Travelers Who Shouldn’t: Traveler Comments That Make You Say “Duh!”
by Mike Richard
John Frenaye over at TripSo.com has an amusing post on 25 “Stupid Traveler Comments” (along with the bemused agents’ unspoken responses).
A few of my favorites:
- How much is a train to Jamaica? (We are sold out, but if you call Amtrak, they have space. Be sure to ask for a seat on the left side of the train so you don’t miss the Lost City of Atlantis on the way down.)
- The hotel would have been fine but all the employees were speaking Spanish. (The next time you are in Mexico, we will order some French-speaking Mexicans for your convenience.)
- I am a vegetarian. Do they have vegetables in Kenya? (It is a strange thing in Africa, countries with two vowels in their names are vegetableless. It is just like some dry counties here in the United States.)
