    Complaints received by Holiday Company

    The following 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
    is 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 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 our American friends three hours to get home. It is not fair that they received a faster service".

    "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?"

    "There are too many Spanish people at our Madrid hotel. 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 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."

    What scares me is most of theses are true and Im sure alot of them hired cars off me a long time ago.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    On the other hand we also complain that the Americans doesn't get around enough

    Speaking of complaining...

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
