30 Encounters With Tourists From Hell My GF And I Experienced While Working In Iceland’s Tourism Industry (New Pics)
These days, we get submissions not only from the Icelandic tourism industry, but from all over the world and we are always on the lookout for a new story to add to our growing list of to-be-drawn experiences. That is why some of our comics are not Iceland-related, but tell the stories of our friends in other countries as well.
If you find the comics funny and you have some stories of your own, absolutely feel free to get in touch with us and share!
We also recently started another comic about our two cats, which you can find at thehairballchronicles. We also have a Patreon where, among other perks, the comics sometimes take a darker turn. See our previous posts here and here.
We hope you enjoy the comics! Love, Viktória and Antonio

How dare you insult snakes across the globe! Snakes aren’t contributing to the karenhood!

I hate it when people do this. For one, you're messing with precious nature, and two, it's so unfair to those who work at the parks.

"And here are the awesome lights which are created by the lethal solar radiations traped by the magnetic shield of the planet. Some civilizations thought those marvelous glows were the souls of... -Yeah, whatever, I wanted another colour, so I'm disappointed."
THAT is almost exactly how those conversations sometimes go.

I understand that people could be difficult, but few of these comics are unreasonable and shows unprofessional behaviour on the service providers part. I mean, how do you not check the fridges after the pax has left? In spite of taking their money, how difficult it’s it to just make a phone call to confirm the arrival in time on a day before?
Anyone who has ever dealt with tourists will recognise all of these.
I know these comics are meant to be funny - but in fact they make me rather sad. I cannot stand people who always think they deserve something better and everybody else is only there to serve them and worship their stupidity! Having to deal with this kind of behaviour each and every day makes work an ordeal. I truly hope that for each single one of these customers from hell there are at least 100 other tourists who return from their tours happy and thankful that they had the opportunity to see the wonders and the beauty of Iceland!
Hey Yoga Kitty! Thank you for this. Yes, for each of these I met so many other beautiful people! It just evens out! Working in tourism was one of the most rewarding experiences in my entire life! I met hundreds of people daily, and made some great friends! So, yes, sometimes these make me sad, but knowing that it was all evened out makes it better. And the cherry on the cake is: most of these people got what they deserved :)

Anyone who has ever worked in the hospitality/ service industry has experienced dealing with unreasonable and self-entitled jerks and jerkettes. Where do these people come from? On what planet is it ever okay to treat someone like this? What happened to good manners?
I do not know! But I can tell you what I suspect: There is a hidden world just beneath this one where all of the entitled jerks live. They surface from time to time to haunt the rest of us.

I absolutely loved these. It was quite genius how you were able to combine humor with the annoying actions/incidents of all the customers. I don't think I've ever enjoyed reading something about this subject this much until I happened across this thread. Thank you for this, it really lifted my day.
Thank you so much! It means the world to know you like it that much :) On the other hand, I rarely chuckle at people's nicknames, and yours, sir, takes the cake. I laughed out loud!

Sorry that you have to deal with the idiots who come from my country, the USA.
Nah! You guys are golden! There are some others that are WAY worse :) ;)

Ive always wanted to visit Iceland, in fact my husband and I wanted to spent our honeymoon there. You seem like an amazing and professional hotel, is there any way I could contact your business for when this whole corona mess is over? We would be reasonable and punctual guests.. :D
Also, I love your artwork! Thank you for putting a smile on my face today! <3

i love how the drawing aren't the best in the world (no offense! at least they're better than mine!) but the meaning in it makes it good.
Haha, thanks. I am not the most skilled cartoonist around, that's true! But we have a gazillion stories to tell, so who cares :)

I read the previous ones. You guys have an wicked sense of humor. I wish you get "good" tourists most if the times..
Thanks Amir, but should you not wish us the "bad" ones? To get more ideas? :D
Load More Replies... These people are all American... I can just feel it, I work in American retail and health care... yes we are THIS dumb, look at what our social system looks like. Also is any other country interested in adopting a lovely American couple (NOT dumb, but slightly socially awkward) with 2 tea cup humans, 1 fur child and excellent (almost Canadian like) manners? Will work for food and affordable health care
I want to travel to Iceland someday, I've heard it's beautiful. And don't worry, I'm nothing like these stupid tourists. I just hope I don't encounter people like this, because it would take all my willpower not to give them an earful.
Thanks, Yup! Hit us up if you ever want to talk. If you like, you could follow our other two comics @thehairballchroniclescomic and @avjamcomics - both will slowly build up.

Ah, working with the public is already hard... I can't imagine working with tourists. Hats off to the comics and your work!
Thank you! It is hard, but rewarding. This is just a way to blow off steam after interacting with the worst of people.

Working in retail, I can relate to a lot of this. If I imagine I had to handle such tourists, I would be fired after 3 days
No, you would not :) The "customer support smile" is your best friend :)

Well...then just read only 10 or 20? How about that? No one was forcing you to read everything.
