    A bruised arm has spoiled your holiday???

    Seriously??

    I would recommend you get treated for your more serious issue of hypochondria which is what really seems to be spoiling your holiday.

    Enjoy the wine , smile, and have some fun.

    Ps - I wouldn't recommend going skiing if a bruise causes you so much grief. Snow and ice EVERYWHERE and yet no warning signs! Ouch!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I have taken the medication as prescribed by the doctor, I have not had any alchool today, I have to take the medication for the next few days.

    You don't have to take the medication.

    You have a bit of a sore arm, if it doesn't hurt don't take the medication, it's only paracetamol and ibuprofen for goodness sake. Use your own common sense.

    I can imagine the the small claim hearing

    "M'lud I had such a sore arm I had to spend two hours typing with it on t'interweb to confirm how much compo I could get".

    No chance they would counterclaim then.

    Thank you for your reply, would you prefer someone else to be potentially injured in the same way if you had suffered an injury while on holiday ? or do you think it is best not to care of other fellow holiday makers.? personally I would like to think the door has been checked by an authorized engineer for the that type of electronic sliding door....is that wrong of me?!?!? I am not the kind of person that would want anyone else to suffer a knock, I am a farily sturdy fit individual, if it gave me a nasty jolt , I am pretty sure a old frail person or a child would of felt it much worse than I.....I guess I am just too caring for my own good.

    Are you saying these doors went haywire and slammed into your arm? You don't appear to be, you are saying they shut on you.

    So, if you are a sturdy and fit individual as you say, you should have no trouble getting through automatic doors before they shut again, unless you tried to nip through as they were already closing and found yourself not fit enough to get through in time.

    Or you're not a fit and sturdy individual and should take your wife with you to the buffet, regardless of losing your table, so to not ruin your holiday with a poorly arm.

    Whats worse, losing your table, or poorly arm ruining your holiday?
  • Thank you all for your replies.

    The doors I assume malfunctioned, as they closed into my arms, giving me a nasty jolt.

    I have never seen a automatic door close so quickly/with such force that they could 'jolt' anyone.

    As said earlier by someone in the known, there is a squash element, a bounce element. They don't slam.

    But you have avoided the question as to the speed/force they shut...

    Can’t be that good a holiday, maybe the doors have added some interest.

    You need to do a Denuncia - google it.
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring
  • You're on holiday OP. Just sit down, relax and unwind. Do something to help take you mind off it. Put a movie on, I think Sliding Doors is showing out there at the moment......Oh wait.....
