Especially the last one. Why would you book a room with twin beds when your going with your partner? Weirdo, also did Thomas Cook make them do the horizontal foxtrot? Honestly. Next they will be blaming TC for there being a sell out of condoms!No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

On a holiday to Egypt a few years ago we got chatting to the rep. She told us that she'd had a woman complain repeatedly that the fish in the sea weren't colourful enough and what was she going to do about it?!
Also on a holiday to Greece someone put an official complaint in to the rep that it was too hot!0 -
A mate of mine is a paralegal at a firm that handles insurance claims for this type of thing, and she has said it's all true! One couple got a three star, all inclusive week in Turkey with flights and transfers included, balcony room etc for £280 each, and demanded a full refund because only 'local' vodka was included in the all inclusive thing, and the wife only drank Smirnoff. It 'ruined' her holiday, and the restaurant didn't serve chips often enough either.
My favourite list like this is the Quantas Mechanic log.
After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident. (P = The problem logged by the pilot.) (S = The solution and action taken by the engineers.)
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
