makes sense given what I sort of have to assume "Chigga" is supposed to mean

"My fiery hunger pangs was withholding me down that I did not take a photo. "

A Brooklyn, New York based catalog company that sells unusual wine tools and home decorum furnishings that serve practical uses which are witty novelties. In my continual mission to eradicate junk mail I am adamant to remove my name and address from their mailing list, the service representative is dismissive and callous with her tone. "What is your name and email?" I started to spell out letter by letter very slowly using NATO alphabet when suddenly this representative abruptly interjected with a rude callous: "don't do it that way! Why can't you just tell me the email and your name!!" Whoa. Such a dismissive callous response. She immediately hang up the phone like she was fleeing for her life from a deathly plague. Is this how a business properly treat customers??

I only spell use NATO phonetic alphabet for the B, M, and N in my last name since those are the hardest to get over the phone, esp b/c people hear B for V all the time

"home decorum".

all the letters sound like 'tango', right? bango, mango, vango, etc

"Equus is a drama play that focuses on a boy with severe mental health problems with a violent past that leads to destruction and nudity with sexual acts. Scanning the audience I've notice mostly were women who only attend this play (with no true interest in theater nor appreciation in performing arts) primary to see Daniel Radcliffe go nude. With a male friend, we were engross with the story line of a young adult boy who works on a farm tending horses. This play is entirely fictional and comprises of appalling scenes which are very distributing and yes, the boy undergoes intense psychiatric treatment. Actors smoke on stage, yes, both Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths smoke."

I cannot stop, here is her review of the United States Postal Service:

"Postal clerks appear robotic and generally disgruntled. I arrived walking through the ropes in hopes to be second in line to wait fifteen agonizing minutes to be served. Suddenly a woman out of nowhere blurted out (not standing properly in line between the ropes) coarsely stated "I'm next!" as she purposely wanted that clerk to serve her specifically in Spanish. Ergo, I had to go back to the start waiting for another fifteen minutes with only three clerks on duty. Standing there I felt very dizzy carrying a 5 lb. box that I nearly fainted onto the ground as it was hot and the air was not circulating sufficiently. I had to return a item purchased online from Forever 21 due to sizing issue.
USPS: "How fast do you want it to get there?"
Me: What are the options? What is the difference between the speed?
USPS: "HOW FAST DO YOU WANT IT TO GET THERE???!!!? DO YOU WANT IT TO GET THERE NEXT WEEK???!!!" in a very abrasive and coarsely tone
Me: Next week is fine.
USPS: "Do you want it insured?"
Me: How much can I insure it?
USPS: "WHAT IS THE ITEM WORTH?" in a very vulgar tone
Me: About $18.00, no I decline the insurance.

Whoa, such abrasive tonal attitude!! A booklet of Harry Potter stamps was on the counter... Accio Harry Potter stamps!! I'm a proud Philatelic and also a huge Harry Potter fan which, of course, I purchased the Harry Potter First Class Forever stamps."

Accio Ergo

10PM Friday, September 5, 2014
Queens, New York

Excessive bleeding in dark brown blood color. Severe pelvic pain. Ushered by cab to emergency room. Signed in, waiting to be seen by Triage Nurse.

11:45PM Friday
Queens, New York

Waiting for an eternity to be seen by Jamaica Hospital's Triage Nurse. Emergency Room extremely too noisy with children running amok, chatty patients with their family/friends and loud clicking on cell phones.

12:30AM Saturday morning (next day)
Queens, New York

Questioned by Triage Nurse who is extremely distracted and unfocused by surroundings. Triage nurse took my blood pressure, EKG reading, body temperature, inquired my height and weight. The woman cannot uphold a serious discussion with a patient for a mere solid five minutes. Triage nurses in the Emergency Room are all engrossed to care for patients and appears short hand, thereby, utterly disgruntled with their workload they fend off unpleasant negative attitude to severely ill patients who require immediate medical attention. Waiting to be examined and questioned is the longest ordeal when you are in dire pain. I explained my physical state of being and the level of intense pain, which this Triage Nurse dismiss me without inputting my symptoms and explanations in their computerized patient log for a proper diagnosis. Subsequently then, I registered with Jamaica Hospital with name, address, D.O.B., complete their blue legal consent forms, external appeal blue consent forms, and insurance details at a registration window. (O Dummy care system put into actual usage here, which Jamaica Hospital thankfully, do not deny). Continued to spew heavy flow blood clots and destroyed my undergarment. Aija!!! I am in severe pelvic pain. Waiting room of emergency room still noisy with children running amok, chatty patients with their family/friends and loud clicking on cell phones continue throughout the night. Requested for two feminine hygiene pads as I continue to spew heavy flow. Color of blood is now normal, bright red. The security is minimal for this NYC operated hospital especially during the wee hours of the night.

2:30AM Saturday morning (next day)
Queens, New York

Moved to Gynecology Department, waited, waited, and waited for an eternity to be seen by Gynecologist. No immediate action taken by Jamaica Hospital.

3:30AM Saturday morning (next day)
Queens, New York

Dumped urine into a cup. Very bloody.

4:20AM Saturday morning (next day)
Queens, New York

Gynecologist performed pelvic exam with speculum while excessive blood continue to flow with huge blood clots. Withdraw blood in two vials to insure iron, calcium, potassium count levels are not low.

5:30AM Saturday morning (next day)
Queens, New York

No result from blood tests from lab. No result from urine test. My family member cannot stand sitting and waiting in the main emergency room waiting area any longer. She urgently requested answers to calm her nerves because she was not holding up well. Other patients and their families/friends in the main emergency waiting room also complained about the waiting time and the lack thereof medical help. This is the so-called "great American healthcare system" from the most advanced country in the world with the most available resources!! Pain cannot be ignored as it is serious business and proper medical treatment is required.

6:05AM Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014
Queens, New York

Discharged from Jamaica Hospital with a vague diagnosis of "abnormal bleeding" with written explanation in lay men language. I received a written testament to see a Gynecologist ASAP. A recommendation is given with address/phone number affiliated within Jamaica Hospital, an outpatient women's health clinic. No further action taken.
Was this review …?

Excellent use of the yelp review.

place sounds cool, would hang there tbh

yeah how is that not a 5-star review?

Think if they had gotten him an ice cream cone too it would have been 5 stars

ya missed opportunity imo

We don't know enough... Yelpers are awful at nonverbal cues and social behavior in general, I can totally imagine the staff trying to make eye contact on the way out, but customer was knee deep in yelping the last place they went, and/or adjusting fedora details, and missed the whole deal.

For this being the national wildlife visitor center, I really wasn't impressed. The center itself is a decent-sized building. The exhibitions did indeed give an overview of wildlife throughout the nation. Fun interactive displays for kids, not a ton of depth. They had a conference center attached, which I imagine is a very nice venue.

However, the grounds didn't do much for me. They're centered around two lakes, and there are no natural lakes in Maryland. In parts, there were concrete edges, and even a spout of water in the middle of one of them. Not very natural. The trails around the lakes weren't great; there was a floating boardwalk that was closed due to being "unsafe" and a bird blind with a nasty-looking wasp nest inside. The bugs were unpleasant, but I didn't see much in the way of larger wildlife. The views from the trails I tried weren't special.

Offshoots of the trail were closed for research purposes (fine), but there were also areas for hunting and fishing. Really? Is that the message we want to be sending at the national wildlife visitor center? That killing the wildlife for recreational purposes is a good idea? I know that many parks allow these things, but they shouldn't, and it's particularly inappropriate at this one, which is a wildlife sanctuary, research area, and educational venue. Find some other way to deal with overpopulated deer.

There might be some positives here, and I suspect the tram ride that I didn't do is nice, and it's a free educational place to take groups of children (though I would steer kids clear of any kind of hunting activity). But as a venue for wildlife observation and hiking, it isn't really worthwhile to drive this far. If you're in DC, Rock Creek Park is better in all respects. If you're elsewhere in the area, there are some much nicer places that are on the Bay and its tributaries, not on a fake lake.

I guess this can probably go here

We chatted with an employee at the restaurant, who says the walkout occurred after back-to-back incidents with rude customers: one party refused to pay their bill after deeming the food "too spicy," while another cursed at the owner.

Lmao white ppl

i wish i knew a serial yelper so i could become close enough friends with them to be invited into their home and then yelp their home and also their personality

That how's life one about the nature center is reminding me very much of the early-thread one described by amateurist as "i think it's hilarious that despite every evidence that she is at a chinese restaurant, the reviewer persists in believing she is at a japanese restaurant and rates accordingly."

the early-thread one described by amateurist as "i think it's hilarious that despite every evidence that she is at a chinese restaurant, the reviewer persists in believing she is at a japanese restaurant and rates accordingly."

I found that one and I demand my fair credit

hahahha, yes, indeed

guess it's about time i reread the whole thread again, can't wait for the one abt the person having a panicky meltdown and running away in fear because the hostess said ''where would you like to sit'' or w/e

wait, isn't that one from madison, wisconsin! i found that one! but... maybe there are TWO?

Checked it - eephus was the original block-quoter there.

i know it's only a year and a half old but i just have to repost this one from roxy which i was just alluding to, since it took me so long to find it

Wow, way to make me feel awkward....

I walked in shortly after five on a Monday afternoon, hoping to get a quiet drink or two, maybe an appetizer, and get a feel for this place. I was there less than two minutes, but a feeling I certainly got...!

I was there long enough to see the interior layout. It's very "urban chic", with black and white photos, plenty of wood, ceramic, and stainless, and an attractive open kitchen.

Still, the single adjective that stands out most to me is "cramped". I opened the door and nearly walked into a couple conversing with the hostess (?), and the whole place looked like it should hold about 10% fewer people than they had seats for. Really, it's East Nashville, guys, not Manhattan. Anyhow, another employee said a quick "hello" to me, then asked my name. Being slightly disoriented, I told her my last name, but I couldn't imagine what good it would do her. She asked if I had a reservation, and I said no, still confused why a reservation might be necessary for a single person arriving at 5:10pm on a Monday afternoon.

Anyhow, I told her I'd never been in and asked about the seats ringing the kitchen. She told me they were reservation only, but pointed me to the bar, where, she said, seating was open. Alright, well, so far, pretty normal. . . .

The bar though had eleven seats in a tight squeeze that looks like it would be very cozy holding nine. There was one seat clearly holding a patron's purse, and another where it looked like someone had recently departed. I hopefully moved toward the bar, but found it incredibly difficult to navigate the small channels between the tables/bar/stools (I'm really not a big person!), and saw I was getting no help or attention from any of the patrons, the bartender, or the (hostess? manager?) who had originally spoken to me. Still, I probed at the area, hoping to get some indication that I would be able to use one of the two ostensibly open seats. After a moment or two of negative response, I turned (carefully!) for the door.

What I find most odd is that the same woman who had spoken to me upon entering (and assumed I had a reservation), said "ok, see you later" in a mildly condescending tone, with what I took to be an attitude that I should have known better than to dare come in at 5pm on a Monday with no reservation - The Horror!

It wouldn't have taken much to do a number of things that would have given me a MUCH better, so soooo essential, first impression: she could have apologized that I didn't see a place I liked; maybe asked me kindly to return some other time; she COULD have helped me to access one of the two clearly open seats; hell, she could have at the very least *SMILED* when she dismissed me out the door!

Eh, it all gave me a very sour feeling, and it's going to make it harder for me to start with a fresh slate ever I finally dine here, but I'll do my best.

Please, Lockeland Table, pleasepleasePUHleeee­eezze don't be like Pharmacy...we don't need another place to make fun of in this neighborhood.

just sums it all up for me, although thread would not be complete without "You don't really see a sunset over the harbor."

http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2014/09/17/richmond-restaurant-owner-encourages-bad-yelp-reviews/

I didn't get to try the coffee or any other products. Had, I, I may give 1-2 more stars. That being said, I did go in as they were closing and was received by really rude staff members.

I was supposed to meet a coffee date there and wasn't wise enough to check the hours. The door was open, I walked in, and they said "sorry, were about to close." I said, oh ok, well then I guess we'll find a different place, do you mind if I use the washroom." After this, things we're quite perturbing. The barista was hesitant and said I would have to buy something, but he'd ask the manager. He asked the manager and she said "nope, youd have to buy something." I told that that I fully intended to buy something, I went their with a purpose, that being said, they're basically closed, couldnt I just use the washroom for a second. She replied curtly "no." I found this rude and bothersome.

I walked out thinking "wow, so like do they just have a really old vulnerable bathroom and they know after like three more flushes that gaskets or whatever is gonna blow and they'll have to call an emergency plumber?"

I didn't realize it at the time, but the place isn't really a good place to sit and chat, but that's not their thing and I learned when I walked in.

So the coffee may be great, and maybe the other staff is great. But the two people I encountered, especially the manager, provided possibly the poorest customer service I have ever encountered.

4 1/2 stars, seriously?!? I stopped in last night to get a taste of what folks were talking about...I was very disappointed. Ok, first off I ask specifically for a Coors light in a bottle when I ask for a small Asahi and they tell me bottled beers only come in one size. I assumed they meant large so I figure a 12 oz bottle will suffice, I'm driving. The girl shows up with a glass of beer. I don't like glasses in restaurants I don't know (trust), so I never see the bottle and don't really know where my beer comes from, give people what they ask for! Then I order the yellowtail (Hamachi) and fatty tuna (Toro) sashimi. I get what looks like pretty nice yellowtail and what is basically lighter red tuna; Huh? Let's get somethong straigh, lighter colored tuna does not Toro make. This told me everything I needed to know, I regret not asking for the check at that point. No disrespect to the good people of the greater Annapolis area, but if you don't press the obvious Korean owners of this Japanese style eatery, they'll apparently serve you anything and charge for what they say it is, not matter what you're getting. Toro ain't cheap, but I love that marbled butter more than anything in a sushi joint, don't lie to me! Truth be told, it actually wasn't bad tuna and the yellowtail was not bad, but that loving feeling I was hoping for was growing cold most riky-tik. I figure the fish quality isn't bad so I order a Rainbow Roll (Cut style roll), hold the shrimp; chef says "no problem", ok! The roll comes, looks kind of small but yellowtail, salmon and avocado look bright and fresh, so I'm good. Then, I do the bullshit check and sure enough, in the crab capitol of the world there's imitation crab in the middle of my roll! Imitation crab, is not crab, it's the leftover crap that's soft when they fillet off a fish, it's the crap that falls on the floor, the waste! They cook it down, compress the hell out of it in the process and then add red food dye on the outside so when they slice it up it has a crab appearance, hence, imitation crab or as I like to call It: BULLSHIT! I know most places do it and most people don't care, I guess I'm not most people because proper and quality ingredients are what makes sushi expensive, and what I expect. I'll gladly pay, just don't lie to me. I go to Koi in Seal Beach Ca, almost exclusively, we've been going there since 1994. The head chef has educated me over the years. That's another thing, who are the no personality "helpers" behind tbe sushi bar?!? No attempt at rapport, just staring at me and asking, "It's good?", really?!? They never moved from their spots; move dude, either engage me, find out what I might like so I 1) have a better social dining experience and 2) if done right, I'll gladly give you more of my money! Amateur hour, no thank you Nova, you're a No-Go ...if in a pinch, I guess, but there has to be a true Japanese sushi house around Annapolis that believes in a true Japanese sushi experience...where?!?

Unfortunately, very little gluten free items. Only one to my knowledge. So, if you are Gluten intolerant DON't eat here. Their Nori isn't gluten free, at least that is what a was told by the lady who answered the phone.

scumbag yelp review with a gooey, racist center!

I don't like glasses in restaurants I don't know (trust)

Let's get somethong straigh

xp: yes! that was my favorite line. Also

I am only interested in a true Japanese sushi experience, so I ordered a Rainbow Roll.

Oh I just read kkcgs post

If that's Joss on Main Street, it's one of the best places on the east coast, and the last time I was there it really was full of dumb dumb tourists eating California rolls.
