[BITList] travel complaints

[FA]

I find it easier to stay home saves a lot of hassles
frank


However, it's clear other travelers should have kept their frustrations 
to themselves. Here are 18 of the most ridiculous complaints collected 
by travel agents, online travel companies and hotels.

*1.* "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."

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

*3.* "My fiancée and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a 
double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find 
myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the 
room that we booked."

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

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

*6.* "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."

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

*8. *"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."

*9.* "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."

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

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

One traveller complained about the colour of the sand at a beach.

*12.* "One traveler asked to move rooms as he insisted there was a 
strange buzzing coming from the air conditioner. After moving rooms, the 
noise was discovered to be an electric toothbrush in his suitcase."

*13.* "I'm sure I've stayed in this hotel room

in a previous life. I cannot stay here again."

*14.* "Why are there no kangaroos hopping around Sydney city? I'm most 
disappointed."

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

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

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

*18.* "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."
