Prickly Pear
Thank you, Natalie G., AZ, AZ for your review of The Hungtingon Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, CA. Call me crazy, but if I'm going to wake up in the morning and drive directly to a location that is in another state, I'm going to call ahead to make a reservation. Or I would at least call to see if they're open, during which phone call, they would likely inform you that you need a reservation. A simple Google search would have sufficed. It would have le

So Helpful, Shari
Thank you (I guess), Shari W., for your “review” of Salazar Frogtown in Los Angeles, CA. OKAY SHARI, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TROUT? One out of five stars. See you next Tuesday.

Kar-ean Spa
Thank you, Jen W., Altadena, CA for your review of WiSpa, a Korean spa, in Los Angeles, CA. Quick question: Why do you think you're better than everybody else? Line to check in or out, we're all paying customers. If this is the attitude you're leaving WiSpa with, then you're doing it wrong. The only negative reviews should be about people getting each other off in the saunas or pubes in the hot tubs. I'm so sorry to everyone around you that day who had to take in your negativ

Wasted Time
Thank you, Allan D., Reno, NV for your review of Yellowstone National Park in the United States of America. Reviews of National Parks or any kind of nature are my favorite, because (and this might come as a shock) Mother Nature isn't scouring TripAdvisor for constructive criticism. So, who exactly is this review for? Actually, everything you've mentioned in here could be a perfectly appropriate, mundane journal entry. Have you considered this as something you might want to

Cut the Salt
Thank you, Leslie G., Urban Honolulu, HI for your review of Twenty Pho Hours (get it?) in Los Angeles, CA. I barely even know what to say about this other than, wow, Leslie! I don't think this is quite the compliment to the chef as you'd like it to be. " The food is delicious, but if you finish your plate, you will be in physical pain " isn't exactly a selling point. Given that this is your first and only review, I'm guessing it wasn't your New Year's resolution to become an

What a Year!
The year 2025 is about to come to a close, and what a year it was. As I sat in my rocking chair this morning, in my chilly living room, drinking a cup of Yogi Honey Lavender Stress Relief tea, I thought, instead of doomscrolling, I'd see what the people had to say about this supposed cure-all. Thank you, mariana, Pam Casteel, Dilvaney, 💰 Ms.Money bags💰, Mayra, and Breyona Coger, for your reviews and for expressing exactly what I feel. That being said, I will add, even thou

Does Someone Need a Hug?
Thank you, Matt S., Eureka, CA for your review of Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, CA. I hope everyone has a better Christmas than Matt S. had in 2022. Two out of five stars. See you next Tuesday.

I'm Tired
Thank you, Dan B., Chicago, IL for your review of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, NY. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT CHRISTIANITY ACTUALLY IS?! DOESN’T FUCKING FEEL LIKE IT. PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE THIS WORLD SOOOOOO EXHAUSTING. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Zero out of five stars. See you next Tuesday.

The Simple Life
Thank you, Bryan C., Franklin, OH for your review of Dutch Valley Restaurant in Sugarcreek, OH. I've been thinking about this review for quite some time - not since 2013 when it was written, but since I found it a couple of months ago - because there's something about it that bothers me. Maybe it's the one star, maybe it's the implication that old people don't have good taste, maybe it's that you wrote a review at all, maybe it's all of the above. So, I did a little research

The Bare Minimum
Thank you, Adrienne C., Overton, Birmingham, AL for your review of Hooters in Pelham, AL. Geez, I'm certainly not one to side with the Yelper, but this is actually the nicest you could ( should ) have been considering THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY SILVERWARE. This is like going to the bank and finding out they don't have any cash after you've already pressed withdraw. Bizarre to say the least. Adrienne C., you've attached a photo of said fork, which I'm sharing separately below becau

Minnie Makes a Pie
Thank you, Tom P., San Francisco, CA for your review of Popeye's in Las Vegas, NV. The help?! Have you ever seen the movie The Help ? Someone needs to bake you a pie. You deserve to be publicly booed. BOOOOOOOOOO. I hope your butthole is slightly itchy for the rest of your life. ZERO out of five stars. See you next Tuesday.

$$
Thank you, Joe Y., Flushing, NY for your review of Jakes 58 Casino & Hotel in Islandia, NY. Crazy idea here... if you have a gambling problem, perhaps any casino won't help with that? Though, according to my husband, this is a legitimate piece of information, as there are machines that eat your money faster than others. Which brings me back to my original point: If you have a gambling problem (or if you just like money - specifically having it), a casino probably isn't a goo

Peas Be With You
Thank you, Jeffrey H., Northridge, CA, for your review of IKEA in Hermosa Beach, CA. I hope that in the nearly three years since you wrote this review, you've found some peas in your life. Pun intended. One out of five stars. See you next Tuesday.

Grazie Mille!
Thank you, Timothy R., Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, CA for your review of The Italian Deli Co. in Pasadena, CA. Oh, Timothy, you have no idea what you've done. Or perhaps, at this point, you do. You've written one of those reviews that leaves a beautiful opportunity for someone to respond, and today it's not me! It's Gary C., Business Owner. Every artist has their muse, and on September 8th, 2025, you were the Ono to Gary's Lennon. I guess I can do nothing more than humbly thank

Hair is Everything
Thank you, Cheryl Nulik, for your review of Supercuts in Pasadena, CA. People should have to sign a waiver at the salon when they ask for bangs, agreeing to take full responsibility for how they turn out. Obviously, there are different levels of skill amongst hairdressers, but bangs are not for everyone. In fact, they're not for most people, and the decision to get bangs is usually made when mentally unstable. I would argue that adopting a dog is less of a commitment than ge

Great(ish) Expectations
Thank you, Stephanie, M., Waterford Township, MI for your review of the Paula Deen Store in Gatlinburg, TN. I recently opened a fortune cookie with the following fortune inside: Aside from the humor of knowing the writer of these fortunes has clearly had enough, I think you need to take a minute to think about the message. What exactly were you expecting? It's located near Dollywood, it's dedicated to a Southern TV chef, and she's known for using butter and being racist. I im
