Actually all his reviews are like this:

Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker -> One Star -> "Ruined my whiteboards"

Rotorcraft Flying Handbook -> One Star -> "The information is confusing and I ended up crashing the helicopter"


Jedi sarcasm. Amazon reviews is an interesting place to ply that skill.


Is this guy real? I'm not sure. I'm 50/50. I can argue a great case of both sides. Also, which is better? Somebody like him or somebody that would waste time putting up those reviews.



Funny. However, it's a sad reality that a lot of people lie on their interviews. HR processes sometimes fail to catch these and well... Here we have it.


Assuming the review is not fake: the company got what it deserved. That person could have been weeded out by a simple interview on a blackboard.


Sadly, while this review is probably fake, I've seen enough real world examples that make me sigh.


Regardless of whether this reviewer is real, the laughs were worth it.
