Today, I wrote a bad review for a pizza place after their pizza gave me food poisoning. Now, they won't stop calling me, begging me to take my review down in exchange for free pizza. I have tried to tell them that I wouldn't eat their pizza again even if I got paid to do so, but they won't listen. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I tried to write a bad review for the fast-food place at which I work part-time. My username made me anonymous, but I forgot to change my profile picture. Now my manager and coworkers won't even speak to me. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza online to be delivered to my apartment. After an hour of waiting, I called the pizza place to ask what the problem was. Apparently, the people at the apartment below me took my already paid for pizza and ate it. FML
Today, after 3 months of successful business at my restaurant, sales are down the shitter. Why? Because some no-life troll started posting loads of bad reviews online. He uses different names, but nothing in the reviews has ever happened. We can't get the reviews taken down. FML
Today, I was bitched out by a pizza delivery man. I didn't have the cash to pay him for a pizza I didn't even order. FML
Today, I posted a review, on a strictly anonymous site, about a doctor I went to see for my anxiety but who actually made me worse. A while later, the same doctor called my home phone, addressed me by my full name and threatened to sue me for slander if I didn't take down the review. All of which was 100% true. FML
Today, I got a letter from a hostel I stayed at saying they were going to sue me for leaving them a negative Google review. I was the victim of a $7000 theft crime there. They refused to call the police and ambulance when it happened, and they didn’t even give me my money I paid to stay there back. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza for delivery, and when it arrived, the box was completely empty except for a receipt and a piece of lettuce. I called the restaurant, and they insisted I must’ve eaten it all, and was just pretending. I took a picture of the empty box and the soggy piece of lettuce to prove them wrong. It didn't work. FML
Today, my parents told me not to make plans for dinner as they were bringing it home. Normally, that would be great but they brought home slop from some buffet that had just opened. Everything was greasy, too salty, or bland. I told them they could have it, and made my own dinner. Now I'm being called, "The Food Network critic." FML
Today, a man attempted to sue my business for giving him food poisoning. I make soap. When I called the cops on him for disturbing the peace, I was told, "Maybe next time you'll put 'not edible' on your label." FML
Today, I called Pizza Hut to order a pizza. A voice recording was reading me their specials. The man had a horrible country accent so I began to make fun of it. Then I realized it was an actual person on the line. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Either write another review saying how annoyingly persistent they are to get it removed, or report them to someone. **** it, do both.

Give it to me! I'll take my chances. Worst case scenario: I lose a few pounds.

Who are you going to report them too? the pizza God Father?

There is actually a pizza chain called God father's pizza. It naturally had a new york italian american mixed with mafia theme. I think it was actually started by some controversial politician I don't remember the name of... I do recall them not being Italian American though. But yeah... as such... There kinda is a pizza God father's out there.. OR rather.. there was... I think the chain went out of business. Don't the quote me on that though.

38, in today's world, when a place gets reviewed, it generally means yelp, which trying to alter or change reviews (or paying for reviews) is against yelp's TOU so they could report it to yelp and see what they do about it. They could report to the BBB, maybe, or corporate, if it's a chain.

Free pizza is a life goal of all, take the pizza.
sonasonic 34
Not when it gives you food poisoning tho.
sonasonic 34
Free pizza or a life sentence to serve the porcelain overlord. The choice is yours.

It's not one or the other, it's both or neither.

What?

And then get more food poisoning and give another bad review. And so the cycle of food poisoning and free pizza continues ad nauseam.

I understand and appreciate the pun lol
cootiequeen4444 11
pizza mind. peace of mind. To those who don't get it it. Though not sure it quite makes sense... you ain't gonna get peace of mind risking food poisoning over and over again...

Call a lawyer this is borderline harassment, you could get them shit down for this. That way they don't give anyone else any food poisoning.

That must be the most fitting typo, ever.
gracehi 33
I think it's well beyond "borderline" harassment.

I'm not sure if it's just a state law for Texas, but I know that if you give a bad review and the company doesn't agree with it they can actually sue you for libel. Granted, that's absolutely stupid, but most people will take down their review just to avoid going to court over something so petty.

Look up the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, it looks like you can charge them up to $500 every time they call, if you've told them not to call anymore.

Well you need to try to understand what a bad review can do to a small business. You also can't be 100% sure that you got sick from that pizza place, so take your review down and they'll leave you alone. That's not a hill worth dying on.

And you need to understand what free speech is.

It's pretty easy to figure out what made you sick usually. OP is entitled to give their review. The restaurant does not have the right to harass an ex customer no matter what the review said.

Do you work in this pizza place? It sounds like you are trying to convince people to eat at a place that can give you food poisoning and than harasses you until you take down the truth

You have probably caused that small business to have bad business now because you didn't bother to find out what was going on behind the scenes. Might not have been the pizza you ate. You might have choked on your attitude OP. Lmao
finalyearsofhate 22
OP also probably saved other patrons from getting ill. You do realize it's possible to die from food poisoning, right? They have a right to inform and warn others.
JustTheTruth42 13
Yeah that's no op's problem. If they believe the good made them sick they have a right to voice their opinion.

I had a car dealership harass me after posting a review. It's a pain. Tell them to contact your lawyer if they call again.

The same thing happened to me.
gracehi 33
I was getting harassing phone calls from one telemarketing company on the day I got my landline installed. They were literally calling me every thirty minutes trying to sell me a security system, even though I told them every time I already have a security system and couldn't install a different one because I rent and then told them, "Please put me on your 'do not call list.'" It really pissed me off because I was home sick that day and couldn't sleep because the constant phone calls kept waking me up. When I figured out it was the same company calling me over and over again I threatened to charge them with harassment. The calls stopped after that. Often the mere threat is enough, but I'm sure police officers or a lawyer showing up at their pizza shop would make an even stronger point. You shouldn't have to put up with that shit, OP. Don't.
