There was an individual who applied for immigration based on family reunification. His papers were in order, but the immigration office lost his file. He had to start the whole process again, which cost him a lot of time and money. He had to keep postponing his plans, couldn't start his new job as expected, and was constantly worried about whether he would ever be able to be with his family in the new country.
A family immigrated to a new country seeking asylum. They had escaped a war - torn area. But upon arrival, they were put in a detention center that was overcrowded and had unsanitary conditions. The food was scarce and of poor quality. They were treated more like criminals than people in need of protection. It took months for their case to be reviewed, during which time they suffered a great deal both physically and mentally.
Sure. There was an immigrant who had a valid work visa and was working legally in a new country. However, due to an administrative error at the immigration department, his visa was wrongly revoked. He was then detained at his workplace and faced deportation. All his hard work to build a life there, his apartment, his friendships, were at risk of being lost just because of a mistake not his own.
Sure. There was a couple who had sold all their belongings in their home country to move to New Zealand. They applied for the appropriate visas well in advance. However, at the last minute, their visas were put on hold for 'further investigation'. This left them homeless in their home country as they had already given up their place, and they had no idea when or if they could actually move to New Zealand. It was a nightmare for them as they had to start from scratch, find a new place to live, and try to figure out what went wrong with their visa applications.
Sure. A person I know applied for a work visa. They submitted all the correct paperwork but were asked for additional documents that were not initially listed as requirements. This back - and - forth of document requests caused a significant delay in the visa processing. By the time the visa was finally approved, the job offer had expired.
A tourist once had their passport confiscated because of a miscommunication. The immigration officer thought there was an issue with their visa extension application, but in reality, it was a clerical error on their part. The tourist had to spend days trying to sort it out, staying in a hotel near the airport and incurring unexpected expenses.
Sure. There was a case where a family had to wait for over a year just to get a simple document verified. They kept being sent from one office to another, and each time they were given different reasons for the delay. It was a nightmare for them as they had to put their lives on hold during that time.
Sure. There was a person who took Ambien and woke up to find that they had written strange and disturbing messages all over their walls. They had no memory of doing it at all. It was really creepy as it was like some unknown force had taken over them while they were under the influence of the drug.
Sure. There was a Pegasister who attended a Pegasus - themed convention. She was really excited to meet other fans and see all the cool stuff. But she accidentally bumped into a very rude group of so - called 'hardcore' Pegasisters. They started yelling at her and making her feel like she didn't belong there just because she was new to the fandom and didn't know all the 'inside' rules. It was a horrible experience for her.
A man was an alcoholic and got into a bar fight one night while heavily drunk. He seriously injured another person. As a result, he was arrested and sent to jail. In jail, he went through withdrawal symptoms without proper medical help, which was extremely painful. His life took a turn for the worse, and when he got out, he had a criminal record that made it difficult for him to find a job and reintegrate into society.
Sure. There was a situation where a community was trying to get a local park renovated. The government department in charge kept delaying the project for years. Every time the community representatives asked for an update, they were given vague excuses. Eventually, the park remained in a state of disrepair, and the funds that were supposed to be used for the renovation seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
One specific 'bronies horror story' could be about a brony who was overly obsessed with a particular My Little Pony character. He started to believe that the character was real and would send disturbing letters to the show's creators, asking them to make the character come to life in a very inappropriate and obsessive way.
A friend of mine had a Postmate horror story. He ordered some expensive electronics. When the package arrived, it was clear that the Postmate had opened it. Some parts were missing. My friend was furious. He had to go through a long process with Postmate's customer service to try to get compensation for the missing items. It was a real hassle and he lost trust in the service.
