The funny requests hotel concierges put up with...!

[Dien Rice]

Two concierges at a swanky New York City hotel have a blog... Telling about all the frustrating requests they get!

Sometimes, it's pretty funny...

Here are a couple I liked...

GUEST: We want to have Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Can you make us a reservation?
CONCIERGE: They don’t actually serve breakfast.
(Guest rolls eyes)
GUEST: Well, brunch then.

(In case you're not familiar, "Tiffany's" is an upscale jewelry store...! They don't actually serve breakfast - or brunch, for that matter! Apparently in the movie, Audrey Hepburn walks past the jewelry store window while eating donuts... That's where the name comes from...)

Here's another (remember, this is New York City)...

GUEST: We wanna do 2 things today: Eiffel Tower, and 9/11.

(That's gonna be a long walk!)

You can see their blog here...

Here are more funny travel complaints. These are apparently real complaints, received by "Thomas Cook Vacations"...

Here are some I liked...!

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

"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."

"The brochure stated: ‘No hairdressers at the resort’. We’re trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

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