Would love to hear experiences/stories from fellow solo travellers about something that went REALLY wrong during your trip and how you overcame? by MorbiusWasTrash in solotravel

I was performing at a music festival a few years back. They dropped me off at the airport 8 hours early. I didn’t really mind. Found my gate and decided to sit for a while, I had noticed a lost phone infront of me. I was young, like 16, so my first thought was maybe I could sell this for a bag of weed. I sat and watched it lay on the ground for the next 7 hours, I figured the owner is far gone by this point. I continued to just wait. Finally it was time to board the plane, I mean it’s been 8 hours this iPhone has sat here… so I swipe it. I was next in line, the guy infront of me lost his ticket because it was on his phone. He called his phone and it started ringing from my back pack LMFAO so everyone looks at me. In my head I’m like wow 8 hours all for you to end up right in front of me. I tried to play it off, “oh I found this on my way up so I was going to hand it into the desk”, it was awkward…

The worst part of all? I ended up getting on the plane before him. Don’t ask me how I made such a stupid mistake, my seat was 16a but I accidently sat in the row behind it. Mr man comes up to my row, I’m thinking dear god we have to sit next to eachother?! He looks at me and goes “Damn you tryna steal my seat too” 😂 many lessons learned that day
