Not sure if this is true, though it amused me....

This was sent from Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guests' complaints during the season.


"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."

"On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."

A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".

A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

"The beach was too sandy."

"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."

A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."

"We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (Β£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."

"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."

"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."

"I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."

"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?" Laugh Thumbs Up

"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."

"We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."

"It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

"I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."

"My fiancΓ© and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

i stayed in a hotel for a whole season once and the amount of british tourists that moan like CRAZY about the continental breakfasts is amazing !!!! i mean what is there to moan about? there is bread, eggs (boiled) jam, butter, fruit, etc ...Surely you can cope with at least a couple of things off that, why does everything have to be fried Disappointed

Gypsie, I swear I used to work in Travel and not a word of a lie, a couple wrote in complaining that...wait for it....

1. The Sea was too 'choppy'...and

2. The sand kept blowing into their Apartment!!!

Idiots!!! Laugh


Laugh nut jobs !


Veering off the subject slightly, I worked at 'M' Supermarket many years ago, people wrote in with the following complaints :

1. The Cherry on her Bakewell Tarts (Mr Kipling 6 pack) wasn't central!

2. There were only 99 cotton buds in the box as opposed to the 100 (approx) that should've been there!!!

The mind boggles!!! Laugh

Gah, no sense of humour. If I'd seen that then I'd have pulled out both pockets in my pants, unzipped my fly, and chased my partner around the room roaring for a laugh. Glance

At the moment I'm fending off a claim by someone who slipped and fell on the footpath leading from the wide sandy beach of a major UK holiday resort one hot afternoon in mid August. Her solicitors maintain the local council should have made sure the path was "free from sand". Big Grin
