Kissing Oscar Wilde's grave
Judging by the number of lipstick marks on Oscar Wilde's Parisian gravestone, not only is kissing it entirely unoriginal (the great rebel would not have approved), but it also presents a serious coldsore hazard.
Lipstick is also said to be damaging to the stone itself, according to Wilde's grandson Merlin Holland, who has previously asked tourists to refrain. |

Kissing the Sphinx
Wearing a bandana in the desert, like some kind of modern day Lawrence of Arabia, should also be avoided. |

Doing an Atlas
It's not big and it's not clever.

Statue groping
One can only speculate on what this Harold Bishop lookalike was thinking when he posed for this photo, outside Buckingham Palace. Belittling Michelangelo's David is equally unacceptable.

Gaining some perspective
The salt flats of Bolivia. Marvel at the vast emptiness. Stare in awe at the blindingly white and disorientating landscape. Or simply spend two hours inching back and forth trying to make your boyfriend look like a tiny fairy.

Standing on Kjeragbolten
Precariously balanced boulders, like this one in the Norwegian Fjords, are a magnet for gurning tourists. Expect at least one middle-class hippy to pull out the lotus position and disappear into a zen-like trance.

Facing the music in Blackpool
You could be forgiven for presuming that our collective sense of humour had become more refined since these wooden portraits were first placed in beachside locations across Britain. Evidently not. |
