To ask for your holiday disasters?

[TatianaLarina]

I’ve sprained my ankle badly.

It’s just me and my iPad, the family are having a great time.

Eurodisney. Hotel. Two days of norovirus emitting liquid from both ends and unable to get out of bed.

And then ds came down with it on the Eurostar on the way home. Bin bags, I tell you.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that

Not a disaster as such, but me and DH went on one of those cheap caravan breaks with The Sun.

On the second day I returned from the camp shop, where the woman had tried to short change me for the 3rd time.

I stormed angrily into the caravan, proceeded to unpack the shopping (slamming packs of biscuits and bacon onto the kitchen counter) and declared "FFS that stupid cow in the shop did it again!! "

Only to hear the words "Errrm excuse me???" coming from behind me.

I turned round to see a bemused and rather shocked middle aged couple, who were staying in the caravan next door

When I turned around,

Sorry, not sure where 'When I turned around' came from at the end??

Jeez I can't even talk about it without getting flustered!

Sounds awful. Mickey Mouse is really the last thing you want to see in that scenario.

Reminds me of a night in a Calais hotel spent vomiting waiting to catch the early ferry.

I love you getting into the wrong caravan!

Aircraft doors close,dh says you've been having an affair as loudly as possible!! No such thing had happened.

Everyone heard.

Spent two weeks with several people off the flight in our hotel.

Came home to find he'd slept around, got a girl pregnant and was protecting behaviour!!

I spent the holiday throwing up blood, the photos the children looked haunted. Never flown with my children again. We take the ferry!!

Nearly being arrested in turkey for having two epipens despite the copy of the prescription and a letter from the gp, ditto the woman on the same ferry who had diabetes.

Went to an holiday Island on last minute deal (pre internet booking) Apartment was dire, a storm landed the first night and we could not get out of the powerless apartment for two days due to.flooding.

That wins hands down.

Blackpool.

Camping in summer in torrential rain - tent nearly washed away as the ground was so hard; we had to rush round creating a makeshift irrigation system using spare tent pegs whilst damming the entrance to the tent with carrier bags .

Sorry I shouldn’t laugh

... beer made everything all right again

Worra

Did it help keep the rain out?

.

Weekend away with a new, very cheap tent. Pouring rain. Leaking tent. DS, first thing in the morning: 'Muuuuum, my bed's all wet but I promise I haven't done a wee in it!'

I was waiting to board a flight to Paris with my family to go to Disney for my 18th. My stepdad boarded first with my severely disabled little brother as they had priority boarding. Two minutes later my stepdad and brother come back and my stepdad announces to the whole departure lounge that they won't let my brother fly as he can't sit unaided, something the travel agent forgot to pass on. Cue my whole family in tears, a furious departure lounge and only one nice French lady trying to calm us until the whole mess was finally sorted by an off duty pilot. Pilot apologised for the 45 minute delay citing "techinical difficulties" but given how the whole plane turned to glare at our family, I don't think the other passengers believed him. On the way back my brother's wheelchair also tested positive for drugs. Apparently it was a faulty machine.

Sadly no, but after a few cans we were laughing damply rather than swearing damply .

Caravan holiday last year at Easter.
Planned it to distress as mil from hell tried to split dp and I.
Ds was teething badly.
Dd 6 fell over a speed bump and rushed to a & e with a concussion.
I had pms and spent most of the time stressed and in tears.
Left a day early and came home to phyco mil at our door
Dp had an itinerary for every second if the day also

Icing on the cake frost school day back was picture day with dds face scratched, stabbed and a black eye

Scabbed not stabbed

Your poor little brother

That reminds me, when I was 21 I went on holiday with chicken pox by mistake. I had felt a bit itchy if I’m honest. But it was summer so I thought it was mosquito bites.

I got on the plane, felt very faint (I don’t have any issues flying) asked to get off (you can’t) and as I leaned forward to put my head between my knees a stewardess pointed out I poxy kind of rash.

I got bumped up to business class due to contagiousness issues.

Diagnosed with la varicelle in France.
