Recently I saw the following tweet and, dear reader, I was horrified.
New crazy airplane etiquette just came out: The guy next to me took up both of our under-seat storage compartments. “Oh, are those both your bags?” “Yeah, sorry, I needed your space too.”

I don’t want to sound like an old man yelling at Cloud, but my God, why are people so rude on public transport these days?! Can’t we get through this horrible experience together?
To this end, I have a request: Please tell me the wildest, strangest and/or worst thing you have experienced while traveling.
Maybe you were stuck on a bus in sweltering heat or freezing cold weather trying to get you from point A to point B. Or maybe you were stuck at the airport for 36 hours without hearing from the airline. Tell me about it!
A bit macabre, but I once heard the story of someone who was next to a body on an airplane because the man next to them died silently in mid-flight. If that’s happened to you, I want to know what it was like.

Maybe you were just seated on a table by an absolute nutcase. For 11 hours. On an international flight. Explain to us the subtle details of that experience!
Or maybe you were on a big family trip, enjoyed a big, fancy meal, and then… everyone got food poisoning. Or everyone had a huge fight. Or someone got lost. If this or a similar misfortune has happened, tell me about it!
Whatever your story is, whether it’s completely crazy or seemingly random, I want to hear it. So feel free to share your story in the comments below! Or, if you prefer, you can fill out this anonymous Google form. Your story could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed post!
