We All Love a Moan but This is Something Else!

Other

We all love to have a moan about something with our friends and family but rarely make an official complaint unless its something really bad or serious. These are actual complaints that Thomas Cook have received about their holidays over the years.... If you need a laugh, have a read through these.... 😆

"They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

"On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."

"We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

"We 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."

"The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room.

"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."

"No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

"Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

"The 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."

"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

"I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."

"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

"When we were in Spain, there 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."

"We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."

"It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

"I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

"My fiancée 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."

Oh dear, oh dear. Everything and everyone was faulty. I was wondering what the hotel staff and other tourists thought of you then. Did you complain non stop? Was it a cheap hotel (you get what you pay for)? Did you read the 1* reviews first about the hotel, sea, etc? I thought not.

Sorry, sorry emmabecks for thinking it was about you and not the grumble from some Thomas Cook customers. Also it was a complainant form as well. Some of it was so funny and others annoying according to the countries mentioned.

Wow!…talk about the stereotypical bad brit abroad!

You see so many of them marching to the shop in a morning to buy The Sun or Daily Star. They only eat Pie and Chips and “not any of that foreign muck!”….apart from a Sunday of course, where they scour the whole resort to find the best Sunday Dinner!

And not forgetting those idiots who try to drink their own body weight in alcohol every night!

I cannot believe that some people find the time to complain about any of the above mentioned or anything else in between.

I think they wish to moan for the sake of it. They're moans are so silly. 😆

I think the best one was the person who went to Goa.

Please tell me the company responded with, 'There were a variety of knives available in the drawer and knife holder' 😆

This one made me chuckle '"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service.". I love how a simple misunderstanding becomes a full on conspiracy trying to make holidays for hairdressers less pleasant. I wonder in conversation if they concealed their type of employment in case of being evicted from the hotel? I'd like to think its a joke but I've worked in a shop in the past and many people are completely unreasonable and make ridiculous assumptions.

I was once on a coach holiday in Amsterdam and at breakfast in the hotel someone complained there was no bacon and eggs! Continental was the breakfast with bread, cheese, ham, yoghurt etc. It was embarrassing. We pretended not to be with them!

That's in regards to the U.K. car sticker you're obliged to use when overseas.

Now, here's why find this so funny: It's simply due to worrying about a "hate crime" when he has the sticker, despite that the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car (correct for the U.K., sure) and the plate very obviously isn't from France (or any other EU country, they don't allow plates without the initials of a country and the blue EU stars).

Algarve has plenty of British immigrants (or as they prefer to call themselves: Expats) and you don't see them cry about so-called hate crime. lol

Needed that after getting soaked walking from work this morning & having to stay home today to get Training done...

One of my favourites is..

It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England but only took the Americans three hours...This seems unfair!!!

I take it Geography isn't their strong point!!
