You’ve been on your long awaited holiday and it’s time to return home to a load of dirty washing, huge pile of ironing and the pleasure of going back to work. However for some people, when they return from their holiday it’s time to complain.
Many people have genuine concerns and problems which they take up with their tour operator, others, it seems are just desperate to find anything to moan about. Here are some of the most trivial, bizarre and downright stupid things that holidaymakers have complained about when they came home;

• A well to do young couple booked a romantic getaway in a beach bungalow on the beautiful white Caribbean sands, and then promptly complained when they came home because they couldn’t get to sleep for the waves crashing on the shore.
(And the purpose of a beach bungalow is…?)

• An excited young family headed off to Lapland to see Father Christmas and his reindeers, only for the parents to complain that the brochure should have stated that the reindeer didn’t fly.
(I bet Rudolph’s nose wasn’t red either!)

• One tour operator received a grievance from a disgruntled traveller because the sand had been too hot to walk on.
(Guess he hadn’t heard of flip flops!)

• One young couple complained that the Rep hadn’t advised them to take swimming costumes or towels with them when they booked an excursion to the local water park.
(How silly of the Rep not to mention that bit…!)

• On returning from a Mediterranean break, a complaint was made that the local shops were closed during the afternoon and a suggestion added that this should be banned as the customer had wanted to buy things during this time.
(Let’s open the whole of Spain especially for them!)

• Having returned from India, a young lady complained that the food had been too spicy; commenting that ‘everywhere served curry.’
(Perhaps she should try Blackpool next year.)

• Someone else complained on their return that their holiday had been spoilt because the foreigners didn’t try to speak English.
(Like we make the effort to speak their language in this country)

• An amorous young couple, who had requested a ‘twin’ room but received a ‘double’, complained that this was the reason she had fallen pregnant whilst on holiday.
(Obviously there are no other methods of contraception in the world!)

• Upon landing back in the UK from Jamaica one customer complained that it had taken nine hours to return home, and questioned why it only took the Americans three!
(There really is no comment for this one…ok, the word ‘idiot’ springs to mind!!)

• And finally, some people don’t even wait to get home to complain, one tourist was overheard complaining on a cruise liner that they had requested a sea view room, and the only thing they could see was the car park!
(Yup, you’ve guessed it…they hadn’t even set sail!)

So enjoy your holidays, but take just a second to think about what you are going to nitpick about when you return home, just incase you end up in the next list of idiotic holiday complaints.
