These are genuine complaints received by Thomas Cook. Has anyone come across any more?

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."
2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."
3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."
4. "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."
5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."
6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."
7. "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."
8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."
9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."
10. "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."
11. "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."
12. "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."
13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."
14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."
15. "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."
16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."
17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."
18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."
19. "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."

I think some of those are clearly jokes. But some people want to go on holiday and have everything the same as at home. It's bizarre.

Some belters in there. Particularly the one about the pregnancy... although they're probably just chances trying to sue.

One of the best I came across was on trip advisor, reviewing hotels for Morocco (I think). It went something along the lines of the food and service were exception and the hotel was better than we thought. However, the weather was dreadful,  so we couldn't rate this any higher than terrible...

Que sarcastic response from the manager stating that he was sorry that the hotel couldn't control the weather, but that the facility was looking at introducing these sort of facilities soom

I always like the joke about the pensioners who go to the same place year after year

"Terrible food"
"Yes, and such small portions too"

Someone once told me that If you ask for an extra pillow in some Birmingham hotels they send a girl up to your room..........

If I ever get a chance to go to Birmingham..............I'm going to ask for an extra pillow, extra sheet, extra duvet and an extra towel.............

and see what happens..............

Ask for an pillow in Bradford and you get labeled a soft southerner.

If you're lucky they'll let you sleep under your car/cart/whippet for 50p a week
