Strange Travel Complaints
Posted 05-06-2009 at 12:18 PM by John Guinn
As in all industries, travel gets its fair share of strange complaints.
[URL="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/5005019/20-ridiculous-complaints-made-by-holidaymakers.html"]Telegraph.co.uk [/URL]recently published a list of the 20 most bizarre complaints ever registered by travellers.
Of course they are only strange because I am in the industry. For a lay person they may seem perfectly reasonable. Then again, maybe not...
Here are some of my favourites.
- A woman threatened to call the police after she thought she was trapped in her room upon finding the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the inside of her door.
- One couple was perturbed after discovering the Ray Bans they bought from a street vendor for 5 euros were fake.
- "No one told us there would be fish in the sea."
- One couple complained that no one told them they'd need swimsuits when they booked a trip to a water park.
- A man complained to his travel agent after seeing an aroused elephant made him feel inadequate and ruined his honeymoon.
- "The beach was too sandy."
- A guest in Australia complained about his soup being too thick. He was eating the gravy.
- One woman demanded topless sunbathing be outlawed after her husband spent more time looking at the tanners than her.
- A tourist complained that it took her family six hours to fly home to England from Jamaica, while the Americans only had to fly three hours.
- "I was bitten by a mosquito. No one said they could bite."
