I was just using ebay and looking over my feedback score. If you aren’t familiar with what ebay’s feedback scores are…well it is a rating system every ebay user has. For every transaction made, whether you are the buyer or seller, you leave feedback for the person you dealt with for that transaction. You can leave a positive, a neutral or a negative feedback score for the person, depending on how they dealt with either sending you the payment, communicating the details and/or sending you the merchandise. I have done about 23 ebay transactions and I have positive feedback through all of them. It kind of made me feel like a goody two shoes or something.
I was thinking wouldn’t it be funny if we had feedback scores attached to our lives…kind of like a credit rating, but it wouldn’t deal with money, it would deal with your personality and how you treat people. I think it would really help people who are dating, to really distinguish between the assholes who are fake and the people who are true and have a real heart. It would also be kind of funny…then again it would take a lot of fun out of getting to know someone.
That would be awesome. Plus, I think you’re credit score should work the same way. Something you could easily log into and see what people are posting about you instead of waiting for a report in the mail. I should be able to leave a feedback score for the companies I do business with. I think you have a golden idea here!
Oh good lord.. after calling the dude at the SF chronicle customer service line, a smarmy asshole, I dont think that my feedback would be good. He did sound hot when he got pissed off. HAHA
That could be potentially dangerous though. Because honestly, everyone’s an asshole in someone’s eyes. You don’t want to be labeled that and have everyone see it b/c they’ll just assume that b/c your ex who you broke things off with hates you for it, you’re a huge jerk, even though you think that breaking things off was the best thing to do. I feel I should specify that that was just a for instance because it sounded like I was recapping a bad experience or something. Hell, my exes may hate me but if they do at least I don’t know about it, or have feedback that everyone can see to constantly remind me of that fact. I think it’d make me a more paranoid ahole than I already am frankly… Plus negative feedback can snowball, especially if you can give feedback on anyone you’ve ever known, no matter how briefly. Dammit Chuck, I’m glad you don’t control the universe.
