Over on Reddit, u/vidbv has been shaking their head at a baffling review. Here’s how they described it –
The woman who bought a fake/prop phone expecting it to work, then left a one-star review.
Here’s the phone, very clearly labelled a dummy …
And here’s the review – clearly labelling its writer a dummy …
Reddit users stopped facepalming long enough to leave these comments.
I almost feel sorry for her. You have to be on an entirely different level of dumb to purchase a prop and not even realize it after it came. The_True_Chillager
Lead poisoning is a cruel mistress. mybreakfastiscold
I worked in tech support and returns management for 2 years. This is normal. You have these people one or twice a week. And they claim it’s all your fault that they didn’t read the title. fntstkr
I wish you could comment on Amazon reviews stacker55
When an iphone 12 costs $15 you need to be a moron not to know what it is. cmon_now
Thank god the tech savvy grandkids were on hand to rumble this scam. TheBaggyDapper
“Non-Working” yup, that obviously means it can take photos. riiiight. donthateonspiders
Every time I begin to think that humans might actually be beginning to show signs of true intelligence, I see shit like this. nlucis
CitizenTed gave us a comedy interpretation.
“I just bought the fake rubber nose with glasses. I realize they are just rubber but I was hoping they would at least serve as a pair of readers. Instead, the rubber glasses have no glass at all! How can they even call them glasses? I’ll be returning for full refund. 1*.”

Just note that the Silver Passport doesn't grant access on fireworks nights — you'll have to pay extra at the gate.</p><p>However, you don't need a ticket to enjoy the fireworks from public viewing areas. Many Montrealers set up along the Old Port, across the river in Longueuil, or along the shoreline of Parc Jean-Drapeau. The Jacques-Cartier Bridge is a classic spot too, but remember — it closes to vehicles at 8 p.m., so make sure you're on foot or bike if you're heading up there.</p><p>A quick heads-up: organizers have warned that smoke and dust from the shows may affect people with respiratory or cardiovascular sensitivities. If that's you, it might be worth keeping a mask handy or watching from a greater distance.</p><p>For the full schedule and more info, you can visit <a href="https://www.laronde.com/larondefr/linternational-des-feux/program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">La Ronde's official site</a>.</p><p><em>Love this?
