Question

I'm down sick today, so need a laugh!! What is the funniest thing that you have seen or done while traveling?

Thanks!

Answer 1

First thing that comes to mind is a t-shirt we saw in Paris on a well endowed, pretty gal...it said "you must be this tall to ride this ride".  We laughed all the way to Prague.  It still makes me laugh.  Best t-shirt I have ever seen.

Answer 2

I was in Germany studying abroad in high school three years ago. I got really drunk and blacked out. I woke up in France.

Answer 3

I was standing 5th in line to get my boarding pass at Aero Continente in San Andres Island, Colombia. The couple in frony of me were from Austria and a few people cut in line in front of them. We talked a little about people "pushing" into the line in front of people. We stood there for a few minutes and the woman who issues the boarding passes finally came out. She saw me and recognized me as I was a frequent traveler. She called me to the front of the line, issued me an upgrade to first class, and signed me in. I walked back past the couple I had been talking to and told them I didn't push...she pulled?

The couple obviously were not happy and maybe said something to the lady at the counter after receiving their boarding passes. The lady called the couple back to the counter, took the boarding passes back, refunded the airport taxes, etc. Needless to say the lady knew the other two airline empoyees and told them not to sell the couple any tickets. I learned later, the couple spent an extra six days on the island.

Moral of the story? Do not anger the person who issues the boarding pass. You may be going to London but your bags might go to Moscow!

Answer 5

This was kindof funny...

So my fam was going on vacation and we stopped @ one of those Hardee's. And you guys know how the bathrooms in there have like, LOTS of different areas and turns and how they're huge?

K, well my little bro (who at the time was probably 6) went to the bathroom and insisted on going alone. We waited for him for like 10 minutes and then my dad had to go looking for him. They came out and lil bro was crying becuase he had gotton lost in the bathroom for 10 minutes! XD

Answer 6

Me and my stepdaughter, driving to Queensland from Victoria in Australia (1600km) We were pulled over for a breathaliser and turned off the main highway. I passed, and we drove off and headed up the highway just cruising along when I realised I didn't recognise any landmarks. We ended up in Walgett, well out of our way on the Castlereagh hwy. A quick detour up the Gwydir hwy to Moree and we were on the right track. Not really funny, but enjoyable. The people in Walgett went out of their way to help, apparently they don't get many visitors. Lunch was grand.

when i went to newquay last yr with some mates we stayed in a caravan. we decided to stay in for one night to save some money but at about 8pm a fuse blew and we couldnt find the fuse box to turn the electricity back on. we went to the people in charge but they had gone home and most of the people on the site had gone out so we had to spend the night with no elctricity or heating. we had the lights on our phones but after a couple of hours all of our batteries went  and we were just sitting in our caravan in pitch black freezing
