Just seen some of these gems... âI think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.â âItâs lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during âsiestaâ time â this should be banned.â âOn my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I donât like spicy food.â âWe 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.â âThe beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room.â âWe found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow.â âThey should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.â âNo one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared.â âAlthough the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers.â âWe went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish.â âThe 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.â âIt took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair.â âI compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friendsâ three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller.â âThe brochure stated: âNo hairdressers at the resortâ. Weâre trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service.â âThere 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.â âWe had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning.â âIt is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel.â âI was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes.â âMy 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.â Can anyone top these?
Not a holiday one, but true never the less. I did a small extension really cheaply for a couple who had been ripped off by another builder. (Allegedly) Finished the job quickly and well. Then they wanted to deduct money from the final payment, as the bricklayer whistled and sang all the time. I was dumbfounded and asked them if they had asked him to stop. They said they didn't want to upset him.
" I would like to make an official complaint to the manager of your store as I find your selling of bars of soap extremely offensive. I have not had a wash for over 3 years and see your aggressive nazi approach of subliminally pushing people to get a washed as a breach of my hippie rights. I would also like to stress my disgust at your advertising of jobs as I have never worked a single day in my life and am extremely offended by your Hitler like approach to encourage me to get out of bed before 2pm and do something with my worthless hippie life."
