‘I once got a taxi home with my boyfriend. I told the driver “third left”. He must have miscounted and he turned and the second left. We got out the car and obviously couldn’t go into any houses. For some reason the taxi driver didn’t drive off so we hid behind a car.

‘When he eventually drove off, we walked back to my actual house. Thinking back, he probably waited for a while because we were quite young (15/16) and he was probably checking we got home safe.’

‘My wife and I, along with three kids of our kids, on our first family holiday abroad, first time flying as a family. Arrived at Munich at about eight o clock at night, and set off from the plane in search of our luggage. A whole bunch of people from our plane joined a queue along the concourse, so we just joined it too.

‘It took a whole 15 minutes of waiting in this queue before we found out they where all waiting for their connecting flight somewhere else. The luggage was a further hundred yards down the way.’
