      Back in high school, my brother complained to me that the primary Spanish teacher did not speak perfect English. Expecting her to speak "perfect" Spanish is reasonable, but English? Her English was just fine, just heavily accented.

        Isn't it great when people visit a foreign country, but then judge it by the standards they are used to in their own country? Kind of defeats the purpose of travelling, I think.

          I honestly wonder if some of those were jokes. Even taking into account which site I'm on, I really have a hard time believing anyone can be THAT dumb and still be able to BREATHE, let alone operate a computer.

            “My fiancé 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.


            Wait what???? You're blaming the hotel/tour company because you couldn't "keep it in the pants" ???? I don't even .....

                  That's almost as dumb as saying, "Man, Spain has a lot of Mexicans!"

                    Meanwhile, in Iraq…

                    JAY SHERMAN: "Baghdad airport, and step on it."
                    DRIVER: "Sure thing, Mac."
                    JAY: "You're from New York?"
                    DRIVER: "Yeah. I'm part of the cabby exchange program. Yeah, see, they send all the foreign cabbies to New York, while all the New York cabbies come here. That way, no cabby speaks the language of the country he works in."

                      Is it bad that none of those complaints surprise me?

                      I've done a fair bit of travelling on my own and on tours and the stupidity of my fellow tourists is no longer shocking or unexpected. But they do leave me with funny things to add to my travel journals.
