One of my Facebook Friends (ex-coworker a bit younger than I am) posted this a few days ago. Many folks just didn't get it. Me, I had to sing it out.
Be careful of what you wish for. My elder son visited last weekend -- he had shaved his beard off the previous morning, and looked like most guys look after not shaving for 5 days. His mother commented on it, and he turned to me and said, "Thanks for the genetics, dad." [I get 5 o'clock shadow at 9AM, and go from zero to beard in 7 days.]
My younger son inherited his hair from his mother's side. He's in between Obi Wan and Mando, and happy for it.
Be very careful of what you wish for!
These are actual complaints received by "Thomas Cook Vacations" from dissatisfied customers:
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 Vallartato 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.

I'm old enough to remember that when you saw someone holding their hand up to their ear, they had earache!
Younger kids used to take the p**s when they saw someone with a hearing aid in their ear, now they've all got something stuck in their ears, trying to make themselves deaf.

Mickey Ds removed the fried version due to "health reasons" and replaced it with the baked version. However, it looks like the fried version is still available for burning lips and tongues in the UK.

Ha! I sent this to my sister, who was delayed in Charlotte for over two hours. I told her to enjoy her sandwich.
