Travel Complaints
« on: November 11, 2008, 10:56:24 AM »
Here is  a list compiled by travel specialists on some of the most bizarre travel complaints
http://www.australiannews.net/story/428363

Among some of them

One travel agent received a complaint from a tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant and complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".

Another wacky complaint had a group of UFO-believers, who were holding a conference at a Novotel hotel, express their fears of being infiltrated by aliens because the locks on the meeting room doors had not been changed.

There was also a complaint filed by a guest at a Novotel in Australia who complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

Another Aussie hotel was told by a football star that his hotel room overlooking Sydney's Manly beach was unsuitable because the sound of the sea kept him awake.


Has anyone got some of their own tales to tell

I remember staying in Heidelberg, Germany about 7 years ago and we had this Yank visitor who had only been there for a day complain that the shops didn't stay open 24 hours a day like back home. It's a pretty little town so what did he expect. Why did he leave home then  :wallywink.

I apologise in advance for the crap post to come but....

Many a long time ago on a football end of season trip to the Central Coast we were at a night club getting peeed as when our centre who had been having a touch of the squirts informed us that he has just shat himself.

Well he took himself off to the gents and after a bit came out all happy and commenced drinking.  We asked him how it went and he said it was all taken care of but just dont go in the mens.

Anyway as we had been drinking we couldn't hold back too much so eventually we went in and the bugger had thrown his crapped up jocks out on the floor of the mens.

It wasn't a pretty sight and you sort of had to run into the toilets holding your breath and averting your eyes from the floor.  We did get a few laughs from the guys who went in without warning and came out looking green around the gills though.
