What do you miss most from the days before the internet's glowing screens took up all our time? It turns out that lots of people have things they're nostalgic for! As numerous Twitter users shared , starting with @ThatEricAlper's prompt tweet, people miss everything from getting catalogues in the mail to being harder to get in contact with. I still recall the days of having to travel to a library if I wanted to use a computer. We just didn't have a computer at our house at the time, and cell ph…

A pair of travelers are certainly not going to be friends anymore after this disastrous ending to their trip . Some posts on r/AmItheA**hole require a lot of nuance, but in this story shared by u/Spare-Possibility750, commenters nearly unanimously said the OP was a huge jerk. These two women, the OP and her friend Emma, traveled to California to see the sights and snap a bunch of photos. The OP writes that they were staying with one of Emma's friends, and it seems that Emma or her friends coord…

Traveling exposes you to all sorts of people, whether you want to be in their presence or not. The teen in this story is clearly used to dealing with entitled people, and the way he put this Karen in her place will surely resonate with that woman for a long time to come. “I saw this today and I can't stop laughing,” shared u/WhatTheH*ll431 to r/entitledparents. They wrote that while traveling on their city metro, there was a dispute over who should sit in the reserved seats, meant for disabled…

No bus trip would be complete without someone have a conversation extra loudly on their cell phone. Bonus points if it's on speaker, which is the way the woman in this story chose to chat with her grandson. Bus journeys can be really great — you can gaze out the window at the scenery, listen to music, or take a nap while you travel to your destination. That's if all goes well, and let's face it, usually there's at least a few passengers who can't get along . On the r/MaliciousCompliance subredd…

Although this couple has been together for a while, they seem to have some communication issues that need addressing. In a post to r/amiwrong, a guy going by the name u/blunderous wrote to get some opinions on the relationship blunder he's currently going through. Basically, the OP travels with a few friends annually to hang out, and this time, he's traveling to two different cities. Instead of asking his introverted BF if he also wanted to come along, the OP just assumed he didn't want to go.…

I thought I'd heard every travel hack , until I read this one, that is. I can truly say I've never thought about treating my luggage the way this woman plans to. Airports are quite strict with their luggage requirements. If you don't look it up before you go, you'll be stuck with a suitcase that's too big or too heavy, meaning you'll have to cough up some cash to fly your precious belongings along with you. And heaven forbid you have liquids that are more than 3.4 ounces, or have a carry on tha…

No one ever agrees about this debate. Depending on where you're sitting on the plane , your point of view changes on this too! The evergreen debate being had on r/AmItheA**hole is from a frustrated husband who recently flew with his wife. It seems like the trouble started right from the beginning of their flight . The dude behind the OP's wife was playing a game on the in-flight TV, meaning that he was jabbing at the back of her head! If that wasn't annoying enough, the OP's wife was really sle…

“I know the law better than you,” insisted the American tourist who was visiting another country.

Be prepared for culture shock when you travel to a new country! As these traveller shared, the traditions, norms, and day-to-day life will be completely different once you travel from the USA to Europe . For future travelers, these folks compiled their experiences that made them say “What in the world?!” Many people reflected on the history going back hundreds or even thousands of years longer than the USA. Locals are totally used to it, of course. Some people mentioned the trend of eating dinn…

Traveling by train can be so relaxing… but only if you're able to actually sit down and enjoy it. This guy was probably expecting a chill train voyage. U/Magnus_40 was traveling from Edinburgh to London , and they were ready to enjoy a great view with the window seat they'd booked. Train travel is absolutely one of the best ways to travel . Watching the view from the window makes time fly by. Plus, unlike airplanes, you're able to walk around pretty freely, and on lots of train lines, you can b…

This host played stupid games with his guests and won stupid prizes. This person had a pretty strange experience last time they travelled. As they shared to r/Pettyrevenge, the OP travelled out of town for a few days, and brought along their girlfriend and her pet dog . Since the place did permit pets, the OP thought it would be smooth sailing for the three of them. But upon meeting the owner of the Airbnb , there was an immediate issue. The host told them about a $25 dollar fee up front for br…

These tourists had no clue how to act while traveling abroad, so they directed their silliest questions at their tour guides.

Being stuck at the airport can be excruciating...

Living with your pals is a risky move, even if you're life-long friends. This guy shared the story of his two awful roommates , Lisa and Jay, who decided to share a living space. As the OP wrote, “Every bone in my body is saying this is a bad idea, but I give it a go." Despite their hesitation, the first few months went fine for the OP and their two roommates. But then, things started to shift. The two began acting oddly, like the GF, who suddenly shows up with a $500 phone and TV bill, claimin…

The commute to work is supposed to be a sacred space of personal time, but this woman's cheerful coworker is ruining it for her. As u/PersonalYesterday865 wrote to the British Problems subreddit, she's struggling with her people-pleasing ways. She's not quite sure what to do about her friendly coworker who just started working at the same job as her. The OP has learned that they take the exact same commute, and as an introvert, she's freaking out about losing her much-needed alone time. Luckily…
