Chuckles for today

Gotten from another list - maybe some of these have been “altered” a bit…but maybe not!

 

😂😂😂

THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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. "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."

 

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. "When we were in Spain, 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 fiancée 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."

Never ceases to amaze me @Melodie-And-John0 how many people are unaware of the fact that the world didn't always look the way it is with buildings all over it and that life was quite different and way less populated and polluted as recently as 30 years ago - there's something to be said about life in that era and the practices those people before us lived like - pre 1980

s stock market high fliers carry on which in part is what has destroyed our natural environment ..

True @Helen427 , happily, most of the folks that come here do so for seeking the "Touch-o-Country" the middle of everywhere is known for. 

@Melodie-And-John0  You mean you expected the guest to realize that bears don't require streetlights to find their way around? 🙂

Too funny. The oddest one we ever got was from some imbecile starting out with  -

"This island is off-grid!!".

(It is 6 miles away from the mainland, what did she expect?)
