Missed flight horror stories: Share your experiences

I had a missed miscarriage, and it was a very difficult time. But after proper medical treatment and a lot of emotional support from my family, I was able to recover well. I followed the doctor's advice strictly on diet and rest. Now I'm in good health and have the hope to try again in the future.

One of the worst things is the stress and frustration it causes. You feel so stupid and angry at yourself or the situation. And then you have to deal with the chaos of trying to find a new flight. There could be long waits at the airport, uncomfortable seating while you wait, and the uncertainty of when you'll actually be able to leave. It's not a pleasant experience at all.

My colleague was rushing to catch his flight. He had a big suitcase and was running through the airport. But as he was running, the handle of his suitcase broke off. He had to stop and deal with that mess. In the end, he missed his flight. He still laughs about it now, especially when he remembers how ridiculous he must have looked trying to run with a broken - suitcase.

I heard about a guy who overslept in the airport hotel. He had set multiple alarms, but his phone died during the night. He rushed to the gate only to see the plane leaving without him. He then had to scramble to rebook his flight while dealing with the embarrassment of missing it in such a silly way.

One of the best flight attendant stories I've heard was about a flight attendant who calmed a very nervous flyer. The passenger was terrified of flying and was on the verge of a panic attack. The flight attendant sat with the passenger, held their hand, and talked them through every little noise and movement during takeoff. By the time the plane was in the air, the passenger was much more relaxed.

I once had a vacation horror story on a cruise. There was a norovirus outbreak. People were getting sick everywhere. The smell was awful, and the ship was constantly being cleaned. But it was really difficult to enjoy the vacation with so many ill passengers. It made me feel so uneasy and I couldn't wait to get off the ship.

One horror story could be dealing with the lack of understanding from society. My son with autism was once having a meltdown in a public place and instead of getting support, people just stared and made unkind comments. It was really disheartening as a mom.

On a beach holiday once, I got stung by a jellyfish. It was extremely painful. I was just wading in the water, not too far from the shore, when suddenly I felt this sharp pain. I had to be rushed to the local medical center, and it really ruined my otherwise perfect beach holiday.

I heard a TG transform horror story where a person wished to transform into a beautiful creature through some magic. But the magic was cursed. As the transformation started, their skin started to peel off in chunks, and new, scaly skin grew in its place. Their eyes bulged out, and they grew extra limbs that they couldn't control. It was a nightmare as they were trapped in that form, unable to reverse the process.

A drug addict parent might neglect their children's basic needs. For instance, they could forget to pick their kids up from school because they are too high or busy getting drugs. This leaves the children feeling abandoned and confused. In addition, there could be instances where the parent is so out of it that they expose the children to dangerous situations, like having drug - using friends over who might be a threat to the kids.
