Once again, why me?

Why am I constantly at the mercy of the who's who of laziness and incompetancy?

You remember my KLM drama, correct?
Air Tanzania, anyone?
Well now the editors of Lonely Planet seem to have a vandetta against me.

Before leaving Canada, I purchased a copy of Lonely Planet (As I always do). This time it was thee 'Scandinavian Europe' edition. I only had Monday in Oslo before my scheduled flight to London. So I jam packed all the Norwegian sights I've been itching to see into that one day. I head to National Gallery, closed on mondays. Munch Museum, same. Nobel Prize centre, ditto. All museums in the city of Oslo are closed on Mondays, despite what the Lonely Planet has to say.

And as I said, I already had my flight to London booked. In my copy of Lonely Planet, it says buses to the airport leave exactly 3 hours before departure times. Except when I arrived at the bus terminal, it turns out that they leave 3 1/2 hours before departure time. Making me miss my bus then my flight. Costing me time and money because one stupid writer can't do his job and write a few simple facts.

Like I said, why do I constantly have to suffer the consequences of the world's genetic misshaps?
