TL;DR: Today I added to my prestigious list of travel related fuck ups. Here's a list of all fuck ups to mark my legacy.
I wish the fuck ups also added to some loyalty points - atleast that would've helped me recoup some of the cost. Here's the list in reverse chronological order -
- Booked flight from the wrong airport. Casually proceeded to the right airport, only to be called out at the airport entry
- Was waiting at the wrong departure gate and hence missed my flight
- Left my laptop at office - realised at security check
- Misinterpreted revised rules related to pre-boarding COVID screening. Ended up missing my flight because I did not have a negative certificate
- Booked hotel on the wrong dates for my pre-wedding bash with buddies
- Thought that I lost my passport at the hotel (in a foreign country). Went back, did not find anything. Came back to Airport to try my luck with security - but found the passport in my back pocket. Lost 60 Euros in the cab back & forth. Lost remaining 40 Euros in the security tray.
- Boarded the train in the wrong direction. Realized after 3 stations, panicked immediately, and got off at a rural station where not a lot of trains stop for me to go in the right direction. Fortunately, stuck only for 3 hours
Conclusion - Its a new fuck up everytime. Let's see what's next & when.
