What is the opposite of a shill? This person is a bad version of whatever it is...

    I was ringing for a taxi last night and found this hysterically funny at 2am... :)

    I reckon the fella who wrote this review is the opposite of a shill i.e has an agenda. The reason for this is it a bad review, but imo is completely (and hysterically) unbelievable i.e. he just went too far.

    Here's the review:
    Terrible. The driver was intoxicated and could not even manage to exchange a twenty euro note for two tens. Incapable of following simple directions, strong odour in car. Thankfully only short journey, would not use xxxxxxx taxis again!


    :D
    So when I was booking the taxi I was like, hi do you charge extra or less for your intoxicated drivers?
    (Well in my head I was like that, irl I was like, hi can I get a taxi please)

    I can't tell you what the opposite of a shill is, cos I have no idea what a shill is...

    A troll?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Did they tell you to sod off and hang the phone up?

    Post edited, I didn't really say that to them :o

    I thought the review was just so funny! And obvious that the person had some kind of agenda.
