THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY “THOMAS COOK VACATIONS” FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS:
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.”
2. “They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.”
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 Vallarta to 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.”
BEWARE ..THEY WALK AMONG US and... THEY VOTE
Lazy;)
I’m thinking that someone has a vivid imagination. Very funny though.
I knew this would happen when they stopped teaching geography in elementary school............
These sound like normal tourists.
I live in Florida.
We hear this kind of stuff directly from their mouths.........
I read a hotel review that went something like:
“This hotel is terrible. It rained every day that we were there.”
And to think, these people drive...and vote!
I think that was my son.
From the details, I think they drive and vote in England ... which is funny, because it means there is someone other than my son who would look for an egg-slicer in a vacation rental.
I have an egg slicer but I call mine a knife.
(. The resort is in Spain so the egg-slicer is called a knife.
:)
Savage.
Whoops that should be
9.
LOL
you too ???
Seems UK centric to me....this seems unfair to us at FR.
The waaaambulance drivers are really being overworked these days.
I've had this problem in every foreign country I've visited. Too many foreigners. They must be pretty smart, though, because they're all fluent in a foreign language...
the topless sunbather complaint was funny as hell. Poor hubby was VERY distracted.
That was a wise decision. That marketing degree paid off.
Pretty sure I saw this in a forwarded email 20 years ago.
