Plagiarism accusations are also quite common. Sometimes, students might accidentally use improper citations and be wrongly accused. And then there are those horror stories about being cut off from research resources. For instance, a library suddenly losing access to important journals right when a student needs them for a paper.
A very common academic horror story involves group projects. You know, when one or more group members don't pull their weight. So, one person ends up doing most of the work while the others get the same credit. This can be really frustrating and unfair, especially when the hard - working member's grade depends on the overall group performance.
Unprofessional interviewers can create horror stories too. Some might be checking their phones during the interview or seem uninterested. One person told me that the interviewer was yawning constantly, which made them feel like they were boring the interviewer. This lack of professionalism from the interviewer's side can really put off the candidate and make the interview a horrible experience.
The most common ones are probably accommodation issues. Like the place not being as described. It could be much smaller, dirtier or in a worse location. Another common type is related to transportation. For example, a rental car that has mechanical problems or an unannounced upgrade to a less desirable vehicle. Also, there can be problems with customer service. When things go wrong, getting help from Hotwire can be difficult, with long wait times on the phone or unhelpful representatives.
One of the most common jury horror stories involves jurors who don't understand the legal process. They might get confused about the burden of proof or what certain legal terms mean. This can lead to improper deliberations. Another common type is when jurors have conflicts among themselves. They may be so argumentative that they can't come to a reasonable decision. And then there are those jurors who are influenced by outside factors such as media coverage or public opinion, rather than just the evidence in the courtroom.
Data breaches are very common. Companies hold a lot of our personal data, and when there is a breach, things like credit card details, addresses, and phone numbers can be exposed. Another common one is identity theft. People steal others' identities to open accounts or make purchases. Hacking of personal accounts, like email or social media, is also common where private information is misused.
Well, there are often stories about social exclusion as a form of bullying. The bullies will make sure the victim is left out of all social activities. And then there's the type where bullies target someone because of their differences, be it race, religion or just being a bit different in personality. They'll make the victim feel like an outcast in every possible way. It's really sad how often these things happen.
Well, roommate problems are quite common. For example, some roommates might be really noisy, always having parties or talking loudly late at night. Another common type is about uncleanliness. As I mentioned before, a dirty roommate can make the whole living space unpleasant. And then there are security issues like break - ins or stolen items.
One common type is the extreme clutter hoarding. People fill their homes with so much stuff that there's no room to move. Another is animal hoarding, like the cat hoarding case I mentioned before. Also, there are those who hoard food, and when it goes bad, it creates a very unhygienic situation.
One common type is the fake product or service. For example, sites that sell electronics but send out broken or counterfeit items. Another is the overcharging. Some sites charge way more than what was initially advertised. And then there are sites that steal personal information like credit card details, which is really scary.
The most common one is probably the messy roommate. They leave their stuff all over the place, making the living area chaotic. Another is the inconsiderate roommate who doesn't respect your privacy or quiet time.
Scams are very common. For example, like the ones where people pretend to be from a bank and ask for your account details through contact. Another common one is identity theft through contacts who seem friendly but are actually stealing your information.
