the most ridiculous complaint you have heard.

So, whats the most ridiculous complaint you have ever heard?

Was reading an article on evoke.ie about complaints made to met eireann. Some people are just plain mad.

Here's a quote:

It’s Munster propaganda. February 2014.
‘Hi, it appears the forecasting seems biased, in that Munster seems to get the worst weather and yet this is not reported as such. You would almost think that Met Éireann executives were working for the tourist board in Munster.’

Meat Loaf complaining Gary Busey stole his paints was pretty ridiculous.

I occasionally will treat myself and the significant other to a meal in a Michelin starred restaurant.

Every so often you'll see a people there who don't quite fit in. The ill-fitting jacket, the wide-eyed looking at the prices on the wine menu and the overall lack of table etiquette.

Then they'll complain about the portion sizes, or try and ask for the dish 'without onions' or I geniunely heard one man ask in a well-known Dublin Michelin star if he could get a portion of chips as he was still starving

Is it bad to ask for no onions? Never been to a fancy restaurant - so I'm actually curious.

Woman: ill have a full irish please.
Me: im sorry but due to a catering shortage this morning, and previous customer demand, the breakfast is not available. However we do have everything else on the menu.

Woman: what?!? That is disgraceful. 
Me: I do apologise.

Woman: well, what DO you have then?!?
Me: as I explained, I have everything on the menu except for the full irish.

Woman: give me a sandwich. Actually are they pre made?
Me: yes.

Woman: well I have allergies. I want cambridge brown bread.
Me: well unfortunately they are already pre made. May I ask what your allergy is without being too personal?

Woman: well its not really an allergy per se, its just I dont like any other bread.
Me: ok. Well will I give you a minute or two to browse again?

Woman: just give me a sandwich.
Me: no problem. Here you are.

Woman: you know you are discriminating against me?
Me: im sorry?!?

Woman: I said you are discriminating against me!
Me: im very sorry but I refuse to accept that I am discriminating against you. We simply do not have you're first choice. As I already explained, we do have everything else so I can offer you an alternative. 

Woman: well then you will give me this tea and sandwich for free.
Me: im afraid I cannot do that. I cannot give out anything complimentary. 

Woman: sure who are you! Go get me someone higher than you. Get me you're boss immediately. 
Me: no problem

I go and quickly explain the situation to my boss and she heads over to the lady.

Woman: this young woman is.discriminating against me. She is refusing to give me a full irish breakfast. 
Boss: im sure she has explained the situation. We do apologise but we can offer an alternative. 

Woman: well im refusing to pay. 
( at this point she opens the packaging of thw sandwich)
Boss: ok. However I cannot give anything complimentary.

Woman: well I have opened the sandwich now so what are you going to do about it!
Boss: €7.00 please.

Woman: ( throwing the opened sandwich at my boss)
Take your lousy sandwich. You're both a disgrace. You're company is a disgrace. I will be going to the highest about this as you are discriminating against me. Discrimination!

Boss: that is a very serious allegation there.

Woman: ill never come here again.
Boss: thats perfectly fine.

Woman jumps up and storms out

For some reason that post reminds me of the children's story 'The three billy goats gruff'. Can't for the life of me think why.......

I'm thanking this purely because how masterfully it'll wind people up to no end :pac:


Having worked in retail and customer service, too many to mention, one of the best ones ever was a woman who wanted to make a formal complaint that she couldnt send a group text because of lack of coverage in her area, the purpose of the text? to organise a protest against a phone mast being put up in her town..to improve the coverage. I was trying to explain the irony of her complaint and it was lost on her. I wasn't even working in the job that long, I wish I could say she was one of the stupider people I dealt with but there were far worse.

My mental health and overall sanity is so much better off now I don't work with the public anymore, thank fuck. People would actually rot you.

been to a couple of expensive restaurants where we've stopped for chips on the way home

I've heard of some clowns who wanted large trucks banned from driving through their town because they cause too much noise. Yeah, never mind the fact that it'll cripple local commerce and cost people jobs, but no... you're sensitive fúcking ears are offended by the big clanking trucks. That only come through the place during the day during business hours anyway.

Piss off, seriously.

Yeah I don't get the "posh restaurant" thing.
If I'm paying big I want a decent portion...simples.

My favourite place to eat is a local steakhouse restaurant.
I'd have it any day over a tiny portion on a fancy plate.


Worst complaint I heard was a woman complaining there was cheese on her sandwich....she ordered a ham and cheese sandwich.

Same, I want to be fed when I go out, not order something and get less food than you would if they were giving out free samples in a supermarket. Nice food in teeny portions is just teasing.

Stayed in a lovely hotel in South Africa an while in a small queue to check out I heard a couple discussing what they could complain about for a discount. The best they could come up with, and they attacked the receptionist about it, was that the pillows were too soft.

I hate that sh1t, it's this "customer is always right" bollocks that just makes people give frontline staff a hard time so a manager will give them what they want to get them to stfu and go away. Nothing worse than knowing you're doing the right thing telling some idiot no when a manager just tells them yes for an easy life.

i seen a woman complain in a dublin pub that the pint of guinness that she had ordered, wasnt a full one.

the barman put it up on the counter and walked away and she stood there screaming at him and then demanded to see the manager as she wasnt going to pay for a "half a pint" as she described it.

the barman then came back, topped it off and she shut up.

This one dude was complaining and making snide remarks about me not wanting onions in my food. Very up themselves for somebody eating in restaurant run by a tyre company. If I'm gonna eat **** all I want to eat what I like, seeing as I'm paying for it. Couldn't get a right look at him behind all the M&S shopping bags though.

ShadowHearth

As a chef, I heard a good few "idiot" complains.

"My steak tastes like beef!" That was actual complain.

Waitress comes in with completely cleaned up plate. Not even a grain of rice left. Them she tells me: "He complained that there was no chicken in his chicken curry, he wants another one with chicken."...

Ages ago I was working in carvery. Got one of those dudes. He was just taking a piss with his order. Asked for pretty much triple portion of beef, then 6 scoops of mash, 2 big spoons of each veg. 3 roast potatoes. The plate was so full I just had nowhere to put more food. I handed him the plate and said nothing as he clearly taking a piss. Next thing he goes to my manager and says " look at this plate! It looks like a pile of food for dog! Your boy has no skills!"
Manager comes to me after and says me this: " if you get pricks like this again, just start putting food on second and third plate so we charge them properly".

I was working in a cafe in Regent's Park in London a long time ago. This woman came in shouting at me while pointing to her top where a pigeon had shat on her. This was somehow my fault as she was sitting on some of the benches out the front. I couldn't help but start giggling in her face at her predicament. How was I in any way responsible for this? What exactly did she want me to do about this? Shoot all the birds in the park? A bird ****ting on you is a hazard you face when you leave the house everyday.
