Quoth smileyeagle1021 View PostThe second great complaint for them is that they are "violating the law" by not letting you bring your gun into the theater because "companies aren't allowed to restrict gun carrying". Umm, not to get into a debate on what gun laws should be, but I can tell you what they are in Nevada, and they explicitly state that any private property owner, including businesses, can set whatever rules they want on their own property in regards to weapons. The casinos made damn sure of that, they don't want an angry customer on a losing streak with a gun.
This pretty much guts a lot of the Concealed Carry thing. BUT any discussion should be taken over to Fratching.I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

Back on topic.
A couple of my favorites from recent weeks.
The lady who gave us all 1s because she hurt herself at the neighboring STARBUCKS, asked us for a bandaid, and we didn't fill out an incident report. Ummm, you told us you were on another business' property when you got hurt. Also, it's wedding season. Most of the time when I get a request for a bandaid, it's because a woman in high heels needs to cover a blister.
The second one was someone who flat out told me she almost never leaves her hometown ranting and raving about "false advertising." She booked through OrbiPricePedia and was mad her room didn't have a balcony. What's more likely, a site that handles millions of hotel bookings a day just happened to put your booking in wrong, or that you, the novice traveler, clicked the wrong button?
Then there's the whining about damage deposit. Yeah it sucks that we have to collect extra money because some (a minority) of travelers are going to damage a room, but them's the breaks. If you don't like our policies, you don't have to stay here. Don't scream that nobody told you. It's in the terms and conditions. Yes I know that most people just skim over those (I will admit to doing so for Google Play and other services) but you're handing over your card information to a company that can charge you for those towels you just put in your suitcase. Read the fine print. If you don't want to dig through those several pages of text, just call the desk.

I use a LOT of recipes that I find online. When I make any recipe for the very first time, I follow it as written. THEN I'll make modifications based on taste preferences. Gotta be careful though, there are tons and tons of recipes (and lots that get reposted all over the place) that the poster hasn't ever made, it just 'looked good'... but if you actually try to cook it, you discover that the recipe is inherently broken. I'm a decent cook, and I'm getting pretty good at spotting a broken recipe before I waste a lot of time and materials trying to make it.
One that made me laugh was a one star review for whipped cream frosting... Guy wrote (seriously) whole paragraphs about why the recipe as written wouldn't work- because whipped cream won't whip if there's any fat added... Um... dude, no. You're thinking of egg whites.You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense. The repo man gets paid to chase you. ~Argabarga

We once got a bad review at the supermarket (on Facebook I think... Maybe yelp) from a woman claiming all of our meat had to be bad. See, she purchased ground beef from us and instead of using it within the next day or two, kept it in the fridge for a week and it went brown.
Seriously, if you're not going to use it right away, most people freeze it.
Or the guy who complained that we need to check all of our watermelons and pull the "bad" ones because the one he picked up was rotten in the center. "You should know that and pull them!"
Unless we sliced them all open, it's not exactly feasible.
