A friend of mine hired a contractor to build a deck. The contractor used sub - standard materials that started to rot within a year. When my friend confronted him, the contractor disappeared and didn't answer any calls or emails. My friend had to hire another contractor to fix the mess and it cost him double the original amount.
One horror story is when a general contractor took a large deposit and then disappeared without doing any work. The homeowner was left with a big financial loss and had to start the search for a new contractor all over again.
Well, I heard a story where the matchmaker promised a lot but delivered very little. They said they had this perfect match for a person, but when they finally met, it turned out that the matchmaker had lied about some basic things like the person's educational background. This led to a very awkward and quickly ended relationship.
One horror story is when the Postmates driver got completely lost and took over an hour extra to deliver a simple meal. By the time it arrived, the food was cold and inedible. Another time, a customer's package was delivered to the wrong address, and it took days to sort out the mess. And there was also a case where the driver was rude to the customer when they asked about the delay.
One recruiter horror story is when a recruiter promised a high - paying job with great benefits. But when the candidate showed up for the interview, it was for a completely different, much lower - level position. The recruiter had misrepresented the job just to get the candidate in the door.
One horror story I have is when a contractor promised to finish a kitchen renovation in two weeks. After two weeks, only half of the cabinets were installed. They kept giving excuses like supply issues but it turned out they took on too many projects at once. We had to live without a functioning kitchen for months in the end.
In a contractor job horror story I know, a contractor was hired to paint a house. They did a very sloppy job. There were paint drips everywhere, and they didn't properly prep the surfaces so the paint started to peel off quickly. The contractor also overcharged for the job. They said it was due to unexpected expenses, but it was clear they were just trying to make more money. The homeowner had to hire another contractor to redo the whole painting job.
One horror story could be dealing with extremely rude customers. Some customers might make inappropriate comments or touch the workers without permission. For example, a Hooters worker once shared that a customer kept making lewd remarks about her uniform. It made her feel uncomfortable and violated at work.
One horror story is about infections. Some people got severe infections after lip piercing. The area around the piercing became red, swollen and oozed pus. It was extremely painful and took a long time to heal even with antibiotics.
My sister got a stomach bug right before an important job interview. She was so pale and sweaty. She tried to hold it together during the interview but had to run out in the middle to vomit. She lost the job opportunity because of it. She was in so much pain and discomfort during that time. It took her days to fully recover and get over the disappointment.
One horror story could be when a PlayStation was sent for repair due to a disc drive issue. After weeks of waiting, it came back with a completely different problem - the console wouldn't turn on at all. It seemed like they didn't even test it properly before sending it back.
