Share some holiday horror stories.
During my beach holiday, we rented a beach house. One evening, a violent storm hit. The power went out, and water started seeping into the house. We found out that the house had some hidden leaks. It was a nightmare trying to find candles and deal with the flooding water while the storm raged outside. We ended up leaving the house in the middle of the night and finding a hotel.

I had a horrible experience during holiday shopping at a local store. There was a long line at the checkout, and only two cashiers were working. As I was waiting, the person in front of me had some issues with their payment method. It took forever to resolve, and the cashier was getting frustrated. Meanwhile, my frozen items in my cart were starting to thaw. By the time it was my turn, I was so annoyed. And then, the cashier accidentally overcharged me for one of the items. It was just a mess.
