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.

I once had a flight delay that was a total nightmare. I was supposed to catch a connecting flight. The initial flight got delayed by five hours. By the time I reached the connecting airport, my next flight had already left. I had to wait for another 12 hours for the next available flight. I was so tired and frustrated, and all the plans for the day at my destination were ruined.

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.

One horror story I heard was about an adult at work who constantly undermined a new colleague. He would spread false rumors about her work ethic and made her feel so isolated that she almost quit. It was a form of bullying that affected her mental health greatly.

One of my worst period cramps horror stories was when I was in the middle of an important exam. The cramps hit me suddenly and it felt like my abdomen was being stabbed repeatedly. I could barely concentrate on the questions and ended up having a really poor performance. It was so frustrating because I had studied hard but my body just wouldn't cooperate that day.

One of the worst poop horror stories I've heard was from a friend who was traveling. He had eaten some really bad street food and suddenly got an urgent need to go. But the public restroom he found was so dirty and smelly that he almost threw up while trying to use it. He said it was the most disgusting and difficult poop experience he ever had.

One horror story I heard was when the best man lost the wedding rings right before the ceremony. He had put them in a 'safe' place which he then couldn't remember. There was chaos as everyone searched for the rings and the ceremony was delayed.
