This morning there was an argument and friend a assaulted b on two seperate occasions.
Friend b and I left for the day and have got back to the hotel to find all of our mess have been stolen which is a huge amount and put us in the awkward position of not knowing if their is an intent to overdose and also the fact without our mess we won't sleep and I will withdraw etc.
Friend a has gone downstairs so we are now waiting for her to return before we decide to call the police and get her sectioned etc. She has no travel insurance so this will really screw her over which I am loathe to do.
I thus require holiday disaster stories!

Oh gosh. Do you think she's likely to overdose, or could she just be trying to force your hand?
I have no disasters...but when I was a kid, we were staying with my uncle one summer and he had a pool (Canada) and my sister would repeatedly push me in, fully clothed, whenever I walked past.
It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Oh good grief!! My only holiday disaster pales into insignificance here- our ferry was delayed because of the weather and we were stuck in some room for hours where the only refreshment available was a blueberry muffin and I have always firmly believed that a muffin is pointless unless it is a chocolate one so this was a great trauma to child me.
Sorry you're in such a stressful situation. Are you able to talk to A and ascertain her intentions?
We think a is doing it to be spiteful/smug but she is not currently in the room and hasn't been for the last twenty minutes.

I have no epic personal holiday disasters but I recall the Boxing Day tidal waves at RYL. Little happens in the world these days where you don't know someone there, and there were RYLers in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Hope your situation smooths out
got no stories to that level... a few missed trains, late flights, etc. a lot of fall outs during a trip making the last few days awkward. worst I have was when I went away for 4 days with a friend, at the time we were both bulimic, and long story short we blocked up the toilet where we were staying. That was VERY embarassing... but ye, that's the worst I can think of that I've experienced
It got sorted to a degree as we mentioned the police and she slapped me so we fled and are in a new room!
Oh the drama llamas

Oh my goodness Cam that sounds awful! I hope the rest of your holiday improves!
I don't think I have any holiday disasters. Well, one time I was quite small and I was on holiday with my parents (in a lighthouse!) and we took our dog, which was allowed, and he was usually quite good, but during the night he took it into his head to tear all the wallpaper off the walls! That was a bit awkward :P But nothing like what you're having to deal with!
"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."
This pales into insignificance really in the context of your story but I pulled my little brother out of the path of a rather fast moving car at Aberdeen airport. That's something I'll never forget!
We were on a beach in Cornwall (different holiday - we went there a lot) and my parents were on the other side of the beach. My step-brother and I were playing on a rock and the sea came in really fast and cut us off. We had to be towed back to shore by 2 lovely kayakers. We were about 7 and 8 and shouldn't have been in the sea on our own, but I guess adults live and learn!

Had you not managed that foxtrot your holiday would be far worse
Thank god for the kayaker ducky and how scary - I nearly drowned once.
Star as a dog lover that made me chuckle!
I didn't sleep I'm thus oober perky with a sore eye though not bruised!
My manager has also replied and she is going to get help.

Oh dear Cam, I'm sorry things have gone pear shaped.
It's not really a holiday disaster but something embarrassing that happened to me at an airport.
We were going through baggage check and my rucksack set the machine off so Mr airport man was searching through my bag and pulled out my pencil case in which he found not one but five pairs of scissors.
My little brother put them in my pencil case without me knowing. I was told I was the most dangerous person trying to board that plane lol
Let us go then you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky, like a patient etherized upon a table

Cam I'm glad your manager is being of assistance. I hope having changed rooms has helped. Sounds like a nightmare!
We had a kind of disaster on a school skiing trip that turned out really funny. Our plane back from JFK got cancelled due to a snow blizzard, which meant the plane was unable to take off. Anywho, our plane was with India Air, so other than a few other people white british people, the rest were Indians. Whilst we were all waiting to for the coaches to be taken to the motel for the night these Indians started getting into massive arguments over who gets to go first. That day I learnt they have some like hierarchy or system of levels in people. I don't know how to explain it properly. Anyway whilst they were having this full blown argument my PE teacher walks over and just casually says "I've got 70 whatever children so I think we'll be going first actually". The Indians just dropped silent and we just started pissing ourselves laughing after we realised he wasn't going to get punched.

My brother had a disaster on another school skiing trip. One that I was too young to go on. He'd got on the plane and your group leader is meant to collect in your passport.. well she didn't. He fell asleep and disembarked the plane when it was time to get off only to realise when he had to show his passport that it was still on the plane. Meaning they would not let him move anywhere. So the security went to look where he was sat but kept going to the wrong seat. Eventually after an hour they found it. Bless him he was only about 13 at most, he was right shaken up. The teacher did get a bollocking though.

Not really a holiday, but my lecturer lost me in London once.
Basically I got stuck at the barriers as my Oyster card wasn't reading, we were in an area of London I didn't know and by the time I got through I realised everyone has left me! Got to street level and was wondering what to do when he came running round the corner. It was hilarious, but scary at the time.
We also once nearly left a Beaver scout at Magna. One of his friends pretended to be him when we did the register. Thank god for headcount checks! We did discover that his friends locked him in the toilet, he was so upset. The driver let him honk the horn to cheer him up though.
For some reason when I was 16 my parents let me go on holiday with two friends, one also 16 and one 18. It was the start of me getting ill and apparently my two friends were also going off the rails slightly. So the holiday consisted of one friend slapping the other and them both massively kicking off, me having a hysterical meltdown panic attack thing, one of the friends deciding she was going to stay in turkey alone rather than come home as means of escape from life and me very clearly saying BYE THEN HAVE A NICE LIFE IM GOING HOME.
Oh and I'm pretty sure all got very drunk and 'befriended' a bunch of random guys...smart eh?

Went to France during a heatwave as a kid, got left in Paris as apparently there was no room on the coach for us. They took a bunch of people (who'd paid) to a really nice place but had forgotten to buy the tickets. The coach drivers had a massive skinful the night before we set off back to England and were still clearly under the influence when we set off driving early the next morning.
Went camping at 16 with a couple of friends, was experiencing first psychosis and chased two people up a path in the middle of the night who were taunting us, with a knife. Had a breakdown on the floor in the toilets. Luckily a nearby family took us under their wing! And a lady died on the bus.
I think they're my worst ones! Hope things get sorted okay Cam.
