Yelp for People – Starting Today

Do you remember that woman was going to start an online service where you rate your friends a la Yelp restaurant reviews?  There was a big public outcry and I don’t think it ever started.

So I’m starting it today.

And here is the first review.

My Co-Worker Marcy.  Zero stars. (Imagine there’s a little logo here with zero stars filled in, I don’t know how to make that kind of thing.)

That’s right, I am giving absolutely zero stars to this person.  Everybody deserves to know what a tooth ache she is.  She walks around the office like a little rain cloud.  Everything she says is in nasal tone of derision and downer-ness.   When I see her coming toward my cubicle my heart sinks.

One time, she called a compulsory meeting and I told her that I would not be able to make it because I had a surgery scheduled.  She looked at me and she said “It’s a compulsory meeting.  If you don’t come, you will have your pay docked.”

“Maybe you didn’t hear me,” I said to her.  “I’m having sur – jur—eeee.  On my face.  I might die.”

“You’re not going to die,” she said.   “And anyhow, even if you do die, it’s a mandatory meeting.”

So what did I do?  Did I contact the higher ups?  Did I file a labor law suit?  I mean this is an obvious violation of labor law, isn’t it?  I don’t know.

I rescheduled the surgery.  How hard was that?  I guess it wasn’t that hard.  But really, did she have to be such a tooth ache about it?

Zero stars, Marcy.  Cause that’s the worst thing, but you’ve done about a hundred other unpleasant things. 

And finally you can be punished for them.

On Yelp for friends, co-workers and ex-lovers.

Starting now.

Feel free to contribute your own review below about the horrible people you know.  Or, I suppose you could put in a positive review about nice people you know, but I doubt anybody will read those.  This is going to be pretty much a site where the zero stars rise to the top.
