For me it is usually just the time it takes.
-
For long trips, I usually take the train. I bring my laptop with me to pass the time. What bothers me the most is the limited selection of food.
-
The heat at times
-
The journey to the destination always seems to take longer going there than coming back. I travel by bus on long journeys from one part of the country to the other and the lack of proper air conditioning can be a problem.

motion sickness

Definitely my back! Great question!! +5
-
BOREDOM!!!! Unless I'm riding my Harley, then it's my butt getting tired! : )
-
The boredom. After a few hours the scenery looks the same.
-
when i see something that catches my interest, like a building, landmark, etc, i am unable to further check it out.

Being stopped and backed up for miles because of "road work". It took us four days to get from eastern Oklahoma to east Tennessee the last trip we made. Two days is normal,...that includes stopping and sleeping. I am sure it was all needed, but it was really a pain. We even had to take two detours to get through Memphis. Just bad timing, I guess. I hope next summer will be smoother sailing. Oh, I love you all, Arkies and Tennesseeans....You are the "salt of the earth". You were all very helpful. It was a sort of a sad trip as it was to a funeral of a cousin.

Road work and an accident that's off to the side of the road or even on the other side of the road but everyone slows has to down to take a look and thus backing traffic up sometimes for miles!
-
The slow poke drivers - having to hit the brakes --> I love using cruise
-
Others in the car bother me the most. I prefer to make long road trips alone. I stop when I want and my car has perfect seats for long trips.
-
Backache. I take a pillow with me and sometimes even that doesn't help. :)
-
The odors coming from the Kids in the back seat. Snoring and Farting while you're trying to stay awake.
-
other drivers. My mom is :O at the road I take between my house and hers, because it's all two-lane highway, "scenic byway," but I rarely end up next to/behind another car for more than a few miles. And I get home faster because of it.
-
Cramped spaces.
-
Its back aches for me and potty breaks for my wife. She goes every 30 minutes like clockwork. I suggested that she wear a big sponge and she told me to kiss her ---. I lost that conversation.
-
Gas prices. +5
-
Finding a good place to eat, where you can sit and relax and it doesn't have arches.:):)
-
Stopping for the night when I need to just get to my destination. I prefer to have two or three who can drive through the night and sleep in the car. Drove from Seattle to Los Angeles once in less than 24 hours pulling a trailer. That calculates to an average speed of 50mph including all the gas and potty stops.
-
Not being able to stretch out, which leads to leg cramps and back aches.
-
Having to grab the "oh my gosh" handle, put my foot through the floor, and screech every time my hubby does, well, anything while he's driving!
-
Neck cramps
-
back ache.
-
My other half loves the air con on full whcak when he drives... Going on long journeys with him are horrible because I'll be shivering the whole time. So, that! =)
-
Getting cussed out every 15 minutes because his insane driving causes me to make that noise when I suck my breath in really fast and everyone in the car freaks out and says "what?" as he slams on the brakes and......repeat....the circle of my life.
-
The boredom and trying to not fall asleep during the flatlands.
-
My family :P +5
-
family matters, between bathroom/potty breaks and lots of other reasons, this is what bothers ME the most. However, my own health comes in a very CLOSE second.
-
I have a chronic pain condition and if I sit for longer than 15-20 minutes I am in pain and if I am driving with the constant movement of my feet they are what hurts the worst. I can't stand long road trips. I would rather fly. I moved here in August and it was 425 miles. I stopped about 50 times in 7 hours. I hate them.
-
Bathrooms that are dirty. We should pull a trailer with a porta potty on it. LOL
-
My husband yapping
-
