FUNNY TOURISTS COMPLAINTS

In urma unui studiu realizat de Thomas Cook and the Association of British Travel Agents , iata cateva din plangerile oficiale, cel putin ciudate.., formulate de turisti; asta ca sa stiti ce va asteapta, pe voi, cei ce terminati Turismul...(:D). Bucurati-va totusi, caci nu vin de la romani, ci de la britanici, renumiti pentru excentricitati (nu ca romanii ar fi mai putin creativi!).
Plangerile lor sunt :
a) geografice:
- "Ne-a luat 9 ore sa ajungem din Jamaica in Anglia, cand americanilor le ia doar 3 ore sa ajunga acasa" ("It took us nine hours to fly home from to Jamaica to England whereas it only took the Americans three hours to get home")

b) nitzel xenofobe:
- se pare ca sunt prea multi spanioli in Spania

c) ecologiste...:
- cica plaja are prea mult nisip
- ..ori nisipul e pre alb, cand in brosura el apare galben
- "Nimeni nu ne-a spus ca in mare sunt pesti" reclama un cuplu ai carui copii au fost surprinsi si speriati sa vada pesti din apa ?!?!?!
- sau..."Am fost piscat de un tantar. Nimeni nu ne-a anuntat ca pisca"?!?!?

d) putin confuze:
- "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. As we're trainee hairdressers will we be OK staying here?"

e) culinare:
- se serveste prea mult curry in restaurantele indiene ("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")
- turisti revoltati ca nu au fost avertizati ca la magazinele din tara de destinatie nu se vand biscuiti de un anumit tip ("I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts")

f) feministe:
- ar trebui interzis topless-ul, pt. ca vacanta unei doamne a fost distrusa de faptul ca toata ziua sotul ei n-a facut decat sa se uite la alte femei

g) ori pur si simplu weird..
- o turista a reclamat anjagatii hotelului in care a stat pt faptul ca a ramas insarcinata: in locul camerei cu doua paturi pe care o rezervase pt. ea si logodnicul ei, primise una cu pat dublu(matrimonial), asa ca, ajunsa acasa, s-a trezit putin insarcinata. Ori This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked

.......Un alt studiu vine sa intareasca stereotipul turistului britanic, ingrozit de mancarurile straine, fapt ce-i determina pe multi dintre ei sa plece la drum cu valizele burdushite de mancare de la mama (lor) de-acasa.

....Here are some very weird tourist complaints registered by Thomas Cook and the Association of British Travel Agents, from the British tourists, reknown for being endearingly eccentric.

- the beaches were too sandy

-..or the sand of the beach is white, while in the tourist brochure it was yellow

- one couple’s children were startled by the fish in the sea:“No one told us there would be fish in the sea“

- a very common complaint is about nature: “I was bitten by a mosquito – no one said they could bite.”

- a female traveller blamed her hotel for her pregnancy: "My fiance and I booked a twin-bed room but we were placed in a double-bed 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."

- "there are too many Spanish people in Spain"

- it is too much curry served in restaurants, in India ("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.").

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

- "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined because my husband spent all day looking at other women." (They should come to Romania..)

- "It took us nine hours to fly home from to Jamaica to England whereas it only took the Americans three hours to get home."

- "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. As we're trainee hairdressers will we be OK staying here?"

Another study reinforced the stereotype of the timid British tourist, wary of strange foreign cuisine and terrified of Delhi-belly. It found that one in five Brits stuff their suitcases with baked beans, instant soups and cornflakes so they don’t have to sample even a mouthful of local fare.
