This guy left a petty one-star review but ended up making a grovelling apology

We live in an era of ratings. Members of the public can rate restaurants, products, dogs, films …anything, so it’s no surprise that some reviews aren’t worth the pixels they’re made from. When one man gave a business a one-star review out of nothing more than pettiness, he ended up eating his words, and this is how that happened.

It began with a simple enquiry about a job.

It’s unfortunate when a business has to pass on work due to lack of availability, but people understand and don’t mind, right? Not this person.

David seemed oddly offended.

Abs did their best to apologise, but it didn’t seem to help.

Even the poor guy who’d referred David to Abs’ business got a bit of flack.

When David threatened to post a one-star review, Abs’ patience began to wear thin.

And David clearly wasn’t amused by Abs’ sense of humour, so he made another threat.

Abs took that in his stride.

As he had threatened, David left a one-star review without actually using the business.

However, David didn’t realise he’d overlooked something important, and when Abs posted a link to the charity work he would be busy with over the coming weeks, it painted a very different picture, causing David to make an embarrassing flip-flop. He deleted the bad review and wrote this one:

Now, that’s some spectacular backpedalling – and Abs proved gracious in moral victory.

This must be practically unique in the history of internet spats.
