Can you believe people...

[Talya]

Apparently some legitimate complaints from people on holiday:

 

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

 

2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta 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."

 

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."

 

5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."

 

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

 

7. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

 

8. "No one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

 

9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

 

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

 

11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

 

12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

 

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

 

14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort'. We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

 

15. "There were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."

 

16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."

 

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

 

18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

 

19. "My fiance and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

 

The last one is classic...haha

I so hope to have a reason to complain about a sandy beach some day...

 

but I must agree... fish in the water are scary. they'll nibble your toes right off.

[Talya]

I have to agree with you on that one...

 

I could never do that beauty treatment where the little fishes nibble the dead skin off!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I thought remora were species specific... *shudder*

20. "I did not know we would have to walk so much while hiking."

 

Paid to go on a really cool hike when I was in Hawaii, and these three dark friends cut it short because they were to tired, and did not want to hike any further. We had not even gone halfway...

Anyways here is a picture from that very hike.

Some people can complain about ANYTHING...

[Leyrann]

We in the Netherlands almost make it a sport sometimes, by the way.

[Leyrann]

Complaining about the trains being late is a really common one, for example.

[csarmi]

No one complains about the trains being late anymore in Hungary. The uncommon is them being on time.

We act like it's the same around here, even though it isn't the case.

[Talya]

Dragon, that looks lovely, how could they complain!

 

The British complain all the time, especially about the weather...too cold, too wet, too hot...never satisfied, lol

[TheMasterDude]

I live in a desert and the one I hear commonly is "Why is it so hot? I wasn't supposed to be this hot. If I wanted to be this hot I'd have stayed home"

 

I'm just like "Then don't come here for vacation during the summer -__- It's at LEAST 10 degrees hotter (Fahrenheit) than from where you are from more than likely.

[Niniel]

LMAO @ the op

 

Don´t get me started on late trains...

[Talya]

Some people are not happy unless they can moan about something!

 

I know a few people like that 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

*moans*

 

... about something.

21.  "Why the heck is there no internet access?  We're only at the bottom of a canyon (or out in the forest, take your pick).  Get some #$%&@ service out here!"

[Panchi]

i haven't yet travelled in a train that was on time

 Now that is something to complain about, lol

 

As for Trains, They aren't too bad here, more on time than not!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

our trains carry coal and road salt.

 

you city folk are lucky.

[Leyrann]

So this is the BT's official complain-about-anything thread now?

 

I'd like to complain about that...

[Leyrann]

our trains carry coal and road salt.

 

you city folk are lucky.

 

Most people I know think I live in the middle of nowhere...

[Talya]

you carry on and complain Ley...it's good for the soul....apparently

 

 

our trains carry coal and road salt.

you city folk are lucky.

 

I live in the country, no cities round here, thank goodness, lol

[Leyrann]

It certainly is. How else do you think Dutch people became some of the oldest in the world?

 

Famous trollocs met

In Shayol Ghul to compete in the 

Olympics for shadowspawn. 

[Leyrann]

Though cheese might also be a good reason for that...

 

*starts pondering*

[Leyrann]

I love cheese, by the way.
