Argos shoppers in hysterics over unexpectedly 'rude' curtain review

A five star review left on a pair of Argos blackout curtains revealed a little more than some shoppers were expecting.

On sale for £15, the description reads: "Need a nice dark room to get a good night's sleep?

"Yep, so do we. That's why we love this pair of blackout curtains. They're fully lined to keep light out, making sure you get a decent rest all year round."

They are rated four stars out of five from more than 1,400 reviews, which range from one shopper branding them 'brilliant curtains' - to the inevitable one star review, which states another customer was so unhappy they returned them 'within an hour'.

But one review - left by a shopper who goes by the name of 'Justbeinghonest' - has left people in stitches.

It reads: "These blackout curtains are great, especially when you wake up next to someone you wish you hadn't, you can't see anything."

All we know about the reviewer is that they're aged between 55 and 64 and live in Margate.

The curtains are on sale for £15 (Argos)

A screenshot of the work of art was posted on Reddit with the caption: "Wasn’t expecting to read this in the curtain reviews."

One person replied: "The age makes it."

A second added: "Not to pre-judge, but I firmly believe that due to the age, the 'someone' they wish they hadn't woken up next to is their husband/wife."

Another person added: "I can never work out if Argos reviews are all satire, or if the people who write Argos reviews are genuinely like that."

You can buy the curtains for £15 on the Argos website now.
