On a holiday trip abroad, our flight was severely delayed. We ended up spending over 10 hours in the airport waiting. When we finally got on the plane, there were more problems. The in - flight entertainment didn't work and the food was really bad. By the time we reached our destination, we were so exhausted and frustrated that it took a while to start enjoying the holiday.
Once I went on a holiday to a beach destination. The hotel we booked looked great in pictures but when we arrived, it was a mess. The room smelled like mildew and there were bugs everywhere. We complained but the staff was unhelpful. We had to find another place to stay in a hurry, which really ruined the start of our holiday.
My holiday travel horror story was during a trip to a mountain area. We were hiking and got lost because the trail signs were so unclear. It started to rain heavily and we were freezing. Thankfully, we had a cell phone signal and were able to call for help. But it was a really scary experience being lost in the wilderness not knowing if we'd be okay.

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.

One holiday, I went camping in the woods. At night, I heard strange growls. I thought it was just my imagination at first. But then I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I was so scared that I froze. I quickly got into my tent and zipped it up tight. I stayed awake all night, listening to the noises outside. In the morning, I found out it was just a wild dog, but it sure felt like a horror story at the time.

The worst for me was when we had a big family gathering for the turkey holiday. There were so many people and so much chaos. The kids were running around, and someone accidentally knocked over the gravy all over the tablecloth and the turkey. It was a mess, and there was a lot of arguing about who was at fault. It really spoiled the mood of the holiday.

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.
