Travel agents share silliest complaints from travellers
Holiday goers save up all year for their annual break so it is no surprise that when things go wrong, they like to let everyone know.
Travel agents receive a variety of complaints from tourists who wish to highlight the hiccups they encountered during their trip.
It is expected that people will complain about shabby hotels and long delays, but sometimes the complaints can be quite ridiculous, like one traveller who complained that they were disappointed to find every restaurant serving curry in India.
Twitter page Holiday Complaints has shared the most ridiculous complaints made by travellers.
1. “On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food at all.”
2. “No one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.”
3. We had to cut our trip short to Yellowstone because we were informed that they don’t cage the animals at night for our protection.”
4. “Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.”
5. “The beach had too many fat people. It was gross.”
6. “We went to a Mexican restaurant in Rome and the waiter was Italian. You said Italy was the best place for an authentic food experience.”
7. "It rained. We didn't know it ever rained in Spain."
8. “Why doesn’t everyone speak English? We went to Spain and no one understood English. We will never go back there again.”
9. "It was expected that you tipped the waiters even though the hotel was all-inclusive."
10. “The water in the Gulf of Mexico was too salty. No one told me that there was going to be salt in the water. It was gross.”
11. “It’s lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during ‘siesta’ time — this should be banned.”
12. “You said the town was next to a volcano, but we went and there was no lava. I’m pretty sure it was just a mountain.”
