People Named Colin And Tracey Found To Be The Biggest Complainers

There's one name that comes to everyone's mind when it comes to people who complain.

But it appears you might need to change your thinking when in this situation because there are two new names in town that have been found to be the biggest moaners.

Psydro, the world's first social review platform, has peered through thousands of UK reviews from the last 18 months to see who manages to always find a problem.

The company discovered it was Colin and Tracey who topped the male and female lists.

Interestingly, Karen didn't even pop up in the top five female names, with Sue/Suzanne, Vicky, Wendy and Caroline taking the cake. In the male category, Greg, John/Jon, Ian and Martin came after Colin.

They were found to be the most common names who left one or two star comments on review websites.

Tony Ward, founder of Psydro, said: "We might be being a little bit tongue-in-cheek here but at Psydro, we're committed to ensuring that the customer has access to the most transparent, honest and helpful reviews.

"So despite the negative connotations of being a complainer, a bit of a thank you does need to go out to every Tracey and Colin, for making other customers aware of potential issues with a product or service so they can spend wisely."

This is an interesting development considering last year there were two very different male and female names that were on the top of the list.

UK comparison site Uswitch sorted through Tripadvisor's comments section to tally up the names of people who like to complain.

Kim and Paul were the top female and male names on that list, followed by Karen, Susan, Sue, Sarah, Julie, Emily, Claudia, Anna, Rachel, David, John, Mark, Andrew, Steve, Michael, Peter, Jeff and Daniel.

Uswitch focused primarily on some of the world's biggest tourist attractions, rather than a specific restaurant or area.

Paris' Eiffel Tower is the most complained about famous landmark on Tripadvisor, attracting 17,000 negative reviews. Apparently, that's the equivalent of 402 hours' worth of time typing up an angry response to seeing the beautiful attraction.

That was followed by Rome's Colosseum, London's Big Ben, Egypt's Pyramids of Giza and New York's Statue of Liberty. The Sydney Opera house also nabbed a mention on the list and is the seventh most complained about location.
