This post, and the thread featured within, is all about laughing at other people.

People who do and say stupid stuff. People who deserve to be laughed at. People not like us.

You know … tourists.

As luck would have it, the people being derided are anonymous, so we can laugh and/or roll our eyes at their flagrant stupidity and no one gets hurt. The thread is specifically centered around complaints expressed by tourists. And botticelli kicks off the thread with some doozies:

“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.”

 

“No one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared.”

 

“I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes.”

 

“They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.”

That’s all the chum in the waters others need to share some of their own favorite idiotic tourist complaints.

Read the thread in its entirety: Funny complaints from tourists

And if you are feeling brave go ahead and post stupid questions/complaints you yourself have made when visiting an unfamiliar locale.

It’s ok, go ahead. This is a safe place. I’m sure no one will laugh at you.
