44 Vacation Photos That Didn’t Turn Out As Expected

He had it on him when we were out and about, but didn’t notice it was missing until late at night. We were playing switch with the family back at the rental, so he wasn’t thinking much about it. Decided to track its location and saw it was at the boardwalk we were at. Went back and looked for about 20 minutes in the parking lot. Found it smashed to bits! Had to go to the Verizon store the next day. At least we know what happened to it.

On a trip with my family, our bags have been at the Madrid airport for the past week. We’ve called the airline twice a day, and all they say is that there’s nothing more that they can do.

On vacation with my little kids. Long travel across Europe and at night stopped for a night in a hotel in Lille near the train station. Before I went to bed, I considered myself lucky to have found free parking. In the morning, a broken passenger window in our car, and the resulting shenanigans with insurance and police. First time in France in 15 years, and I expected to practice my rusty French on different subjects.

Nothing was stolen, as nothing was inside that was worth it. Just have to deal with the aftermath of the damage.

We knew our neighborhood had some bad storms while we were away. As we turn onto our street, we see this.

Think it can't get worse? They had just listed the home for sale about a week earlier.

I’m in a small town and can’t get them repaired u til I go home in a week… Super glue and tape it is then.

We were returning from a 2-month vacation and everything was planned to go fine, we had a connecting flight, it was gonna be a long trip, but when we arrive the airline says that they cannot permit the cat to enter since the plane is rented and doesn't allow pets, they also refuse to issue a refund despite it being thier fault and we weren't warned, we had come here with the same airline, and they didn't give us an issue about it, now we are stuck here for a while with high airline costs and the cat can't go back for a while since his entry and exit permit ends today.

We are on our way home from a nice vacation in Greece, and right when we wanted to stop for the night at the border to Germany, bam...

I came to visit my friends for a couple of weeks. It was a long journey, a train and two flights, but when I checked into a hotel, went up to my room, and opened my luggage, I found one of my three bottles of wine broken. It was in a bubble wrap, which didn't help... And the wine had completely soaked my clothes that I got for the trip. At least (I hope so) I didn't ruin anyone else's luggage. Hell of a start for a vacation.

A 45-minute line to meet Moana (she’s a huge fan), breastfeeding my baby while sweating, my husband fanning me so the baby would fall asleep - all for the big moment… And then our toddler didn’t even want the photo. The real magic of Disney - hahaha, just drama! But we had an amazing trip!

The wood was rotting, evidently, and became too weak and fell out of the frame.

I'm an HVAC technician and was installing a split. He wanted it very close to the corner, and I was prepared to hit a little bit of the stud, but then I would angle it away from the stud to go to the outside unit. I was thinking that it could be electric cables behind it, and I should have brought my cable scanner. The client told me that he was very sure it's nothing behind right there, except for the stud.

Lesson learned - do not trust clients and double-check.
