2022
As you all holistically agree one way or another, the 'Questions and answers' feature on Google Maps has been met with mixed success. As ideal as it may have sounded and thought of at the beginning of its inceptions, legitimate reviews have unfortunately made its way into the form of questions, complaints, comments and plenty of undesirable content have funnelled well into the eyes of potential customers, and the inherent dullness that puts Google Maps users and even Local Guides into light is discouraging for several different parties.
It's pretty sad how we would've expected the questions like we saw in the feature announcement as "What are the must-see special exhibits?" and instead get something completely stupid like "goirla imt", "Dangerops prangent? Will it hurt baby top of its head?" or whatever what that means. I have read many Google My Business owners who have even requested to turn off the feature, I'm pretty sure that's easily doable though, but for the interim, it's interesting to see how the general population uses the questions and answers, should've used it for some sort of social studies.
Inspired by Lucio's Review and awareness post, I thought it would be a little bit of an icebreaker just to give a few laughs or chuckles. Here I will compile a whole bunch of ridiculous, dumb, strange, and funny, yet all real questions that people have actually asked, and even to an extent some of the strangest answers and trends that somehow people could even slightly think of! I can assure you I have reported probably 90% of questions that get asked whenever I get the notification that someone has a question about a listing, that most likely I haven't visited.
These are real questions and answers asked on Google Maps listings
