rememberwilliegibson Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 According to Thomas Cook in the UK, some holidaymakers are just never satisfied. Here are the top ten most bizarre and genuine customer complaints received by the firm in recent years: 1 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. 2 The beach was too sandy. 3 I bought a snorkel and swimming mask for my six-year-old son, but he was too upset to use them as the fish frightened him. 4 It rained on my birthday. 5 Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women. 6 I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts. 7 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. 8 We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five euros (?3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake. 9 None of the hotel staff was English, and the tea didn't taste the same as at home. 10 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_steve Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 they all look perfectly legitimate complaints to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neave Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Number 10 must be taking the ****. I can believe the other 9 though; either middle-class women who love to complain at anything or idiotic neds with 8 kids have submitted, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor FinnBarr Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Number 10 was a complaint? Should be a selling point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back at the departure lounge in Charles de Gaulle airport, I overheard an American moaning to someone on her mobile how her holiday was terrible because.... everyone spoke French!
