We all know how frustrating the daily commute can be.
Whether it's leaves on the line, a signal failure, engineering works, it seems more often than not there's something getting in our way as we just try to get in on time.
And it seems these problems don't just plague us commoners when it comes to the commute.

His golden escalator stopped working when he was barely a third of the way down, as he tried to leave his private golden jet.
What a nightmare.
But the king managed to keep calm and after waiting what probably felt like an age, Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud descended by foot, on what were now just some fancy steps.
According to Nine News Australia , the king was landing in Moscow to discuss a $3.5billion arms deal with the Kremlin.
And it's not often he travels without a little luxury. Business Insider reports that when he went to Indonesia, he travelled with 800 delegates and 620 members of staff.

In 2015, he closed a French Riviera beach for three days and had a lift put in so he could go straight to the sand.
And in Japan, he drove around in style, in 500 limousines for himself and his entourage.
