Maybe these people's crazy travel fails will make you feel better about any ridiculous moments of your own.

I went through the TSA & they pulled me aside to search my bag. They asked where I was from & I said VT. They said "do they not sell candy in VT? #TravelFail

    Rectangle - Kitty O'Kelley @KittyOKelley Replying to @jimmyfallon Google maps suggested a different route that would save us about two hours. It failed to mention that there was no bridge at the end of the road and we had to wait an hour for the last ferry across a bay.

    Font - Laura Haug, EdD @haugl76 Replying to @jimmyfallon Guy next to me on the plane was sound asleep. The cheesecake I was served flipped out of the container when I opened it and landed in his lap. Had to clean it off for him while he slept. He was a bit surprised by the remaining mess on his pants when he woke up. #TravelFail

    Font - Karen Conway @karenconway21 Replying to @jimmyfallon I always brought smarties with me on planes to keep my 3 young kids busy. A man across the aisle from me was holding a screaming toddler and looking desperate. I handed him a pack of smarties. He immediately ate them himself and said "wow, thank you" #travelfail

And when I called the front desk to complain and get a new room, I heard someone in the background say “Oh no, not again!" #TravelFail

    Font - Arthur Albert @ArthurAlbertTV Replying to @jimmyfallon Decades ago, on my first international flight: My seatmate took all that was offered to him-wine, steak dinner, cocktails. I declined everything, thinking it would cost a fortune. At the end of the flight I asked him the cost. He said, "My good man it's all included!" #TravelFail
