The most ridiculous complaints from British tourists abroad (29 photos)

The holiday season is approaching, and flocks of British tourists are flocking to the beaches of Spain, Greece, and Italy. Many know how to behave abroad, but the stereotype of the Brit who is always dissatisfied and forgets to slather on sunscreen still lingers. Sometimes it's quite difficult for Brits to avoid the typical British blunder of walking into the nearest shop and seriously expecting the people there to speak English. And there's no point in trying to sound Greek by speaking English with a fake Greek accent—it looks silly.





On Twitter, we've compiled a fantastic collection of the most idiotic complaints British tourists have written about hotels while vacationing abroad.



"My fiancé and I booked a room with two beds, but we got one double. Now I'm pregnant." Of course, it's the bed's fault.





"Too many people in Germany only speak German." They're just scoundrels.



"The bar was closed, and I couldn't have my pint at the airport at seven in the morning." It's hard to imagine how someone could be prevented from having a beer at seven in the morning at the airport.



"We went canoeing, but were very disappointed because no one told us there wouldn't be a restroom. That was really inconvenient." Really?



"The weather at home was just as good as on vacation while we were gone." How dare they even include good weather in their absence?!



"We went to a ski resort, but they didn't tell us we really needed to know how to ski." What a cruel oversight.



"There was no variety of fruit in our pitcher of sangria." Oh, my vacation is ruined.



"The food was so cheap that by the time I got home, I'd gained three kilos." Any weight gain is the hotel's fault.



"There are too many Spaniards here. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners." Of course, in Spain.



"There were only two towels per person. One for the body, one for the head. How the HELL am I supposed to dry my hands?" It's mind-boggling.



"It rained every day. The brochure didn't say anything about rain." They missed the point.



"When we arrived, they gave us free cocktails, but I don't like Sex on the Beach." Drink what they give you.



"The orange Fanta in Spain was more Fanta-like than the Fanta at home." Really?



"We hung the towels on the balcony to dry, and they just froze." This is at a ski resort.



"There was a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the inside of the door. I got confused and thought the hotel staff had locked me out." Of course, that's the confusion.



"Although the brochure said there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no tea strainer in the drawers." Brits should always have a tea strainer on hand, otherwise they'll die.



"We went to the beach, and when we came back, everything was covered in sand." Simply outrageous!



"The toilet paper in the hotel room wasn't Andrex." That's it, my butt was offended.



"We took the wrong train to the airport and missed our flight." It's all the hotel's fault.



"It was too hot." The weather at the seaside is just annoying!



"The pool water dissolved my sunscreen, it ran into my eyes, and it hurt like hell." It's so annoying when the water is too wet!



"Our London hotel didn't have an ocean view." Neither did other London hotels.



"The sun made my hair a little lighter. I liked my old hair color better." What a shame.



"The water in the Gulf of Mexico was too salty. No one told me there would be salt in the water. It was disgusting." They should put up signs on the beach saying the sea water is salty.



"People were clapping when the plane landed." That was a nightmare.



"There was sand all over the floor at the beach bar." Amazing!



"The restaurant said kids eat free, but they still charged me for my 19-year-old daughter's lunch." They're robbing me in broad daylight.



"There was no Yorkshire tea on the train in Thailand." Horrible.
