[Lawdog Dago Dom]

Well, ya can't please everybody!

 

Some of these show potential to be supervisors or managers.

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

2. “On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food.”

3. “We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish.”

4. “We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price.”

5. “The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room.”

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 Vallarta 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 re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.”

Then don’t eat it…

And just imagine:

They drive cars;

They serve on juries;

They vote;

They invest your money and your savings

Etc.

 

Scared yet?

We keep trying to make the world idiot proof!!  
 

As a result, we create more and more complete IDIOTS!!

A fellow named Darwin had an interesting theory.

Maybe we should try it for a while.

You know; Just to test his hypothesis.

I quite understand this one.

 

Here where I live, at the WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES © (yes, that is a copyrighted term) we have the famous SUGAR WHITE SAND ©.

 

Several years ago we had a strong hurricane and a lot of the beach got washed away. The tourist council had a solution. Put a barge offshore with a dredge and a pump, and pumped a bunch of sand up on the beach. Problem solved.

 

Except - the sand they pumped up from the bottom of the gulf was yellow. It was not the famous SUGAR WHITE SAND © that our beaches are advertised as having. If I chose to come here because of our white sandy beaches, and the sand was yellow, I would be pissed.

 

There's a beach in - Hawaii(?), I think - that has black sand. If I made a special trip to see this black sand beach, and the sand was yellow, I would be pissed.

Never...Never, eat the yellow sand.

You don't have to shout at me. I'm sensitive.

The cruise ships in Alaska have to explain that they still accept dollars....

Well, bless your hearts.  Poor, poor pitiful IDIOTS.

[Alpo]

Which idiots would that be 40?

 

The tourists?

 

Or these people that are warning the tourists not to eat the yellow sand?

 

I've heard that you should not eat the yellow snow (from where the Huskies go), but people do eat snow.

 

I've not heard of people eating sand - whether white sand, yellow sand, black sand, brown sand, or red sand. People don't eat sand. Yet here we have several people warning the tourists not to eat the yellow sand.

 

That's like warning the people that are going to the Petrified Forest not to try to eat the stone trees. If the trees were wood, would people try to eat them then?

Unfortunately, these people are also allowed to vote.

I have driven behind several this week…not tourists, Idiots. I swear we need to remove all warning signs from all things and get rid of those 1G speed signs at turns. Some $&@#ing idiots think they’re speed limit signs. Good Gawd!
