    Also you tend to read the 5/4 star reviews briefly and then skip it and read the 3/2/1 star reviews slowly and entirely.

    The exception is the troll reviews. We just skip it altogether.

    So … am I the only one who would have plucked the darts out of my face while I waited for the antidote?

    And did the darts change from one side of the face to the other?

      He did pluck the first two out, but right after they shot two more in the other side of the face.
      That or the darts are made of the same magic substance that Mickey Mouse’s ears are.

      Certain things are better left in because they seal the wound they make, and if they’re barbed the can’t be removed easily.

    That’s funny. It’s the first thing I do when i’m looking at stuff on Amazon and any other online store. Go to the review section and click on the 1 star review. Sometimes I do it even before I look at the product description.

    Yup. I also learned the hard way to also do a “[product] sucks” search on Google and Bing. Boy, ohh boy.

    OTOH, it’s a blast having Amazon ship water heaters. The manufacturers just put a thin cardboard box around ’em (NO PACKING OF ANY KIND) and then wonder why they show up at my door looking like they were the main target in an artillery barrage.

      according to a google search of “*sucks” pretty much everything sucks.

      Don’t forget to look for the xyzsucks.com website.

    Whoa. That was weird. It’s 1445 Eastern Time when I read this, and AMC is playing ‘Mad Max’.

    The key is to check the AVERAGE of the reviews. 4 stars is great, 4.5 stars is excellent, and 5 stars means it only has one review.

      These days high average usually means that the seller has hired someone to flood the page with 5 star reviews.
