Waiting around in the airport is a lot like getting stuck in purgatory. Time comes to a standstill, nobody makes eye contact with you, your body aches for no reason, and even if it's 7AM, someone's at the bar drinking a beer. And when you're waiting at your gate in your terminal, nothing matters except getting on your plane and heading to your destination– anything to get you out of this grey, timeless dump.

Selling things online is a fickle business. It starts off fairly simple, you post an ad along with your contact info. You get a couple of replies, maybe get ghosted once or twice, perhaps a prank phone call or two. But the world of online business is a strange one, and it is bound to bring some pretty strange people to your doorstep if you are not careful. Here, in this case, OP posted an ad for a computer, stating the price of 900. Not one minute later, OP got a phone call. At first, everythin…

Even the most experienced traveler gets stressed out about a lot of things at the airport: boarding times, your luggage's weight, TSA scanners, and the classic worry of going to the wrong gate for your flight. These are all things that most people check (and re-check) diligently, that is, of course, unless you're a little too loosey-goosey at the luxury airport lounge.

Here's one travel tip that won't save you any time or money. How do we know? U/garaks_tailor tested it out, so you can learn from their mistakes. The OP's story takes place while they were traveling for work . Many places will offer their workers a per diem while traveling. That way, they can grab a bite to eat for each meal without spending a small fortune. However, not every company gives their employees a lot of money for the task. The OP's company only gave them a little bit of money, and a…

You can hope for the best, but sometimes travel plans are just out of your control.

Planning a vacation with your significant other is the first big step in any romantic relationship because it sets up your vacation expectations for the rest of your life. So what are you supposed to do if you accidentally married a total dud who can't help plan your next dream vacation? Well, go solo of course.

If you're travelling soon, we know a few destinations you can absolutely skip over . These tourists aren't holding back about some of the worst places they've ever visited. From England to France to the US of A, these travellers chose the wrong vacation spots and lived to regret it. While I've been to some of these places and enjoyed them anyway, there are some valid gripes included with the responses below. I completely agree with the person who was lamenting about taking photos in front of a…

Sensible employees are burdened by sensible choices. It's the compulsory reaction of the working class to choose an affordable option versus an expensive one, so when a traveling salesman is faced with a frugal travel choice and a lavish one, they're most likely to pick the cheaper option. However, because company policy isn't always so practical, sometimes the rule-following beancounters come after you for the most reasonable of choices.

There are plenty of pros and cons to being a flight attendant. Let's begin with the pros, shall we? No management on the job, routes are pretty chill, and you have the freedom to explore new places on someone else's dime. Your schedule is pretty flexible. The travel benefits are pretty great, plus you get to meet a lot of new people. Now for the cons… you also meet a lot of demanding travelers who think they deserve to be worshipped. You work with new people, often. Days are long, layovers are…

To a seasoned traveler, flight comforts are sacred and everyone has their little rituals that help dull their mind enough to endure 8 hours of sitting in the same confined seat. Usually those rituals include a little bit of peace and quiet to reach a meditative state, but when you're sitting next to a drunken human toddler on a long flight, tensions are poised to fly high.

When employees attempt to navigate company budgets, usually they have to cut through an outrageous amount of red tape in order to get anything adjusted. Obviously, in the real world, budgeting is simplified with a little leeway, but when it comes to businessmen traveling on the company dime, if you're just a penny over budget, there will be heckity heckin' heck to pay.

Flying used to be a luxury experience. Never for anyone under 50 years old, but it apparently used to be very relaxing and fun. Now, the first thing you experience when you get to the airport is the unnerving feeling someone might have slipped a kilo of illegal substances into your bag while you nervously walk around in your socks… Doesn't sound as luxurious anymore. Plus, if you want any sort of comfort on the flight, you need to dish out the cash. So if you want extra legroom or just the assu…

Family vacations are supposed to be fun for the whole family, not just a few members. But this mother wasn't too concerned about the feelings of the rest of her family, so long as she got a break for herself. Vacations are so great when you're a kid. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the trip! Your parents will take care of all the planning, booking, transportation, and meals, and you just get to run around the beach or an amusement park to your heart's content. This 23-year-old is reali…

Who wants to be sitting on an airline for longer than they have to? Well—due to Southwest's unique seating arrangement, where no seats are assigned, and all seats are first-come-first-serve, the less honest among us are hugely incentivized to vie for priority boarding without having to fork out extra for it. The way people do this is by asking for a wheelchair before they arrive at their gate, which qualifies them for priority boarding from the airline. This frustrated passenger hit out against…

These vacations to Italy and Hawaii sound incredible, so it's a shame it didn't work out as the vacationers planned. Traveling with your friends always seems like a good idea until it's actually time to go. You really find out who people are when they're under stress, and if you've ever traveled at all, you know that things never go completely as planned. Vacationing, as relaxing as it is, involves a lot of moving parts and planning things in advance. Depending on what you do, the planner has t…

Here's a travel tip for everyone out there: don't upset the airport security staff!
