people that YELP are scumbags

We ALL know who WOULD have been the perfect fit and that's our well-loved Amy K. She knows when to shoot and she knows when to step back AND she's a Yelper so she KNOWS us and is one of us so she never feels like an intruder or an outsider...she's part of the COMMUNITY. Not to mention she takes FABULOUS photographs and has done so for MANY MANY MANY Yelp events (Elite or otherwise).

what the fuck

they aren't even reviewing places anymore? just holding yelp events (where, what happens at them? waxing?) that yelpers can yelp later

I met Tiffany for the first time and while she was nice I just didn't feel the same genuinely welcoming and friendly vibe as in the past with the CMs. This is not at all to hate on Tiffany because I most definitely appreciate the event last night (although it needs to be recognized that this was originally planned by Dawson) I'm just noting the differences I felt.

yelp should fucking fire tiffany

that ~bitch~

scumbagssssssssssssssss

Yelp reviews of hospitals I have spent time at:

Yeah, so I don't like doctors or hospitals. I had to go to Cedars in December of 2006. I was blown away that a hospital could be so glamorous. No wonder celebrities deliver their kids at Cedars.

The first thing I noticed was the waterfall. The emergency room was spotless. I got a private room in the ER. The doctor looked like a hipster with a faux mohawk. Oh WeHo, I do love you so.

This hospital is anything but ghetto. This is the hospital of my choice and luckily close to my house and covered by insurance!

And:

At first the staff was completely unhelpful. The waiting room was dirty and people hated us, I'm sure. Who doesn't hate someone who inflicts their own pain?

Luckily I got to leave because our ride was taking us to my ride. I didn't return promptly and I didn't feel bad since they said only one of us was allowed in the room with her alone. Like I needed to sit in the waiting room with the others watching CNN, reading hospital magazines BY MYSELF. I drove and drove. L.A. is so friendly and empty at 3 am. I pondered life, mistakes, relationships. I texted my other friend some of my musings. Bad call.

She told me that I was being completely useless and to just go home if I was going to sit around (sit? I was driving our getaway car!) thinking about myself. So I got her some chicken nuggets from Wendy's on Sunset and told her she'd better come out to the waiting room.

It was still dirty when I returned and we devised a plan to get the hell out of there. Unfortunately the security guard wouldn't let me back in. "She's sleeping." Of course she is, that's why I needed to go and wake her up! We didn't come to an agreement, which forced my friend and I to sneak in another way. STAR EARNED! Although usually this would be a minus star for allowing easy access to the patients.

We tried desperately to wake our friend up, but she wasn't having it. So we rummaged through the cabinets in her room and found some sheets to stay warm. My sober friend warned me that a bitchy nurse would be coming in soon and that she would not like us. She also took our drunk friend's temperature up the butt. I enjoyed that immensely. STAR TWO.

People (and I use the term "people" loosely as I mean doctors and nurses and the like) came in and went. All of them questioned our sobriety and kept asking, "Does she have a sober person to drive her home!?" I commend them in their quest to keep everyone safe, but Geez. We had been there for four hours. My eyes were bloodshot because it was 6 in the morning and I hadn't slept. If I knew I seemed so drunk when I was sober, I wouldn't drink at all and just grab people's butts for fun.

The creepiest was this dude who took her blood. "Stay still sweetheart." Sweetheart? Very creepy, if you ask me. Like the situation of a passed out drunk girl he called sweetheart was not that unfamiliar to him...

Three lectures, 1 IV, five motivational speeches to our friend to get up, no stomach pumping, no alcohol poisoning, and no sleep later we were free at last!

The bill has yet to arrive, and I fear for my friend. That's going to suck.

Had this been a real emergency I would probably give this place more stars. Since it wasn't, they kinda hated us. We kinda hated them, which wasn't entirely their fault.

Who doesn't hate someone who inflicts their own pain?

can we hire some russian hackers to replace very yelp review with this

lol @ creep phlebotomist

"sweetheart" is hospital for "u dum slag" correct

nah, UDS is its own thing, like FLK

what

haha

FLK is old-school chartspeak for "funny looking kid"

it sounds awful---and is generally frowned upon these days---but ppl used to put it on charts to indicate some kind of follow-up. ie an FLK might look "syndromey" and may have never been diagnosed

like this is beyond my purview to diagnose, but ~someone~ might want to check this kid out

i didn't even pick up on what "UDS" could be in yr post, jeezis

haha

there are other funny/rong chart memes out there, too, if you want what might not be the most pleasant revelation of what some docs are thinkin about their patients

the ER ones can either be the funniest or the worst, given who and what passes through there

MDs got in trouble for this in the UK: one of the chart terms was NFN (Normal for Norfolk) and another was GROLIES (Guardian Reader of low intelligence, ethnic skirt).

whoa

man i am thinking of stuff like MOB (minding own business) when ppl get stabbed or w/e

British chart slang: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3159813.stm

holy shit at GROLIES

First to Review

i feel honored to write ghetto's first review. my fellow ghetto lovers will rejoice that it has a 5-star review! my group of friends commonly refer this place as ghetto chinese, but it is far from it in terms of taste and experience.

so how did i find this place? there used to be another chinese restaurant in the other plaza across de soto. i first ate there and it was like any other chinese fast food place. then my chinese friend told me to try the other ghetto one (abc express). so i did and i was sold.. and the name "ghetto" stuck as well.. hahah i let in a few coworkers on this place and next thing you know, when it hits lunch time, all you hear is, "ready to hit up ghetto?"

So heres the skinny. First of all, this place is really run by chinese people. very friendly. the food puts panda to shame, but is on the greasy-greasy side. i love the orange fried rice (yes its orange in color, but tastes delish!), fried chicken wings (if you get chummy with the servers, they really do pile it on), orange chicken (somehow tastes much better than pandas, must be the extra msg), beef n broccoli, and the all time favorite is the bbq pork.. mmm mmmm

it is fast food, so dont expect a nice sit down environment. On a funny note, i think this place used to be a former subway sandwich place. they have a neon light fixture above which reads "healthy fresh diet food" lol.. no joke. sadly there is nothing healthy fresh or diety about this place, but that's not what im looking for :-)

As thrilled as I was to see the new Target (can you hear me dragging that soft 'g' out?), open up on La Brea, the parking nightmare and lack of stock has driven me back to the og location on La Cienega time, and time again.

Of course I prefer having a shiny, clean, safe, more luxury experience at the newer store, but if they don't have what I'm looking for and I still have to pay for parking - talk about adding insult to injury - what's the point?

This store feels a lot like Target's red-headed step sister, but let me tell ya, she delivers. Time and time again, I've been able to find exactly what I was in the store for (including advertised specials and sales items) when they've been sold out all over town at the other locations. Another plus is the ample garden shop area - something you won't find at the "other" location either. And of course, there's parking. Easy, free, ample parking. Just as it was meant to be.

A point off to the ghetto factor that seems to pervade virtually every element of your experience here. Once you're prepared for it and over it (which, you generally will be after getting screwed some way or another at that "other" location), it's smooth sailin'.

Oh, and there's a Micky D's at the far corner of the parking lot. What better way to wrap up a g-h-e-t-t-o afternoon than with a Big Mac, fries and a shake?

Nothing "ghetto" about this area or "setup" at all. However if "ghetto" is synonymous with black for some of you, well here's to cracking your codewords. You'll see plenty of us around here. It's diagonal from the Lafayette Gardens housing project, near Pratt Institute, and directly across from the G train at Classon Avenue. It's also blocks away from Sputnik and Rustik which are relatively popular haunts.

The owners are extremely nice; they'll remember you, and it's dirt cheap in comparison to spots on Myrtle like Polish Bar. I recommend it highly, and have been coming here for years since they first opened.

I loooooooove this place! Don't let the ghetto area and set up fool you. The owners and employees here are very nice and do a good job with nails.
But the best part about it? TWENTY DOLLARS FOR A MANI AND PEDI! Where else can you find that but in Brooklyn! Also, it's very convenient for me (only about two blocks).
They do take on more customers than they should, so be warned that you may have to wait over an hour on busy days like the weekend.

The creepiest was this dude who took her blood. "Stay still sweetheart." Sweetheart? Very creepy, if you ask me. Like the situation of a passed out drunk girl he called sweetheart was not that unfamiliar to him...

W! T! F! project much?

People (and I use the term "people" loosely as I mean doctors and nurses and the like) came in and went.

Pros- Most authentic Filipino food restaurant in NY, very low prices, fast service.

Cons- The decor and ambience is awful and staff (some are Mexicans) are not friendly.

ugh

they don't even speak tagalog!

Google in talks to purchase scumbags

SAN FRANCISCO — Google is in discussions to buy Yelp, the Web site that lists and reviews local businesses, according to three people who had been briefed on the negotiations. The talks show how intently the biggest Web companies are setting their sights on the smallest neighborhood businesses, where they see a large and untapped group of advertisers.

Google and Yelp have not signed an agreement, the people said. The people would not disclose the proposed price, but one said it was more than $500 million.

Google and Yelp declined to comment.

The return of Yelp reviews to Google Earth would make me use Google Earth again, so I'm for this.

Good Vibrations

-------------------

Nice girls don't. . . Bad girls DO!

Right. Who made those stupid rules?

I walked into Good Vibes to pick up a couple of gifts for my friends because that is how much I love my friends. Can you fault me for wanting them to lead happier, healthier adult lives? I had to buy their big girl toys from somewhere mainstream where I knew if they had a question, they would not be ashamed to ask. Even better, if they wanted more toys, they could go to this place.

This store is well appointed with various lubricants, books, mild toys (strong emphasis on MILD), and a nice selection of luxury vibes. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. . . really helpful for the clueless. No, really. I hear people ask the craziest questions in this store. Body - everyone has one, master yours. This might be the place where you can get that all important education started.

Bonus Points for carrying Jimmy Jane luxury line of vibrators. I have the 24KT one thanks to this shop. . . and now so do a number of my friends. Well I didn't buy those novices the 24kt one but I did get them stealthy colorful Jimmy Jane vibes all the same! Faaabulous! I love giving the gift that just keeps giving . . . and giving. . . .and giving. . . and giving! ::laughing::

In closing - this is where good girls and bad girls DO. Clearly I am a bad, bad girl to tempt my good girl friends!

When I was a very small child, an old woman gave me what would become my favorite childhood toy. A green knitted bunny, whom I aptly named Bunny-Bunny. Well, for the past 20 years or so, I have had an unshakable fondness for bunnies. Love them and their twitchy noses and bizarre hops.

So imagine my distress when I see that there are dishes featuring Bunny-Bunny's family members here! WHY GOD WHY? I shook my fist, cried, vomited a little, then I ordered a Bloody Mary.

For those who don't know (and don't act like you don't) I'm a freaking boozehound, and a Bloody Mary is like the breakfast of champions. At 1pm. Our waiter was friendly and he talked us into trying jalepeneo-infused vodka, which wound up being an excellent choice.

The food was decent, too. Not as good as the drinks. I ordered the Chicken Milanese and it tasted wonderful, though it was almost TOO fried. Yikes. My dining companion ordered the sandwich of the day, which was a BLT. It scared me majorly, because the bacon was giant and fatty and salty. And this is coming from a bacon lover, so for me to be scared of bacon, you know it's some serious shit.

Later that night, I found myself here again for cocktails. The bartenders were pretty and nice. Save for the creepy leering man who had blatant disregard for the fact that I am NOT SINGLE, it was a great place to hang out.

In the daytime, this place is very light and airy. At night it's transformed into an artsy hangout. Either way, heck yes. Just please don't eat my Bunny-Bunny :(

who the fuck are these deranged, attention-seeking scumbags?

what's extra lol about that is the user's location is listed as seattle but the review is of a place in louisville

from a review of a local bar:

"I don't care much for drinking whiskey in bars. When I am in a bar I want to get drunk fast and easy."

UH

IRONING DO U SEE

who the fuck are these deranged, attention-seeking scumbags?

― on in the b.g. while you're grouting (stevie)

people who are considered the extroverted comedian in their small group of friends, and use sites like Yelp to take the show on the road. the real scumbags are the people who flag reviews like that as 'useful', 'funny', and especially 'cool'.

this thread title bothers me so much

people WHO yelp
