Pictures of the World's Harshest Yelp Reviewers

San Francisco artist Jessica Wassil finds the anonymous cavalier reviewers on Yelp hilarious. And rightly so. Sometimes the grammatically-flawed, haughty claims of entitlement from these "experts" are completely ridiculous. An excellent restaurant's reputation can land an everlasting mar if one prolific commentator decides her Diet Coke has too many ice cubes.

On her new site Yelp Yack, Jessica illustrates with a stylish flair how she imagines these caustic critics to appear. Here is the Yelp "written by" the saucy ginger on the left.

"Are eggs really that difficult to prepare? i realize there are many styles but if you are a BREAKFAST establishment is it really that hard to get your eggs right?

i was on my way to an all day photoshoot and thought i'd eat a healthy balanced breakfast to give me the stamina.

my order was simple enough (or so i thought) 2 eggs over easy, wheat toast, cup of fruit.

my waitress didn't write down my order, which always makes me nervous when they rely on memorization... anyway, my breakfast came eventually and my eggs were clearly cooked WAY too long.

I told my server and she starred at the eggs for a while as if this was going to magically morph my eggs back to easy.

finally she told the cook and guess what? they were now barely cooked!! I wouldve cooked them myself but i was late for my shoot. I decided to screw it and ate the toast and fruit. The waitress was decent enough to give me a free orange juice... at least.

two stars!"
