| "Don't eat me. I taste like potato!" |
1) Potato chips
One chip shop customer vowed never to return to the Brockworth Fryer in Gloucester after complaining that the chips tasted like potato! The customer also complained about the portion size, but the quote that I found amusing was, "My daughter could still taste the potato in the chips."
Potato chips - the clue is in the name!
2) Upside down pizza
 |
| Pizza. The right way up. |
Asda kindly offered to replace it with a pizza with topping but in the end this wasn't necessary, as the confused dude eventually realised he had made a mistake. This is the moment when the customer makes his amusing realisation:
"I mean look at it, it's just... Ah, wait! Mate, sorry. I've opened it upside down."

3) Merry Pringles!
When a marketing employee at Pringles came up with the slogan 'Merry Pringles!' to celebrate Christmas, it's fair to say that the following twitter user wasn't impressed...
 |
| "Merry Pringles!" |
"How is this a pun? You could have had 'Pringle Bells' or 'Merry Crispmas', you stupid *********."
He's not wrong. Pringle Bells and Merry Crispmas are much better puns than Merry Pringles! Maybe Pringles should recruit the twitter user who posted the suggestions to their marketing department.

4) Suntan trouble
I've featured holiday complaints before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but the stupidest complaint has to be:
"We were told we would get a great tan, but we stayed inside all day and didn't get one."
Do they not understand how suntans work? If you don't go in the sun, you don't get a tan, so to be fair, I don't think you can really blame the travel company for the laws of biology!
5) Watertightstones
Most of the complaints so far have been either silly or light-hearted complaints, but this next complaint was a legitimate grievance...
I can't imagine how the staff could end up locking the store when there was still a customer inside, but I'm glad he was freed in the end!
6) Strictly Come Complaining
A disgruntled viewer complained to the BBC about the name of the show 'Strictly Come Dancing' because he claimed it wasn't an accurate representation of what the show delivers.
Of all the things to complain about the BBC, I have to say that the name of a dancing show would be pretty far down the list!
7) How to reduce complaints
One way to reduce your number of complaints is to provide an excellent service, but it's not the only way. Here's another effective method for reducing complaints...
 |
| "Complaints. Press for service." |
"What a brilliant company we must be! We haven't had any complaints!"
8) False advertising
This is a story I've featured before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but it's so ridiculous that it deserves another mention. Without a doubt, the stupidest complainer in this week's round up was a woman who complained to the police after she hired a hitman to murder someone for her, and they didn't complete the job!
What exactly was her complaint? False advertising!?
9) Mum's the word
Here's another complaint from twitter, and the reply from Tesco which prompted an amusing response...
Sheikh Shake: "Tesco selling something nearly two weeks out of date. Not cool."
Tesco: "I'm really sorry about that. Can you tell me which store this was in please?"
Sheikh Shake: "I'm not a grass."
Just because his local Tesco sells items which are out of date, that doesn't mean he wants to get them into trouble!
