I was on a crowded muni during rush hour. There was a strange smell, like a mixture of old food and body odor. People were pushed together so tightly that I could barely move. And then, someone's bag spilled all over me. It was a mess of papers and personal items. What a nightmare!
My muni horror story involves a very aggressive passenger. He was yelling at another passenger for no reason. The yelling turned into shoving, and it seemed like it was going to turn into a full - blown fight. The driver didn't do much to stop it until it almost got really bad. I was so scared that I got off at the next stop even though it wasn't my destination.
Once on the muni, I saw a huge rat running across the floor. It was so disgusting and everyone was screaming. The driver just kept driving as if nothing happened.
A best muni story might be about a muni project that transformed a run - down bus stop into a beautiful community space. The local muni department worked with artists and community members. They painted murals, added benches and flower beds. It not only made the stop more pleasant for passengers but also became a place that brought the community together, enhancing the overall image of the muni services in the area.
Overcrowding is a very common one. You can be squeezed like a sardine and it's uncomfortable. Another is rude passengers. They might push, cut in line, or be verbally abusive.
There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.
I had a horrible time at the airport when I missed my flight. I got caught in a long security line that moved extremely slowly. By the time I got through, the gate had already closed. I had to pay a hefty fee to rebook my flight, and then I had to wait around for hours in the airport until the next available flight. It was a really frustrating and expensive ordeal.
Well, I once hired a graphic designer on Fiverr. They promised amazing work within 3 days. But when the time came, all I got was a half - done job with very low - quality graphics. It was a total waste of my time and money.
I had an exam where the room was freezing cold. My hands were shaking so much that I could barely write. And on top of that, the exam was really difficult. I kept blanking out on answers that I knew I should have remembered. It was a horrible experience.
Once I used a new face cream that was highly recommended. But after a few days, my face became extremely red and itchy. It turned out I was allergic to one of the ingredients.
One of my slumlord horror stories was when the landlord refused to fix a leaking roof for months. Rain would pour into my bedroom, ruining my furniture and clothes. Every time I called, he'd make excuses like he was waiting for parts or the repairman was busy. It was a nightmare living in those wet conditions.
Well, I once ordered from a restaurant through Grubhub. The app showed that my order was on its way, but then I got a call from the driver saying he couldn't find the place. I gave him clear directions multiple times, but he still couldn't make it. Eventually, he just cancelled the order without any proper apology, leaving me with no dinner and a wasted hour waiting.
One of my roommate horror stories was when my roommate would never clean up after themselves. Dirty dishes piled up in the sink for days, and the whole apartment smelled bad. It was so frustrating because I tried to talk to them about it, but they just didn't care.
