What's the most disastrous journey you've had to get somewhere?

Got beat up by aggressive locals on a trip. Spent the night hiding from them. Caught a train in the morning, arrived home completely exhausted in the evening, crossed tracks with some other passengers to save on walking upstairs. Got a ticket for crossing the rails because, beat up, i looked like a bum.

About a year later it was legal to cross the rails in that spot, with no changes made to the infrastructure.
