My gf was filling out a review inside the hotel and we looked outside and the bus was there but 15 minutes earlier than it said. We were waiting outside from about 840 onward and he rocked up about 850 to see the other guests there onto the bus but told us we had missed ours and would need a taxi. Get that info in your complaint. Not much use having a rep if he doesn't do his job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Not sure if it's best to phone them or email them but will definitely complain to them and send them the receipt. Didn't get the reps name though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Can I ask a question? Were you the only people who didn't get on the bus? Did everyone else on the same flight get on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Can I ask a question? Were you the only people who didn't get on the bus? Did everyone else on the same flight get on it? They probably all got on I don't know, the next bus was full and for another airport. Was my girlfriend who dismissed the bus as it was way to early considering most busses are late. She has taken the blame for it but it's still annoying as f**k as you can imagine. ETA I am not happy about Shandon Pars comment and won't give it a greenie but it has reduced me to hysterical laughter due to the emotional roller coaster of my day so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same as the tour company organising multiple buses, none of which are marked*, is it? *According to throbber, I accept this may not have been the case, but my point stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the f**k didn't you ask some c**t if that was the bus you needed? You deserve everything you get for being a fucking gimp throbber.

KnightswoodBear Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 To be fair, the bus probably had flashing lights saying "THIS IS YOUR BUS THROBBER!!!!!" down the side, but his eye was drawn to some old dear sitting at a window seat that he thought was giving him the evil eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 1 hour ago, throbber said: On way back from my holidays, the bus was meant to pick us up from our hotel between 840-855 and we were in lobby for 830, a bus came and a few folk got on but we assumed it was ours as was far too early. Then one came slightly later than 855 that we thought was ours but our rep who had just shown up told us it was for flights to Birmingham only and we had missed Our bus and would need a taxi! So our bus was earlier than it said, there was no marking on the side and no rep there to make sure we got on the bus ok and no one there to take names down. This rep told us we had missed out bus and would need to fork out 30 euros for taxi. At airport now and need to wait for over an hour, there is no bar and nowhere to sit. Some selfish b*****ds are hogging two seats or have their bags sat next to them so no one else can sit down! There is one guy deliberately sat in between two seats despite not even being fat. A truly awful day so far and will probably only get worse. All you need is to be sat next to your gobby female friend that you spoke so eloquently of during your vacation?

gavin_3110 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Holiday "reps" are the lowest lifeform on earth. Package holidays are for commoners. Keeps you away from us achievers though, so it's not all bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 You can't really write a letter of complaint to Thomas Cook blaming your own idiocy. Just get drunk on the plane home and threaten the pilot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the photo was taken just after the tsunami a few years back, when they flew a helicopter over the island to see if they were okay. They well and truly shat themselves, having never seen a massive noisy metallic hovering bird before, and flung spears at it. And you thought you had problems Throbber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'll be alright I just felt like having a rant, was mostly my girlfriends fault for being too lax about the time. I'm still going to send an email and sign it off as throbber regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
