The vacation season is here and we are all excited about that, but be on the look out for these 10 things than can ruin a perfectly good vacation.

We always feel like we NEED a vacation - to get away from work, have a change of scenery, and just relax. We anticipate our departure, we make plans, we get totally excited about vacation and  we can hardly wait.

But how many times have you hit the road, only to have the wheels start to come off your well-laid vacation plans because of small annoyances and unexpected inconveniences?

Voyando.com asked readers to share what things can ruin a holiday or a vacation. Here's the 10 most mentioned annoyances.

1) Bad Service...People are lazy, unfriendly,unhelpful, ungrateful...you've seen 'em.
2)Uncomfortable Beds...You're dog tired from a long day's drive, you just want to sleep, and the bed feels like a sack of potatoes and the pillows are as flat as hotcakes.
3)Expensive...You know vacation is going to cost you money, but you didn't realize it was going to cost you THIS much. Seriously?? $109 at Motel 6?
4)Bad Food..Part of the fun of traveling is experiencing new restaurants and interesting cuisine, but it's always a crap shoot.   Who knew that Harry's Hamburgers was a misprint that was supposed to read Harry Hamburgers....ewwww!
5)Noisy People...Hotel rooms are private visually, but that doesn't mean  you can't clearly hear everything that is going on out in the hallway or in the room next door. Some things are just better left unheard.

6)Expensive/Bad WiFi...You've got your laptop, tablet, or iPad and you're ready to upload your latest scenery photos to Facebook--but, no connection. Bummer!
7)Small Bathroom..I once had a bathroom that was so small, a hand towel would cover the entire floor when I got of the shower.
8)Weather...Nobody controls the weather...and sometimes a rainy day isn't the worse thing in the world --unless you're scheduled to play 18 holes on the nicest course you've ever been on.
9)Destination doesn't look like the pictures...Yeah, those pictures on-line sure looked like paradise...
10)Inconvenient departure/arrival times...Vacations are supposed to be for relaxing, but you end up having to be at the airport way earlier than the time you  would normally go in to work - and then have to dash like an ex-football player in a car rental commercial running the airport to catch a connecting flight.
