Having spent my entire career in the travel industry, I can vouch for these type comments and also that they're mild, only the tip of the iceberg. The best I ever experienced was a woman who came into my office and said she wanted to take a bus tour to Italy. I said that I presumed she meant IN Italy, yet she insisted she wanted one TO Italy. When I pointed out to her that there were no buses that ran across the Atlantic Ocean, her reply was, "Oh how silly of me, I guess I will have to take a train." I closed the office and headed to the Irish pub around the corner soon as she left. Lastly, as so many have decided to comment on Bunko's closing statement, I will too. He's correct.

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."

>
> 6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."
>
> 7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."
>
> 8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."
>
> 9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."
>
> 10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
>
> 11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."
>
> 12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."
>
> 13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."
>
> 14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."
>
> 15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."
>
> 16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."
>
> 17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."
>
> 18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."
>
> 19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

It's hard to imagine there are people like that, But recent events proved there are. They voted for TRUMP!!!

Frank, you give me a ray of hope in humanity. Putting a light hearted comment on here reminds me of times when sitting near the ocean in my car eating Fish & Chips (not sure if you do that over there).
Seagulls have an inate sense that there may be a snack in the offing, & they gather in their dozens.
You throw a chip to them & you are entertained by the squawking squabbling hoards of gulls fighting over this one chip or French fries to the uninformed.
This analogy is applies to this bunch of twerps.
Throw a bait out & they come out in their hoards & want to tear me apart. Deplorable is too kind a word for them.

Why has it got to do with Australia, I hear you say?
Well Mr ignoramus, if America gets a cold, the rest of the world gets a runny nose. The effect on the rest of the world is significant. If you got your head out of your arrogant arse, & looked past the end of your nose, you'd see why we comment on what you do in USA. We would like to see you great again but we're not holding our breath. We worry.
You would also see that you are currently the laughing stock of the world, including Russia.
