THE FIRST & ONLY CYPRUS ARMENIANS PORTAL

Most bizarre complaints made by Brit holidaymakers

19th March 2009

Extremely white sand, too many fish in the sea, and the possibility that mosquitoes could bite are some of the most bizarre things that Brit holidaymakers have complained about in a new study.

Based on the research by The Association for British Travel Agents and Thomas Cook, a list of the 20 most absurd grievances received by tour operators was put together.

The list included

  • one jealous vacationer moaning his friend's three-bedroom apartment to be "clearly bigger" than his one-bedroom place, 
  • Another one was unhappy that it took Brits nine hours to fly back to England from Jamaica, while Americans could reach home in a mere three hours.
  • former tourist was livid that the 3.50-pound pair of Ray Ban shades purchased from a street vendor turned out to fake.
  • A travel agent faced the heat from another holidaymaker for not telling him to take his swimming trunks to a water park,
  • Another complained of not having received the warning that mosquitos could actually bite.
  • Another criticism included Spain being full of too many Spanish people,
  • Restaurants in India were also not spared for serving too much curry.
  • Extremely white sand,
  • too many fish in the sea
  • And finally An aroused elephant left a British holidaymaker feeling 'inadequate'
  • But also a woman complained that  "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."
  • speaking about "Topless" this should top the list "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."
