Share your lost luggage horror stories.
I had a really bad experience flying to Tokyo. My luggage got lost. I was so excited for my trip but then had to deal with this mess. I had no change of clothes for the first two days. And all my souvenirs that I was planning to take back from Tokyo were in that luggage. It was a nightmare trying to communicate with the airline to find my stuff.
My horror story is about a flight to New York. I checked in my luggage as normal but it just disappeared. I had medications in there that I needed daily. I was so worried. I had to search for pharmacies in New York to get replacement medications. After a week of constantly calling the airline, they finally located my luggage at a different airport. It was a huge inconvenience.

This is especially a problem for people traveling for special occasions or business trips where they need specific items in their luggage.

There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.

One of my admissions horror stories was when I applied to a very competitive university. I sent in all my documents on time, but they claimed they never received my transcript.

It was extremely stressful as I thought my application would be rejected just because of their mistake.

I once had a recruiting experience where the company advertised a certain position with a great salary and benefits. However, when I got to the final round of interviews, they suddenly changed the job description completely. It was like they were trying to trick people into applying for a different job. They expected me to be okay with the new demands which were far from what was initially advertised. I declined the offer in the end.

I had a nightmare experience at a dealership. They had advertised a great deal on a new model. When I got there, they added all sorts of hidden fees. The price went up by thousands. And the salesperson was really pushy, trying to get me to sign the papers right away without explaining all the costs clearly. It was a total rip - off.
