Just a few holiday complaints

[LaneyICR]

These are complaints received by a holiday company (NOT ICR) during the season.

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

2. "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

3. "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."

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

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

6. 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.

7. "The beach was too sandy."

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

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

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

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

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

13. "There was no egg slicer in the apartment...."

14. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish..."

15. "The roads were uneven.."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

23. "My fiancé 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."

These people walk amongst us!!!!!

We were in the little supermarket next to Sizzler a couple of years ago. a couple came in and the woman asked if he did bars of frys turkish delight!!

He thought she wanted fried turkish delight!!!!

I work at a holiday park and believe me, you wouldn't believe the complaints we get!

Here's one............" the whole week we were there the sea was out all day and just came in at night, which was no good to us".

How the Hell would you answer that complaint letter without calling them thick?

I can add to that Laney I went on a cruise quite a number of years ago and two of the best were 'does this lift go up' and on seeing photos of everyone disembarking and American couple asked how they would know which photos were theirs, doh maybe the one your in of course.

[dksbbs]

I would like to complain about the price of alcohol in the resort. It was too cheap and I woke with a hangover every day.

I missed my airport transfer because I was in the hotel bar “flirting” with a local girl, I had to pay £40 for a taxi to get the airport but the travel company is refusing to refund me.

i remember years ago in a scottish sunday paper in the letters page, an american tourist once wrote that she loved visiting edinburgh.but she asked "why did they have to build the castle so close to the railway station ?"

for the life of me i still don`t know the answer!!!!!!

[dragon]

Hilarious. It goes to show that some people are professional complainers. it also reminds me of the quote ' You cannot be serious....'

[Katiehutchinson_1991]

i wouldnt have the nerve to complain unless it was a serious problem

a few years ago in the Fortuna. i genuinely heard a guy complain to the rep,that the cakes were so good that he couldn't stop eating them. because of this he did not fit into his trousers and had to buy new ones.
