And let’s not forget the time we have to spend in the chaotic traffic to get to work and then return home. However, some choose a less conventional means of transportation to carry out their routine.
You’re on a plane heading to an important astronomy convention when you see a large figure outside your window that eclipses the whole Sun. You spit out all of your coffee, and everyone in the plane stares outside in shock. You then notice that it has rings like Saturn. You were supposed to fly to Japan, but you’re forced to land in California.As soon as you land, you look up in the sky and see some more giant planet-like structures floating around in the sky. Everyone is taking pictures and trying to figure out what’s going on. Suddenly you notice a huge ball of fire crashing down near the airport. Everyone scrambles for safety, and luckily, it ends up in the middle of the runway with no one around. The bad news is that there’s no more runway for planes to land.

Planning a trip? Make sure you have the essentials in your wallet. Your ID, bank cards, a crayon, foreign currency... Wait, a crayon? Yup, you heard right. Some avid travelers swear by always keeping a crayon inside their wallets. Here’s why.Crayons can always write. If you need a writing utensil, they don’t need to be sharpened, and they never run out of ink. If you drop a pencil, the lead inside usually breaks, making it impossible to get that satisfying sharp point ever again. Traveling with one could jostle it a lot, meaning you’ll need to be sharpening, and sharpening, and sharpening. Pens and planes... not a great match. The rapidly changing air pressure in the cabin can cause your pen to burst, oozing ink onto all your belongings.
The plane had been in the air for a mere 25 seconds when the pilots noticed weird noises and bizarre vibrations. They tried several ways to improve the situation, but nothing worked. The engine surges continued. And just over a minute into the flight, when the plane reached 3,000 feet, both engines failed: first, the right one; two seconds later, the left one. The pilots decided to return to the airport they had just left. At the same time, they tried to restart the engines. Nothing seemed to work. The flight crew made a decision to pitch the plane down and then level it off. Perhaps it could help them gain some speed for the glide! But soon, they realized they wouldn’t make it to the airport. Was the plane going to crash?! That’s when the Miracle at Gottröra occurred.

You spill your morning coffee, miss the bus by a split second, and then you step into a puddle that seemingly came out of nowhere.

In fact, there’s a whole club of “unluckiest people” who have taken to the internet to share their hilarious tales of woe. These are the 21 people who prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that sometimes it’s just not your day.Take Sarah, for instance. She was all dressed up for a job interview that she’d been preparing for weeks. Everything was perfect — until a bird decided to use her freshly styled hair as target practice. Or think about poor Mark, who managed to lock himself out of his apartment not once, but twice in the same day. It’s almost impressive how life finds new and inventive ways to keep him out.Then there’s Lily, whose quest for a healthy lifestyle took a hilarious turn when she slipped on a banana peel while jogging. Yes, you read that right — a literal banana peel. It’s like something out of a classic slapstick comedy. And let’s not forget about Alex, who managed to send a text to his boss about how much he hated his job... only to realize he sent it to his boss instead of his friend.But it’s not just individual tales of misfortune that make these stories so relatable — it’s the collective “I’ve been there” nod they inspire. Who hasn’t experienced the sheer frustration of waiting for an important call, only for your phone to die at the exact moment it starts ringing? Or how about that moment when you drop your toast and it lands butter-side down, defying all laws of probability?These stories remind us that life doesn’t always have to be taken seriously. Sometimes, all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all. Sure, getting caught in the rain without an umbrella is a hassle, but it’s also an opportunity to dance like nobody’s watching.

They bridge the gap between strangers, uniting us through shared experiences of spilled drinks and wardrobe malfunctions. They remind us that perfection is overrated and that the unplanned moments are often the ones that make the best stories.So, the next time you find yourself slipping on a banana peel or realizing you’ve been wearing your shirt inside out all day, take a deep breath and join the club of the “unluckiest.” Embrace the chaos, roll with the punches, and know that you’re not alone in your quest to navigate the hilariously unpredictable journey called life. After all, we’re all just 21 people in a world full of unplanned moments, proving that sometimes, it’s just not our day — and that’s perfectly okay.
You’re on an expedition through the swamplands of Florida. You run into some sinkholes ... oops, was that a crocodile? Watch out! Suddenly, you reach an asphalt road. It looks a lot like a runway, but there’s no airport building around. You decide to inspect it, and a walk down the runway takes you around half an hour! At the end of it, you notice a trailer. There are 4 people inside. They tell you you’ve accidentally run into what was supposed to become the largest airport in the world. 5 times the size of JFK, to be more precise.
You’re traveling by train and hear the wheels banging against the tracks. But suddenly, the train rises and gains altitude. None of the passengers scream in panic because this is a regular thing now. Well, maybe not yet, but it might become our reality anytime soon! Akka Technologies company is developing such a project. Their goal is to reduce travel time and make trips more comfortable. To travel today, you need to get to the airport, spend a few hours there at the check-in and security check. And only after that can you board the plane.

It means you use at least three different types of transport.
In the airport, they usually ask you to take your laptop out of your backpack and put it in a separate bin while going through the security check.

If it’s out and is on its own in a separate bin, it’s easier for the scanners to capture a prospective hazard.

Many airports have carpets in their gate areas. This nicety usually comes with a few other perks: lower ceilings, comfortable seats, and pleasant, natural lighting. All this costs more for airports, and carpets are not as easy to clean as hard floors are, but they create a cozy feeling for passengers waiting for their flight, making them more relaxed. Still, it isn’t just a gesture of goodwill on the part of airports: according to social research, calm passengers are about 7-10% more likely to go window shopping and actually buy something in the lounge area or duty-free zone. So by investing in the passengers’ comfort, airports actually increase their own income.

Even approaching some famous people requires doing a double-take. This is mainly because many celebrities have their own “twins” in showbiz, and it’s really hard, even for their colleagues, to guess who is who.

Good designers don’t necessarily create something new from scratch. Sometimes, a brilliant design is just a little detail that makes a good thing even better. A suitcase with a built-in scale can save you the trouble of paying extra money at the airport check-in counter, while a shopping cart with a magnifying glass will let you read the tiniest letters on product packages.
We’re all looking forward to the next vacation season, and we’re all happy when it’s actually time to pack our bags and leave our regular life behind for a couple of weeks. But it’s also true that when we decide to spend our vacations in a remote place, we’re probably getting there by plane.

But there are ways to avoid — or at least minimize — the reasons to worry before a flight.
