Over the months I heard a fair few odd remarks and questions that left me wide eyed and speechless. So I thought I’d share them with the world!
10 Most Ridiculous Things Heard In A Hostel
- “Who do we ask if we want fried eggs and bacon for breakfast?” – really?! The lady at the corner store when you’re buying the bacon and eggs.
- “Do you know how to get to the airport on public transport” – yes, I know because I answer this question 20 times a day despite the fact that you’re holding a map of the public transport with the links directly marked out, oh and there’s a poster on the wall too.
- “Like, OMG, they have the most amazing mall here” – you really didn’t travel all the way to Budapest to visit the shopping centre!
- “So, how far is Hungary from Budapest” – *face palm*
- “So, what happens if those spare beds in my room are taken by guys?” said by too many girls who had booked MIXED dorms. Check your booking first if you want a female dorm love
- “The cleaner, like, totally threw away the contact lens solution I left on the sink. Like, she could totally destroy someone’s day. (Turning to the cleaner) Do you realise what you’ve done?”- You’ve been here a week, cleaning hours are the same every day so you know when bathrooms get cleared, and it was the tiny packet that a single lens comes in. Get a life. I wear contacts and this would NOT destroy my day.
- “Can you help me carry my suitcase up the stairs?” – No. Have you seen the size of that thing?! If you’ve lugged it around Europe you’re sure as hell carrying it up the stairs.
- “Everyone here is a communist” – purlease, do your research
- “What city is on the other side of the river?” – no no no no no
- “I’m only staying in a hostel to find hard drugs” – *gives sharp clip around the ear* I hate this myth about hostels – we are NOT druggies!! I never have, and never will, take drugs so you can shove off matey
Lots of love,
