might wear it out though)

Now how about we get to the story...    Smiley
