You just can't please them all!
Take a few minutes to enjoy some of the more ridiculous complaints made by holidaymakers to their travel agent, taken from research by Thomas Cook and ABTA.
- 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."
- "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."
- "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 6 that we booked."
- "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"
- "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish.
The food is Spanish. Too many
foreigners." - "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."
- "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
- "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."
