This is a review i found on Amazon while looking for a longer hose for my pressure washer.
"5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. Mega. Wow. Ultimate yes please. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2022 Size Name: 10M/33FTVerified Purchase I purchased this product to use. And I did when I attached it to my pressure washer.
I opened business deep cleaning slippers for the elderly as a large amount of my neighbours are either old or have feet. Some meet both criteria. In my first week I made £16 so I knew I was onto a winner.
Unfortunately I was cleaning a lady’s slippers, and she complained to the council because I’d forgotten to take the slippers off her feet and jet washed the bottom half of her body clean off. It was an honest mistake as she was very thin.
All in all it was great and then wasn’t but still is.

I wouldn't touch Amazon with a barge pole and anyone who complains about local shops closing down or services on the decline need to look at their buying habits
Rant over, I do like to read peoples reviews and the stuff some complain about . It gives me a laugh. Especially the ineptitude of some folk, which makes me wonder how they actually get on in life ?.
Most are probably in management I assume as they are quick to jump to conclusions, blame everyone but themselves and talk absolute crap.
There are some really good examples of humour like you posted though

Shops are closing because they don't stock what people want to buy. Last week I had to do a 60 mile round trip just to find a pair of trousers to wear for a christening. It wasn't that I was being fussy, it's that not one single shop in my town sold anything other than jeans, chinos and joggie bottoms. So that was £20 for the trousers, over a tenner in fuel and an hour and a half of my life to get just one thing that nowhere in my town sold.

Round here all the shops have closed down and just the big Tesco's morrisons and the like. All the small shops are now charity shops and have been for years. I blame the councils a lot of the time for charging so high rates on the small businesses. Anglesey has no big wages so less spending = no small businesses.

It started with big company supermarkets stocking "other goods". Out of town retail parks followed, and big business online companies .
Then the pandemic put the boot in but Bezos earned even more Billions just like big pharma. One of which "moderna" were about to go bust
Bezos is about to become the first Trillionaire but I suppose people like a bargain. Mind, Amazon can be quite a con if looked at closely.
The NHS will probably be the next to fold.
Well at least by going out to buy your pants you got what you wanted by seeing the product and trying them on. Better than getting a pair off Amazon and they turned up wrong size and poor quality unlike in the picture, otherwise you'd of had to go to the christening in your jogging bottoms
Mind you can still buy goods from normal shops online. Most of my radio gear came from Knights
