A man’s three-week holiday to Europe was briefly placed in jeopardy after he shared a picture showing he was missing a crucial item – and people are in stitches at his forgetfulness
A holidaymaker’s three-week European getaway got off to a rocky start when he discovered he’d forgotten something rather important after reaching the airport. The traveller’s embarrassing blunder has since become a viral sensation on Reddit’s r/MildlyInfuriating page, leaving hundreds of users in hysterics.
His oversight has baffled fellow users, who can’t fathom how he managed to navigate his way to the airport whilst forgetting such a basic necessity, yet still remembered crucial items like his passport and luggage. The post on the r/MildlyInfuriating forum has both amused and bewildered readers in equal measure. The passenger revealed: “On my way to Europe for three weeks, realised once at the airport that I forgot to put on my shoes.”
Social media users have found the blunder absolutely hilarious, with many praising the traveller for successfully reaching the airport with his other belongings intact.
One user commented: “Sounds like you’re going to forget your passport at this rate.” Fellow travellers have been sharing their own holiday nightmare experiences, recounting tales of forgotten passports and other essential items that brought their trips to an abrupt halt.
One person shared: “If it makes you feel better…when I was a teenager I lived in Brazil for a few years. Flew to England to visit family at one point.
“Was wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops because it’s Brazil…the temp where I was living never dropped below 70 degrees F.
“My layover was in Brussels, in January, and they parked on the tarmac. I realized my mistake when the flight attendant said “Current local temp is 0 degrees” as they opened the doors to let everyone off to walk down stairs and get in a shuttle bus to get to the terminal.”
Another added: “My family was once on a trip to Jamaica and when returning home, my dad had such bad food poisoning that he was in a fugue state.
“He put his passport in his shoe during security and couldn’t find it to make it on the flight, him and my mom had to rent a hotel room in Kingston to go get a new one from the US embassy. She saw it in his shoe when he went to take a shower and flights were crazy expensive so it was cheaper to stay a couple more days. Crazy setback of events.”
The initial poster confirmed they were journeying to Norway for a three-week break, and their unintentional absence of footwear wasn’t particularly convenient.
They clarified: “I’ll get shoes there I guess cause it might get chilly in Norway but I won’t have my insoles.”
Other users rallied behind the original poster, revealing they had also forgotten to pack crucial items for their travels.
One individual shared: “I accidentally did this on a cross country drive, I didn’t realize until it was my turn to drive a few hours in.
“I thought I’d brought them into the pickup but it turns out I left them at home.”
