17. We get a lot of them
 
My biggest problem is the current steady of an ex-GF. The funny thing is that he generates these reviews while drinking.

We also sell very high-end art and outdoor decor (Think $3,000 wind chimes and $10,000 water features), so we get some negative Yelps from folks who just don't/can't get it.

I cannot understand why anyone gives any credence to anonymous reviews.

Other than the fact he's been repeatedly tombstoned, is anti-Semetic, a serial liar, and has shitty taste?

According to him he jammed a gun into the gut of a Sec. of Denfese (or something) while in Vietnam. Changing his user names keeps the wet-works teams from finding him.

If you believe a word of his posts, then you believe he is the second-most decorated enlisted man in Navy history, who spent not a single day in school, and whose life has been a continual parade of celebrities and fabulous wealth.  Plus, he consumes vast amounts of alcohol and screws centerfold models daily, while making tens of thousands of posts on an internet forum for political lunatics.

Oh yeah, I believe his stories.

Dear Mr. Forsythe,
It took me about 30 seconds to learn your street address, that your property is valued at $303,000, the names and addresses of your neighbors, that you are 62 years old, and where you are employed.

Do you really think it is a good idea to go around threatening civil employees who are doing a very difficult job in very difficult circumstances, all brought on by people like you? Really?

I can see how a guy with that sort of wrist action would be helpful in a wind chime store. 

How else would you about stimulating the chimes as if a weak breeze were caressing them, without a weak wrist to help them?

Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have one of the finest examples of the second purpose of the DUmpster; why the DUmpster exists, and the public service it performs.

There's three purposes for the DUmpster: (a) to provide light amusement and entertainment for decent and civilized people, much like comics in the daily newspaper; (b) to serve as "quality control" for the primitives; and (c) as a source of anthropological material.

By "quality control," it is meant checking out the primitives to see if they're what they say they are.  The primitives allege themselves to be a lot of things; kind, caring, rational, intelligent, &c., &c., &c.  Or they allege themselves to be something in real life.

The DUmpster carefully checks all these claims, much like the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) checks claims made by manufacturers of products, to see if they're as advertised.

If they meet or exceed their advertising, it's all good.

If they don't live up to their bragging, well, problems, and the primitives need to know they have some poseurs in their midst, so as to guard against them.

That's what the DUmpster does; "quality checks" the primitives.

Denise,  we happened upon this place while vacationing in CA.  I think we ran into the same manager.  I think his name was Tom and in addition to rude and pompous he stank of booze and BO.  Whoever owns that place should dump him before he ruins the business.
Hmmm. Is TiT claiming to be the manager to customers? Last I knew he was just a guy who lived in the back room, doing menial tasks.

IF he is not the manager, perhaps the owner ought to know what this anti-Semite is telling his customers.

That really sucks, but I doubt it was Skimmer who did it.

Skimmer has little interest in what the DUmmies post, nor how they embarrass the democrat party.

He has successfully monetized the moonbats, leaving his two lazy crackpot flunkies to twiddle the dials at DUmp Central.

A group of moles and loonies on the MIRT team banned Hollis.

I don't think the lad could really build anything more than a thousand, before the ban hammer pops him.
It's just not in him to remain quite, and observe.
