'[i] Was Locked Out Of My Hotel In 110°+ Florence Heat': 20+ Travel Trials And Tribulations From Tourists Who Couldn't Catch A Break

When it rains, it pours, as a few ill-fated travelers know all too well. Sometimes you can do literally everything right while en route to your destination, and things will still go wrong. 

One dude found that out when they left early for the airport. First, they got stalled by a train that decided to park on the tracks for a full hour! That was followed up by a comedy of errors, leading to them missing their flight. There was just no way to get around that train, and how could they have ever predicted that? 

Other people's worst travel stories happened when they were already at the airport (and let's be real, flying is the worst part of traveling for many of us). Instead of getting on their flight, one person was stuck for more than a day in the airport, snacking on vending machine food. It's not so bad if you get stuck at one of the massive major airports, but smaller ones can be super boring and have few food options. It's not where one wants to spend those precious PTO days: instead of lounging on the beach, you're stuck on a hard plastic chair eating Chilis and hoping your phone doesn't die. Check out a bunch of travelers who shared their most terrible trips ever. 

Next up, these workers started their first days on the job and were asked not to return, like one person who "had to fire someone while we were doing their new hire paperwork."
