Meeting strange people. During a school trip to a city, if you come across some people who act in a really odd or menacing way. They might follow you or say strange things. It makes you feel very unsafe and ruins the whole school trip experience.
Meeting really eccentric characters can be very funny on a trip. I remember meeting a man who was traveling with a pet parrot on his shoulder. He told us all kinds of wild stories. Also, transportation mix - ups are hilarious. Like when you think you're getting on a luxury train but it turns out to be a rickety old one with chickens on board.
Getting separated from the group in a dangerous or unknown place is really scary. Like in a big, dark cave where you can't find your way back.
Getting attacked by wild animals is quite scary. If you're in a remote area doing land surveying, you might encounter bears, wolves or snakes. For example, a surveyor was once bitten by a venomous snake while working in a field. He had to be rushed to the hospital immediately.
Being alone in a large building can be quite frightening. There are so many dark corners and empty rooms. You might feel like you're not alone even though you know you are. I worked in an old office building on the night shift. The hallways were long and dimly lit. I always had the feeling that something was lurking in the shadows. It was so nerve - wracking that I could hardly focus on my work.
One time during a car trip, my friend tried to sing along to every song on the radio, but he was so off - key that it was hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing.
Funny things during camping often involve camping gear. For example, my family had a tent that was supposed to be waterproof. But during a rainstorm, it started leaking like a sieve. We all huddled in the dryest corner and told jokes to pass the time. Also, when trying to start a campfire, sometimes the smoke blows right into someone's face, making them cough and look like a chimney. It's always good for a laugh.
One funny thing is when someone in the car tries to sing along to the radio really loudly and completely out of tune, making everyone else in the car burst into laughter.
Discovering a hidden gem in the destination of the school trip is really cool. It could be a small, beautiful alley or a little - known lookout point. And sometimes, unexpected weather can make the trip more memorable. For instance, a sudden rainstorm on a beach trip led to us building sand forts to stay dry, which was really fun.
One scary thing is when the staff behaves oddly. For example, if they keep staring at you in a creepy way or seem overly nervous. It gives you a really bad feeling right from the start.
On a school trip to an art gallery, I was amazed by all the beautiful paintings. One of my classmates accidentally knocked over a small statue. Everyone froze in horror. But the gallery staff was very kind and understanding. They showed us how to handle art carefully. It was a trip that taught us about art and also about being responsible.
