There are memes common to whole Stack Exchange and this one inspired me to ask here . I therefore propose that this space be used to document the memes endemic to travel.se's culture.

One meme per answer please.

    @AnkurBanerjee by clean, toilet references are ok? ;)

    That's what toilet brushes are for.

Then we've got the sh*t question. And I'm not talking about bad questions, but the volume(?) of questions we have about toilets. It's become a thing on here.

For a list of great and sh*t toilet questions click here: https://travel.stackexchange.com/search?q=%5Bhygiene%5D+toilet

  • Like I said, I wasn't talking about bad questions, but toilet-related ones ;)

    Well it's barely 3am where you are so I felt some clarity was needed.

"They refused my visa application for no reason at all"

(...and when they post the formulae, you see parking, deception, forgery, etc etc etc...)

A great meme that occurs globally, not just TSE

I'm flying from New York to New Delhi and I've got 17 iPhones in my carry-on and 37 laptops in my luggage. They are all for my personal use. Is it going to be OK?

    For what I understand, New Delhi to New York may be even worse ;)

Roflcopterexception's "My friend has a question" questions ;)

Since this has been an actual chat event:

Ask a RoflcoptrException-style question

Well of course, we have naked urls. I'd never heard this before, but @hippietrail first started identifying them as a 'thing'. Apparently https://travel.stackexchange.com/search?q=%5Bhygiene%5D+toilet is bad, but toilet questions is good ;)

There's more, but that's all I'm posting at 2.50am ;)

  • @hippietrail I copy and paste: "I'm posting at 2.50am" ;) Fair enough, I'll move one out.

    Shouldn’t that rather be “Can I take [bizarre object] on a plane?”?

According to Gayot's Law rep begats rep.

I have no savings and no job. My distant uncle, who I never met and who has never shown any previous attempt at maintaining relationships with me or my 4 siblings, is offering to sponsor me on a 5 month visit to the UK. The amount needed will be roughly 1/2 his annual salary. Fortunately, this amount has suddenly appeared in his bank account. What should I put down on the form?

How about pnuts the corrector?

I feel like there's a "Lucy the spammer" meme in here somewhere too...

  • Hardly a Travel.SE meme, that spammer's been around other SE sites. And not a meme because the spammer isn't going to keep that name indefinitely (in fact I haven't seen him for a few days now).

  • they've been back several times, with new accounts with the same name :/

  • I know, I've been deleting these accounts on Computer Science. But a spammer using the same name for a week or so doesn't make a meme.

  • It was just a thought; was trying to get the thread going. I'm far more in favour of the toilet memes and Rofl questions

What about asking once more about transit visa in UK or Schengen from X and to Y (typically India>Frankfurt>US), while it has been asked way too many times.
