We've all been there. The meticulously planned holiday that suddenly goes wrong in every way possible. A delayed flight causing a mishap of scheduling problems, the unsettling realization that your luggage might be touring a completely different continent somewhere around the world, or that memorable moment when the 'cozy beachfront accommodation' you booked turned out to be a scam on Airbnb. However, these vacation fails, while frustrating at the time, often turn into the funniest stories in our ‘inventory’.
After all, it's not just the picture-perfect sunsets and good food that make a trip memorable. Sometimes, it's the unplanned detours and unexpected misadventures as some would describe them as 'fails' that end up defining our personal travel experiences, reminding us of the unpredictability of life!

"This ugliness arises because airports are full of people who are tired, cross, and have just discovered that their luggage has landed in Murmansk (Murmansk airport being the only known exception to this otherwise infallible rule), and the architects have on the whole tried to reflect this in their designs." (Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul)
Donkeywheel 2 years ago (edited)
In all fairness, it is becoming less and less frequent and this picture cannot be recent in 99% of the world for technical reason. The logistical chain has completely changed over time and lost luggages are an exceptional event (the main reason being theft). Luggages sent to the wrong airport is close to non existent. The worst you may have to deal with is waiting for the next flight to your destination if somehow your luggage missed your flight (short stopover..). And it will be delivered to you by the airline where you’re staying (iata rules).

I have personally seen an item of luggage fall off the back of a cart on its way to the plane. Fortunately, it was spotted and loaded. Also fortunately, the breakable souvenirs weren't packed into my dad's bag, because they probably would have been broken from the fall...

There is a story written by a driver on the London Underground of a train (his) ending up on the wrong track - signalling/points error he didn't catch - so it does happen. However, I suspect your passenger did the same thing as OP. I'll confess, I once leapt onto a train whose doors were closing, got a round of applause from the gaggle of old ladies in the priority seats, and then had to ask them if I was actually on the train to Glasgow. It would have detracted from the entirely slick entry had I been on the wrong train. (The station in question was close enough that it had a board displaying the platform of the next train going to Glasgow, rather than just relying on the usual departure board. There was a train there when I got to the platform, I jumped. Fortunately correctly. And, given we were so close to Glasgow, I got laughed at by pretty much everyone who heard me ask. I do miss that place.)

Expectation vs. Reality Of Traveling 2,874 Miles To See The Cliffs Of Moher
David A Paterson 2 years ago (edited)
I actually had a win at the cliffs of Moher. It was awfully foggy and dismal but just clear enough to make out the cliff edge opposite. The photos came out extremely dramatic, like the cliffs were falling off the face of the Earth. Better than if it was sunny.

Should have started from LA - fog might have cleared by the time you arrived. I grew up about 100 miles from there - never saw it until I came home to visit from Oregon, but the view was GREAT when I finally got there.

Plan it out, the travel agencies should tell people about this kind of thing. People, when you encounter this kind of this tell your travel agent; otherwise they think you had a great time. Travel agents need to know about this kind of thing, seriously. Though, a truly great agent should already know.
Sylvia Schmitz 2 years ago
Yes, that can happen in Ireland. And it can quickly change again. We once took friends up Connor Pass to enjoy the view down upon Dingle. But it was so foggy we couldn't even see the sheep grazing two meters from us. And then, all of a sudden, the fog lifted, the clouds parted and a bright ray of sunshine illuminated Dingle in the distance. Like in a computer game: This is the place you need to go to find the hidden boy hero.

not worth it. There's so many more pieces of art in the Louvre worth seeing tbh, because lets face it..we all know the Mona Lisa, go see it if it's quiet, but otherwise, enjoy the lesser known art and find something new. (or you can go visit L'Orangerie nearby, and view monet's work. Idk how busy it gets there though, because I was lucky that whilst the mona Lisa was packed, L'Orangerie wasn't. and was pretty empty)
Me, Myself, and I 2 years ago
The painting on the opposite wall is worth seeing! The Wedding Feast at Cana was stolen from the San Giorgio Monastery in Venice by Napoleon's soldiers during the Italian campaigns of 1792-1802. The painting is so large (6.77 m × 9.94 m) they had to cut it in half to carry it and you can see where it was cut. It's the largest painting in square meters in the Louvre's collection. It's also remarkable for its artistic composition and technique. A fascinating piece of work and most tourists don't even look at it.

Agreed. I was lucky enough to go in my late teens (70s) and it REALLY made an impact on me. Seeing something like the Venus de Milo right in front of you was breathtaking.

I Forgot To Put Sunblock On My Legs During A Kayak Trip On The Lake
Lucy 2 years ago
Too many burns on this post 😢 if this happens rinse the area in cool water for 20 minutes and keep the area moist with a burn gel. Aloe helps a ton too. Aspercream or anything with lidocaine is a lifesaver. Prevention is key! Spf should be a broad spectrum no less than 30. The amount you apply matters. 1/2 tsp for the face, full oz for the body. Reapply every two hours or 60 minutes in water. Wear Spf everyday, not just on vacation. Driving your car or being in front of windows exposes you to the aging rays. Spf not only prevents cancers, but you’ll also age like milk and have a ton of brown spots if you don’t wear it.

It is not the inconvenience, it's the disappointment. If you are traveling a large distance and you know you will probably never be there again for the rest of your life and you get there you can't see it, that's terribly disappointing.

To those who got sun burnt, tough s**t. You should have applied sun screen. To those who were greeted by a hoard of tourists, please remember that you are part of the hoard.

I feel so bad for these people lol But my favorite part of all this list were the people in the comments who were just looking at the bright side of the problems <3

These people are so lucky, being able to travel. There are so many of us, myself included, who will never be able to take a vacation. The last time I went on vacation was in 2008 and it's probably the last one I'll ever have.

Times can change. I never thought I was gonna get 12000 miles away and visit the SE Asia area, but it happened! Had to wait till I hit 55, but it happened.

Poor planning, weather, and lack of common sense for the most part. If you go to a tourist destination because you saw it on social media, chances are it's going to be packed. It's destroying small, lesser-known destinations. Every time is see those "small town destination everyone should see" posts I find out where I'm not going. These places aren't built for the amount of traffic they are getting.

If you are looking for culture of a place, go off the beaten path.

So half these people complained about normal weather conditions, another 25% are clumsy, and the rest wouldn't have been disappointed if they'd done a minimal amount of research on their destination.
