Everyone does their vacations differently, some focus on meticulously planned days with strict itineraries, others like to lounge around at an all-inclusive. But no matter how you prefer to spend your time off work, basically everyone can agree that broken phones, bones, missed flights and closed attractions are not part of the fun.
So in an attempt to create a sort of reverse FOMO, we’ve gathered pictures from folks whose vacations didn’t go their way at all. Get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments section down below.

#42 Come To Visit My Friends From Abroad To Find A Broken Red Wine In The Baggage
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.

#45 The Reality Of The Parks: It’s Not About The Perfect Photos
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!

#46 Came Home From Vacation To A Full Blown Car Accident In My Driveway
We were given zero information regarding what happened. Everyone was okay. One chain link fence down, otherwise no damage, thankfully.

#47 The Day Before My Vacation, And I Cut Through My Client's Internett Cable
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.
