20 ridiculous complaints made by holidaymakers

2. Proving that you don't have to be American to be an idiot tourista..
:rofl:

I've lived and traveled a lot of places around the world and I now live in Orlando FL where everybody goes for vacation so I've been on both sides of the fence.

There are a lot of stupid people in the world - they should not be allowed to travel on holidy... or in some cases reproduce as it weakens the gene pool...

:rofl:

5. An elephant?
My god some people are stupid. At least humans have the largest *cough* pen0r of all primates, both in terms of absolute and relative size.

9. I see you've never dated any Pinoy :)
Beautiful people, don't get me wrong, I love them, but God, in her almighty wisdom. chose to gift the Pinoy with smaller penises in relation to their physical size.

7. Speaking of elephants
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee, inspected the elephant's foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant.

12. Yeah, I liked that one a lot!
Quite a few of the beaches in Britain are really piles of large boulders!

13. This one's classic
"My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded 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."
