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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

It's so often that people blame food poisoning. It's quite irritating. How does this person actually know their stomach issues were caused by it and not by a virus? Also, It's ridiculous to blame the restaurant for it and then to go online and post a horrible review after just ONE time of being sick after eating their food. If the OP had eaten there several times and got sick every time, then I might understand posting a bad review. But to do that after eating there once is ridiculous. The OP could ruin the restaurant by this. Btw, to the few people that have said that food poisoning takes days to show symptoms, that's incorrect. On medlineplus.gov, it says that symptoms will often start within two to six hours after eating contaminated food.

You can see for yourself at foodsafety dot gov under the symptoms tab. Many, not all, but many food poisonings take days to numerous weeks to show symptoms.

It's terrible you got sick but remember this place sounds like a mom and pop place not a large corporation chain with money behind them. While they shouldn't be harassing you maybe you can factor the possibility that maybe it wasn't the pizza? I would at least wait a week or two, then eat their food again. It sounds risky but it's not. I would at least get the free food and be adult about it because this way it kind of seems whiny of you because they're obviously so desperate to change your mind! If you had posted this on McDonalds, you most likely would have been contacted not by email but by phone soon. Theyd immediately offer a much more exorbient refund package, month of free meals etc. Then they'd probably not so subtly start throwing money at you while meanwhile they've already called their board of lawyers just in case of a fallout. This restaurant probably has none of that support. Now if it happens again then you can 4 SURE to spread the word, find out if other people have been getting sick. They should handle it a bit more professionally it's never okay to be harassed like that, at least order the free pizza and give it to someone on your Im mad at you list. :)

Report them to the local police for harassment.

Write another review saying that they won't stop harassing you and trying to bribe you with a free pizza. That may get them to realise how annoying they are
