A woman with dreadlocks decided to try a new DIY method for tightening her dreads. She saw a video online and thought it would be easy. But she ended up over - tightening them so much that it caused a lot of pain in her scalp. Her scalp became red and irritated, and she had to visit a hair specialist to fix the damage. It was a costly and painful mistake just because she didn't follow proper dreadlock maintenance advice.
Well, there's a story about a guy who used the wrong products to maintain his dreads. He thought a regular hair wax would work fine. But instead, it made his dreads really hard and brittle.

This taught him the importance of using the right products for dreadlocks.

Sure. One horror story is about a building's elevator maintenance. The company cut corners on parts to save money. As a result, the elevator got stuck frequently, leaving people trapped inside for hours. It was terrifying for those stuck and also a big liability for the building management.

There was this one time when a landscaper was trimming bushes. He accidentally cut through an underground cable.

Well, my BMW had a problem with the brakes. I went to a local mechanic who claimed to be experienced with BMWs. He replaced some parts but then a new issue emerged.

It was really frustrating.
A custodial parent once told me that the child maintenance payments were always late. And when she tried to contact the other parent about it, she was met with abuse and threats.

In my old apartment, the heating system was always breaking down during the winter. The maintenance guy would come, tinker around for a bit, and leave. But the problem would just come back.

Well, I've come across stories where people's hair became brittle after using Olaplex. It was as if the product had a negative effect on the hair's elasticity.

Sure. There are landlords who don't maintain the exterior of the building at all. For instance, the roof might be leaking, and instead of getting it fixed, they just let water seep into the apartments, causing damage to the tenant's belongings and making the living conditions really bad. It's like they don't care about the long - term state of the property as long as they are getting the rent.
