auschwitz fo parI was standing in one of the gas chambers in auschwitz berkenau and was looking for the lightswitch when I found a box on the wall that felt like a lightswitch. I said out loud 'hmm probably a fire alarm...' and then corrected myself with 'no there would be no need down here' (I actually meant this because it is basically a concrete bunker with nothing to burn in it), but to my horror I turned round to find our guide staring me down and shouting "This is not the place for jokes!" I tried to explain that I didnt mean it like that, but she spent the rest of the day giving me evil looks. Not very funny but extremely cringeable.
