What compels a liar to leave a review anchored in complete BS? Is it boredom? Lack of self-respect? A misplacing of exercising common decency? I couldn't tell you. What I do know is that these 10 lying reviewers that tried to stain upstanding establishments with negative accounts of utter fiction, got properly called out.

Pro Tip: Delete this stupid video ASAP, CNBC. We don't know what they were thinking on this one. It looks like they're advocating we all save money while eating out, by shorting servers on their well-earned tips. Hmm. Who was in the writer's room for this video? What a mess.
These pizza delivery drivers have seen it all; they've seen the darkest sides of humanity. It's as if a pizza delivery driver is a guardian angel of sorts. They show up to bring hot steaming boxes of pizza to the lost and burned out souls, who might've needed someone to check in on them more than the actual pizza. The following stories are pretty gnarly. You might walk away from this list, with a different appreciation for all the messed up kinds of madness a pizza delivery driver has seen in their time.

As we all know, certain restaurant chains will give you a free meal if it's your birthday. This dude upped the ante by visiting as many places as he could. The results are...here.
These fans got to live down moments stolen out of their dreams, in reality. To meet a celebrity you've potentially idolized in your head, is to come face-to-face with the moment that you realize they're an artist with a cultivated talent in their craft, but also a human being just like yourself. From there, it's up to them how they act outside the script, or song, or blank page, or canvas. And it could be nothing more than what you view as rude douchery. Or, they end up being an outstanding individual of tremendous character, that leaves you that much more inspired. These fans got lucky with their celebrity encounters!
Waiters and waitresses have that outside-in perspective when it comes to you entering their domain, to take a chance at meeting someone for your first date. Those sporadic conversations you have with your date, consisting of information you'd already know if the other person was a consistent part of your life, are a giveaway. But at the same time, things aren't always as they appear. Maybe you're reading this as someone who's in a loving relationship, and realizing you might look like you're on a first date with your partner, every time you guys go out!
Every time we post one of these it makes us think that there are no legitimate reviews out there. Does anyone every just have a good sandwich anymore? Is it all just angry liars with an axe to grind? Anyway, it sounds like whoever's idea it was to open a diner next to a diner is bound to be a few sandwiches short of, well, a diner.
BorboaGrant's coworker accidentally let some ranch slip and got doused with the sauce. They even got the security footage to prove it. We say yes to this dress...ing.
Lying customers are hellbent on ignoring the inevitable callouts from restaurant owners, when they take to their online review scribblings. They're hurting the image of the business, and people's ability to experience potentially kickass service and/or food. The vigilance of truth-defending restaurant owners is deeply appreciated in this case.
Lord help the customer service representative who has to deal with the customer who thinks they're always right. These stories are a mixed bag. Sometimes the insane customer gets their comeuppance, and sometimes they just benefit from their frustrating behavior. If you wanted to read more manager stories, then here you go.
Sometimes the fine print won't even help you. These immoral businesses tried to swindle customers with misleading bait and switch tactics, as well as comically strange lying strategies. We could give them credit for being clever, but we don't want to.
In times of doubt, check the tapes. The internet is brimming with fake reviews, as well as wonderful responses from the companies themselves. What we haven't seen is someone give such a detailed, minute-by-minute account of the reviewer's visit. This is some very thorough destruction.
Let us never forget the time that Chipotle taught a girl who thought herself a practicing vegetarian, that Chorizo is in fact MEAT. Yes, the Fail-appreciative side of me needs to believe that this is authentic ignorance, and not staged dumbness for some viral feedback on Twitter. Hell, I mean, Chorizo was a pretty good first choice...
It's no secret that Wendy's brings down the brutal hammer of ultimate social media sass, on anyone who dares subject themselves to their heat. Today is a special day. It is National Roast Day and the following collection of people teeing themselves up to get sh*t on by Wendy's for the rest of Twitter to enjoy, is better than anything they could put on their menu.
KFC turned up the heat and took things from 0 to 100, in response to a spicy little tweet from Mr. George RR Martin. You could say the wave of jaw-dropping reactions speaks to just how much none of us saw this particularly dark-humored tweet coming. Hot damn, indeed. We just hope Energizer Bunny's alright. But the lack of a pink-colored furry rug is encouraging!
