No matter how much they’ve traveled, even the most seasoned globetrotter is still susceptible to pulling a dumb stroke.

The Internet’s international jetsetters have revealed their silliest traveling clangers on an online forum.

From getting locked in the toilet of a ferry to being stuck with a bee, they’ve been there and done that.

The slew of revelations came in response to a Reddit user posting, “I just locked myself out on the balcony of an Airbnb in a foreign country for three hours. What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done while traveling?”

One of the quickest to comment was Karenet from Ottawa, who said, “Locked myself in the bathroom of ferry cabin between Bari and Greece. Luckily it was only for about 10 minutes, but I was really worried I would be stuck for the duration of the ferry (15+ hours).

“I had the four-bed cabin to myself. After I escaped, I asked two Americans who only paid for a seat if they wanted to stay in my room. I did it to be nice, but mostly so they could save me if I got stuck again.”

Wazzabi_buzz felt punishing pain for his blunder. “When I was 7 I was at a restaurant in Japan and they were cooking all the food on a table in front of us. I’m pretty sure they call it a “hot plate” or something like that.

“Well, I decided it would be a good idea to put my hand onto the table. Did not end well...”

The user continued to write, “I had a room in Slovenia where you walked in, there was a foyer and then a second door to the room. As I was walking into the room, a bee flew at me.

“I screamed, turned and ran, shut the door and locked myself in the little foyer with the bee that had followed me.”

Standing out as a tourist, Johnny Garisch from South Africa made an obvious mistake.

He wrote, “I paid US$50 to get two bags wrapped in plastic at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (Lusaka, Zambia). They added a 0 because they could tell I had no clue what the exchange rate was.”

无论走过多少路，即便最有经验的环球旅行者仍可能犯些无厘头的错误。常乘飞机出国旅行的土豪们在网上论坛上自爆了旅行中最荒唐的错误。从被反锁在渡船的厕所内，到把自己和蜜蜂关在一起，他们确实干了蠢事。

网友在社交网站Reddit上发帖写道：“在异国他乡的Airbnb民宿中，我刚刚把自己锁在阳台上三个小时。你在旅行期间做过最傻的事是什么？”该帖得到很多人评论回复。最快的回复之一来自于渥太华的卡琳特，写着：“把自己锁在往返巴里与希腊间渡轮客舱的卫生间里，幸好只是大约10分钟，但我真担心自己整个航行期间（15小时有余）都被困在那儿。”

“出来之后，我决定将自己一人独享有四张床的船舱与两个美国人分享，他们只买了坐票。我这么做是出于友善，但主要是因为我若再次被困，他们可出手相救。”

网友Wazzabi_buzz为自己的莽撞愚蠢付出惨痛代价：“七岁时，我在日本的一家餐厅，厨师们在我们正前方的桌子上烹饪。我非常肯定他们管它叫做‘热

板’或类似的东西。嗯，我觉得把自己的手放在热板上试试是个不错的主意。结果以悲剧告终......”

该网友继续写道：“有一次我在斯洛文尼亚，走过前厅后，有第二扇门通往房间。我走向房间，一只蜜蜂朝我飞来。”

“我大声尖叫，转身就跑，关上门，把我连同追我的蜜蜂一起关在了小前厅。”

作为一名资深旅行者，来自南非的网友Johnny Garisch犯了一个显而易见的错误。他写道：“在赞比亚卢萨卡肯尼斯∙卡翁达国际机场，我花了50美元买下两个裹着塑料的包。他们多加了一个零，因为他们看出我完全不知道汇率是多少。”
