People who will never be happy

My friend just sent me an email about complaints that a UK package holiday company received (see below). These are the kind of people that will never EVER be happy no matter what. They need to find something to complain about.

Who would have thought a beach could be too sandy? Well, according to Thomas Cook in the UK some holidaymakers are just never satisfied. Here are the top ten most bizarre and genuine customer complaints received by the firm in recent years:

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 at all.

2 The beach was too sandy.

3 I bought a snorkel and swimming mask for my six-year-old son, but he was too upset to use them as the fish frightened him.

4 It rained on my birthday.

5 Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.

6 I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.

7 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.

8 We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.

9 None of the hotel staff was English, and the tea didn't taste the same as at home.

10 I would like to complain about the price of alcohol in the resort. It was too cheap and I woke with a hangover every day.

I'd gladly spend my holiday on a too sandy beach eating curry swimming with scary fish wearing fake designer sunglasses. Oh yeah and getting sloshed in the evenings. What the hell do these people expect. They are going to a different country not their own guestroom.

OOHH LORDY the "P" word is about to strike!!!! Yes, that's right: PERSPECTIVE. Cripes, what these people (and others like them) need is to spend an afternoon with a fly covered baby in Calcutta, India or grab a gun and hang out in Iraq, etc.
