Probably both.

+1. This thread is supposed to be funny! And it is. By the way, I can think of 3 people that I have dealt with over the years that would only merit 1 - 2 stars, and I am 100% confident that others would agree with me. One of them is a client I had to fire and one was a crazy boss.

No, it’s not funny to joke about anonymously ruining reputations and professional careers based on arbitrary measures. My psychopathic ex used to make lots of “funny” jokes too and I’d try to laugh it off to be a good sport. I won’t anymore. THIS IDEA IS NOT FUNNY!

Lady, I'm not your ex. This is an actual joke and it's not about you, personally. It's about the general idea that sometimes I wish I could "review" people I encounter because "1 star, do not recommend" is a sick burn. You are personalizing this to a level that is unhealthy and my best advice to you is to take a little break from the internet.

You are really harassing me pre-holiday giddiness.

Lady, the fact that you think it’s funny to review people shows what a truly awful person you are. Sorry if someone on the internet is pointing out how devoid of any goodness your soul is. I’d worry more about that than pre-holiday giddiness.

Zero stars, no sense of humor, PP sucks

PP, you’re like the Jerry Springer of DCUM. Whenever I had a tough day at work or school I’d sit back a watch the trash on there and think “at least I’m doing better than they are.” And to you, I say thank you for making me feel good about myself by showing me that I’m a much nicer, kinder, thoughtful, more sensitive person than the sort who would think a yelp for people was funny. Bonus points because you think you’re funny and amusing when really you are just a petty, judgmental bully.

I always felt better about myself after watching the Jerry Springer show.

There actually WAS a Yelp for people . It was called Peeple. Started in 2015 and failed. Thankfully !

This kind of exists for us professors. It’s called RateMyProfessor and students definitely use it to decide whose classes to take. Some of what the students say can feel pretty personal. There used to be a hot or not chili pepper rating but the company removed it a while back.

I try not to look at it too often. Mine are mostly good, but students who are pissed off for whatever reason can be very mean just like people are on Yelp. Professors have very little recourse. If a student says something inaccurate, the website does nothing to take it down. I wish it would just go away considering students can access the actual university course evaluation data with their login info.

However, this thread was prompted by an interaction with a person who I feel confident would get a "consensus" vote for zero or one star from pretty much everyone who interacts with them, and it would be deeply satisfying for us all to be able to recount our frankly insane interactions with his person in a public forum. I think the screen shots of text and email exchanges with them, alone, would tell a story.

Like when you look up a restaurant on Yelp and all the photos are of the rats and roaches people spotted in the establishment, and every review is like "these are the rudest, least helpful people I've ever met and the food was inedible."

It would just be useful for other people to know.

Just curious. Are you an alcoholic? Are you obsessed with a neighbor's husband?

Nah, a website for this wouldn't work. By the time you looked them up, you'd already know they were a bad driver. We need some kind of scarlet letter for crap drivers. Like once you have a certain number of traffic violations, and car you drive has a glowing red dot over it so that we can all (literally) steer clear.

lol. That reminds me of Bill Engvall’s bit about how stupid people should have to wear signs. 😃
