Unbelievable Letters of Complaint

Posts: 7 Forumite
Holidays are exciting and fun, but for some it's all a bit too much!
Read these unbelievable letters of complaint written by either unsatisfied holidaymakers, or people who are just plain stupid!
1. I think the brochure should have explained that the local grocery store did not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.
2. It's lazy of the local shop keepers to close in the afternoons - I often need to buy things in siesta time.
3. On my holiday in India I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry.
4. We booked an excursion to a waterpark but nobody told us that we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels.
5. The beach was too sandy - we had to clean everything when we got back to our room.
6. We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure showed the sand as white but it was more yellow.
7. They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.
8. We went on holiday to Spain and we had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish.
9. Although the brochure stated the kitchen was fully equipped, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers.
10. It took us 9 hours to fly home from Jamaica to England - it only took the Americans 3 hours, which seems unfair.
11. I compared the size of our one bedroom suite to our friends 3 bedroom suite and ours was significantly smaller.
12. The brochure stated "no hairdressers at the resort". We are trainee hairdressers and we think they knew as they made us wait longer for service.
13. There were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No-one told us there would be so many foreigners.

It may be old and a bit of a spoof, however, people really are that stupid, just read some reviews on Trip Advisor.I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world0

I know it may seem dumb, but genuinely I was in Subway the other day and a woman was complaining that she wanted "the bigger half" ...
Some people really are that stupid I am afraid :cool:0 -
I once saw a review on tripadvisor where an American man complained that the place he was staying in (cant remember exactly may have been the Carribean or Europe) wasnt getting top marks because they didnt have US style plug sockets or the correct voltage for his appliances.0

Can't speak for travel but for insurance we certainly not only get very silly complaints but some of them go as far as taking it to the ombudsman when they arent happy with the insurers response.0

If you google " too many Spanish" you get tripadviser reviews for example one said " saw too many great cathedrals... This one was disappointing but interesting". . Que?. ( yes, really)
another " a man sold us items that looked like the real thing but were fake .too many Spanish children"
"Too many Spanish at this hotel...the good things LCD tv on the wall showing british televising bbc1bbc2itv itv1itv2 itv3 itv40 -

While that's extremely petty, it's not "dumb" or "stupid". In Subway they roughly cut the roll in half by guessing where the halfway point is. It's easily possible one half was bigger than the other.
Unless you're being ridiculously pedantic and ignoring the fact that "half" can be used even when it doesn't literally mean 50%?0
