Waking up early, bags packed, and excited to catch a flight to your next big adventure. Arriving in a new city, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Finally stepping into a spacious hotel room with a breathtaking beach view. All the ingredients for a dream vacation, right?
But just because you’ve planned every detail doesn’t mean the universe is on your side. Suddenly, your plane is delayed by seven hours, the charming cityscape doesn’t look quite like the photos, and that “beach view” turns out to be a noisy construction site.
These unlucky travelers know this feeling all too well, and they’ve captured their unexpected vacation fails to share with the world. Some are funny, others are heartbreaking, and a few are downright shocking. Scroll down and see for yourself!

While I wouldn’t wish a disastrous vacation on anyone, it doesn’t take much to end up with disappointing travel photos. Even after the best trip of your life, you might come back with pictures that don’t quite do it justice. Sometimes, bad lighting, confusing angles, or awkward composition are the real culprits.

My Uncle's Suitcase After His Flight

When you’re on vacation, you’ll likely be surrounded by incredible sights. But Switzer and Carnegis recommend capturing not just the scenery, but also the people with you.
“Take pictures of the view in front of you, but take the cheesy selfies, too,” says Carnegis. “You can Google a picture of Yellowstone, but you can’t Google your kids’ [reactions to it]. Take the time to focus on the people you’re with and the memories you’re making. I think that’s what people miss the mark on most.”

One time, we told the hotel we would be checking in late cuz we were going to a Tom Petty concert. We finally arrive, ready for bed, get our keys to the room....and there's someone in our room. The owner apologized and said he had a room he could give us (the entire tiny town was booked solid cuz of this concert). He processed to walk us up a dark hallway, unlock a door, and a grumpy lady wreaking of cigarettes and two huge dogs come barreling out of the room. Apparently, that was the residential maid and the owner thought he was going to kick her out of her tiny room so we could sleep in the cigarette butts and dog hair...he seriously thought that was an appropriate fix. 😡🤦🏾♀️

I had this happen once. I was 13 and my dad's coworker was leaving a conference early. It was only 45 minutes from home but my dad had a free hotel room so we did a staycation (90s, that wasn't a word yet). The coworker checked out not understanding that this meant his room wasn't still available for the duration of the booking. My sister and I were supposed to share the room and couldn't get in. My dad went to the front desk and explained the situation. They had already given his room away. They gave us a penthouse party room but pulled out the couch bed. My sister decided to stay with my parents and I had a room at least 4+ times the size of a regular room to myself with a lovely night view overlooking the entire inner harbor of Baltimore. Not Paris 😆 But at 13, it felt SO special! Since then I went to college in Baltimore. It's beautiful in it's own dirty, rugged way. I'll never not love Baltimore.
One of the biggest mistakes amateurs tend to make is positioning their subject directly against the light.
“It’s all about the light,” says Switzer. “Always turn your subject to let that light hit it. Always look at the light.”
This might feel counterintuitive, especially when you want that perfect shot of your friend against a gorgeous sunset. But shooting directly into the light often leaves you with an overexposed background and faces lost in shadows.

This Is The Result When I Ask My Boyfriend To Take A Picture. Can’t Stop Laughing
OpheliaPoe 1 year ago (edited)
One of the nurses present when I gave birth was male. Perfectly happy with him and the care he provided! But we asked for a family photo and he took one, it is so bad. I literally look like I am confused after having been hit by a bus. It is the worst photo of me in existence. Granted, I am a professional photographer. BUT I think any woman within a 10 mile radius could have taken a better photo of me.
To take your photography to the next level, learning a bit of basic composition can go a long way. Instead of always centering your subject in the frame, both Carnegis and Switzer suggest trying the “rule of thirds.”
Position your subject in the right, left, top, or bottom third of the image, moving slightly off-center. “It makes it so much more interesting than just a stagnant, ‘Here I am in front of the Golden Gate Bridge,’” says Carnegis.

I used to work for a GPS company, and we had a term for this. Suicide by GPS. There was a lady who used her GPS and ended up running out of fuel in the desert. She was lost for days and ended up dying of exposure before she was found. The GPS system only knows where you are where at some point a road was posted. It doesn't know if the road is still good, or how many stops are on that road, or if it's covered by a landslide. There are apps now like Waze, which rely on consumers reporting, but even this is subject to frequency of use issues.

Many cameras and phones have a grid setting that divides the frame into nine equal sections, helping you visually apply the rule of thirds. Place your subject along the lines around the center square. “This is hard because your brain tells you to keep people in the center,” says Switzer. “But if you watch a lot of movies, you’ll notice everyone’s usually off to the left or right.”

Aside from stuff that's not shown at all, I think the worst goof I've found with GPS is a friend's house being a a mile closer to the start of the road than Google and my Garmin said it was.

On My Honeymoon In Hawaii And Turns Out I Got Ringworm From The Armrest On The Plane

It takes hours to develop. probably at least a day to get to that stage, so it's impossible to identify the cause of the contamination. It's quite unlikely to have been the armrest.

That’s me and Halley’s Comet back in 1986.

I am going to be 101 when the comet comes around again, and I am determined to see the damned thing before I buy the farm. It’s on my bucket list to do before I kick it. So I’m relying on my family history of multiple centenarians—-even back when reaching 100 was so unusual it got you a letter from the president and a mention on the national news on TV—-as well as taking good care of my health and taking advantage of legitimate proven modern life-extending medicine/healthcare to help me be spry enough to get my wrinkly old a*s out into the middle of the desert where it’s guaranteed to be zero humidity, clouds, or rain to block my view.

I think there was something Small in. After a short break I discussed with my wife if in exactly this tire I a bit less pressure than in the other. She said I was exaggerating again. So we decided, I‘ll drive to the next fuel station and check the pressure of all tires. Luckily I drive carefully. Also the other people reacted really good, and let me drove to the breakdown lane. Changing a tire by yourself is prohibited on a French Autoroute. So I‘ve been ripped if from roadside assistance.

When You Find A Screw In Youre Tire 8 Hours Before You Were Supposed To Go On A 14 Hour Trip
Winter 1 year ago
Quite frankly, I wouldn't even be contemplating a one hour trip, let alone a 14 hour trip, with tyres like that, screw or no screw! Driving with worn out and frighteningly dangerous tyres like that, you obviously don't give a fig for your own life, let alone anyone in the car with you, or other drivers and pedestrians! As bald as they are, they're a rolling death trap! You should be ashamed of your lack of care! Yes, I KNOW tyres are expensive... but what's a human life (even your own) worth! Sheeet!
Wang Zhuang 1 year ago
That's not a big deal, OP can get that replaced way before the trip starts
Cat Chat 1 year ago
Those tires need replacing before a long road trip anyway.
Load More Replies... Rodney McKay 1 year ago
Another good use for the aforementioned Shoe Goo. Ease the nail out about 1/4", squeeze in some Goo around it, and shove it back in. Unlikely that the tire will leak during the trip.

Tabitha 1 year ago
If you can swing it, plan your visit in the middle of the week in the off season, or shoulder season (the beginning of the off-season when the weather is still good but the crowds aren’t there—-an example is going to the beach in September after school starts back up, but the weather and water are still warm), when most people are at work and their kids are in school, so there won’t be wall to wall people at the site.

When You Finally Make It To Your Destination And Your Room Is Still Being Cleaned
Leoninus Fate 1 year ago
cause its just concrete, my home is only half furnished, and the carpet's pulled up from flooding inside {A past tenant left the water running before I moved in, so instead of a just new home, I have to build it from the ground up} and it's like that all over doesn't matter how many times its washed or brushed up, it still looks like dirty old concrete
Load More Replies... Tabitha 1 year ago
This one really depends on when you arrived. If the stated check out time is 10AM and check in time isn’t until 3:00PM, then don’t try showing up at 11AM and expect your room to be ready. It’s just plain common sense. It takes time to turn all those damned rooms around and get them ready for new guests to move in. So go amuse yourselves for 4 hours and come back when you were told to check in!

TSA Cut A Perfectly Circular Hole In My Sweater
Leoninus Fate 1 year ago
that looks like a burn, you can see the edges are black and "crisp" that's why it's so perfect, someone placed something on it that burned through it, if it's made from polyester, then the threading wont come undone too but melts together at the edge {like you can see}

People are saying this is a burn. It's not. The black edges are just a thin second layer of black fabric underneath the plaid. Both layers were cut and a bit of the black is coming through.
