There was this really awful DWI story. A drunk driver, on a narrow mountain road, lost control of their vehicle and collided head - on with a motorcycle. The motorcyclist was thrown off the bike and landed in a ditch. The drunk driver was so intoxicated that they didn't even realize the severity of what they had done until the police arrived. The motorcyclist had multiple fractures and internal injuries. It was a horrible scene.
I heard about a DWI incident where the drunk driver crashed into a school bus early in the morning. Fortunately, there were no students on the bus at that time, but the driver of the bus was seriously hurt. The drunk driver's actions could have had a much more tragic outcome if the bus had been full of kids.
I once heard about a Subway where the freezer broke and they didn't notice for a while. So, all the frozen food items, like the ice cream and frozen drinks, melted and made a huge mess. There was water all over the floor and the smell was terrible. They still tried to serve sandwiches while this was going on, which is really shocking.
The most shocking one I know is about an elderly couple. They had lived in their house for over 50 years. Due to some confusion in the tax assessment system, their house was put up for tax sale. They didn't understand the legal notices properly as they were not very literate when it came to legal jargon. They lost their home and had to move into a tiny apartment. It was really sad to see them lose the place where they had raised their children and created so many memories.
I heard of a situation where at the Cranbury Auction, a family heirloom was put up for sale without the knowledge of the rightful heir. The heirloom was sold at a very low price to someone who didn't even realize its true significance. It was a horror story in the sense that the family's heritage was lost in such a careless way.
A long - time chewing tobacco user developed a pre - cancerous condition in his mouth. His doctor warned him to stop immediately, but he didn't listen. Eventually, the condition worsened into full - blown cancer. The treatment was extremely painful and expensive. He lost a significant amount of weight and his quality of life deteriorated drastically.
The way Theranos deceived investors is also extremely shocking. They managed to attract high - profile investors and billions of dollars in funding. Their slick marketing and false demonstrations made it seem like they had a revolutionary product. But in the end, it was all a facade. The investors thought they were getting in on the ground floor of a game - changing technology in the healthcare industry. When the truth came out, it was a huge blow not only to those who had invested their money but also to the reputation of the entire startup investment ecosystem.
One of the most shocking penny stock horror stories involved a company that seemed to have a legitimate business model on the surface. It had some big - name partnerships that were announced. Investors flocked to buy the stock. But later it was revealed that the partnerships were not as solid as they seemed. In fact, they were just for show to boost the stock price. The stock price nosedived, and investors lost their investments. This shows that even what seems like a reliable penny stock can turn into a nightmare.
In one case, a lung transplant patient seemed to be doing well initially. However, weeks later, the patient started coughing up strange substances. It turned out that there were some abnormal tissues in the transplanted lung that the doctors hadn't noticed before. This led to a series of complex medical procedures to try and correct the situation. It was a very difficult and scary time for the patient and their family.
One of the most shocking is when a tenant found out that the apartment they were leasing was actually being foreclosed on. They had paid months of rent in advance and then suddenly had to move out with no warning. Another shocker is when the landlord changed the locks on the tenant while they were out, claiming they hadn't paid rent when they actually had proof of payment.
A really shocking law school doxing story was about a law student who was part of a controversial student organization. Opposing groups doxed this student, including details about their religious beliefs and political affiliations. This was not only unethical but also violated the student's right to privacy. The law school had to step in and create new policies to prevent such incidents in the future. It was a big wake - up call for the entire law school community about the importance of respecting privacy.
A really shocking story involves a pain clinic that had a doctor who was under the influence of drugs while treating patients. This led to incorrect diagnoses and dangerous treatments. There was also a pain clinic that had no emergency protocols in place. When a patient had an adverse reaction to a treatment, there was no proper way to handle it. And some pain clinics have a culture of blaming the patient for their pain not getting better, instead of looking into the real problems with the treatment or diagnosis.
