Holiday Complaints
Think back to the package holidays you've been on and I'm sure you can picture the people who'd submit these complaints!

Abraham Lincoln once said "You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time".
I bet he'd been on holiday and met some of these numptys!
Survey by Thomas Cook and ABTA
"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
"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."
"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."
"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."
A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this
rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not
disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.
"The beach was too sandy."
"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."
A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.
"Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."
"We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."
"No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."
"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."
"I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."
"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"
"There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."
"We had to queue outside with 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 - no-one said they could bite."
"My fiancé 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."

With the P57 Hoodia Cactus Slimming Capsule of weight reduction products and services in the marketplace, it can become very confusing figuring out which type and make of products to choose when attempting to lose weight. Nevertheless, it helps a whole lot to note that every one of the fat reduction medicines available on the market today can easily be sorted into two different kinds thereby making the decision making process a little bit simpler. P57 Hoodia is usually either Pai You Ji or non-prescription dependent. Pai You Ji Plus Tea, also referred to as ethical drugs, are generally medications that can't be paid for without permission from an authorized doctor. In North America in particular, medications that require a prescription must be initially authorized by the Pai You Ji - the Pai You Ji organization accountable for safeguarding the public from Pai You Ji Plus.
