Breathing people said.
The Telegraph (UK) published in March a list of twenty ridiculous complaints made by tourists (I presume the British holidaymaker variety). The majority centre around accommodation, animals and perceived bait-and-switch tactics (“the sand in your brochure is white but the actual beach sand is yellow.”) Comments like these are depressingly run-of-the-mill from the mouths of tourists on their first foreign outing. The sorts of people who imagine their vacation destination in terms of a carefully controlled paradise operating on the engine fuel of happy service to the tourists whims; not, God almighty, aware that the dream-land is in fact called by many others as ‘home’ by the Two specifically are walking the line of ludicrous: "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners." and "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."
