There are cases where the equipment at the birth center malfunctioned. For example, the fetal heart rate monitor stopped working during labor. This caused a great deal of panic as the medical staff couldn't accurately monitor the baby's condition. The mother was extremely worried that something might be wrong with her baby and she didn't feel safe in the birth center anymore.

There are also stories of the company being overly aggressive with collections. They might call at all hours or be really pushy, even if the customer is just a few days behind on payment. Also, some people have rented furniture that was dirty or damaged when it arrived, but they were still charged the full price.

One horror story could be about getting a defective guitar. I bought a supposedly new guitar from Guitar Center. When I got home and started playing, the tuning pegs were loose and the fret buzz was so bad it was unplayable. I took it back, and they tried to say it was my fault for not checking properly in the store. It was a nightmare dealing with their unhelpful staff.
