Standard EF Complaint Template

I want to complain in the strongest possible terms about <complaint item> in Switzerland.

The other day I wanted to <buy a地pply for a她btain a夙o to> <complaint item> but the person at the <shop她ffice她n the street> was totally rude.

The <complaint item>s in Switzerland are totally pathetic and the ones you find in <insert native country> are far <bigger在etter奸ess smelly>.

It is simply too much to bear.

Cheers,
Nick

I'm sure we could use the Xenophobes guide to Switzerland to come up with many such templates!

Re: Standard EF Complaint Template

You are a guest in Swizerland, you cannot expect <complaint item> to be the same as it is at home. <complaint item> is slightly different here but generally the quality is higher than you will find in <complaint item> in England or America.

Re: Standard EF Complaint Template

We could generalize it, it doesn't apply to Switzerland only:

I want to complain in the strongest possible terms about <complaint item> in <not native country>.

The other day I wanted to <buy a地pply for a她btain a夙o to> <complaint item> but the person at the <shop她ffice她n the street> was totally rude.

The <complaint item>s in <not native country> are totally pathetic and the ones you find in <insert native country> are far <bigger在etter奸ess smelly>.

I dunno, it sounds like a duplicate question to me.

Can I make a snide comment now?

Cheers,

Re: Standard EF Complaint Template

Why is it than when a
<Newbie/New Visitor> to the forum asks a question that they are always made to feel stupid by

<just/a few/some/many/all>
<forum legends/moderators/veterans/Lob/DaveA>

who think because they
<are a superior race/have a brain/ engage brain before posting>

that it is right to
<insult/demean/goad/tease/provoke>
other forum users , just because they don't know how to
<use search/pose a question/start a new thread/respond in correct forum> ?

Well, the moderation on this forum is just too much. Just because I posted a question asking about <laundry rooms宇ax rates存alary levels存atellite tv夷nternet connections如oodle manicure parlours圩inding an apartment安hether my hamster needs a C-permit before I can buy a wheel for his cage> it got moved to the <insert name of forum section that nobody ever reads>.

No, not until Godwin's Law comes into play.

By the way, you should have used the search facility first, and Wikipedia AND Google, there are hundreds of vaguely related subjects with suitable diatribe for you to while away the afternoon scrolling through.

Now please leave Switzerland, it is obviously totally unsuitable for you...
