Seems like most of the tales of traveler's woe can be summed up like this: You are going to have to deal with things you don't like. Not everyone wants to offend you, and sometimes people make the best of a bad situation trying to cause the least disturbance. So, the difference between whining and a good story is attitude.

For example, I once had to take a bus and was seated next to a large lady who told me she had been on the road for three days. She had lots of smelly food, her clothes told the tale of her endurance and every time the bus rounded a corner her flesh and smell flowed into me, pressing me against the far corner of my seat. But she was nice and friendly and I had no particular complaint to make. She really couldn't help it. So I never forgot that trip, and I have a good story. I still laugh when I remember it. Too bad some want everything sanitized, but it ain't gonna happen. Sometimes its best to go with the flow.
