Where is the worst place you have been stuck for a long time?
In an orange Plymouth Duster with a guy I really didn't like, but had to pretend that he had a chance with me, since I needed a ride home from college over the Thanksgiving break. He was boring and tried to hit on me the entire 16 hour trip. He got lost so we had to bunk down at a farm somewhere in Ohio because he got too crazy tired to drive safely...I couldn't sleep because I was afraid he would try something...worst road trip experience ever...then I had to repeat it, except the farm layover, to get back...double worst road trip experience ever...
That sounds terrible. Glad you made it safely.
@LiterateHiker If he were interesting to talk to, it would have been great...but all he could talk about was muscle cars and how he wanted to sleep with all of the girls in my dorm...ugh...plus he had an Afro( he was white) and wore polyester plaid pants...nightmare...just a nightmare...thanks for bringing it to mind...ha ha ha I forgive you!
In a 20 year emotionally, and occasionally physically abusive marriage to an alcoholic. But I got out.
When I was kid, a friend invited me to play at his house. His mom picked us up after school, but instead of going straight to his house, we stopped at a nail salon because his mom had an appointment to get her nails done. My friend and I had to stay inside the salon the entire time. His mom was a single parent and was very protective of her son. (Once she called her boyfriend, the neighbors, and almost the police because he and I walked a little bit further down the neighborhood than where we were supposed to. She thought we had been kidnapped or something.)
So we couldn't leave the salon and the fumes from the place were intense. I remember having a bottle of Root Beer and trying to breathe in the Root Beer smell instead of the nail salon fumes because it was getting unbearable. Well I got a massive headache while we were there and had to be taken home. I haven't been in a nail salon since then.
I also don't want to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me
Driving across Texas, from east to west, was the longest boring experience of my life.
I was stuck in Venezuela for a week after being mugged on day one by machete point then trying to get passports while everything was closed for holy week, because the police wanted to throw us in jail for not having passports.
OMG! Glad you got away!
Los Angeles Central Juvenile Detention Center
For?
Driving across Kansas.
I can relate. I have made this drive many times.
The ER. 9 hours of hell. Most of it waiting to be seen and in pain. Not fun.
In a rental car half way across the country with someone and we weren't getting along at all, in fact I think she almost wanted me dead. Never been so glad to walk into the Vegas airport alone.
OW! Poor baby!
