Well, a common horror story is when a doordash driver arrives at a restaurant and the order isn't ready. They have to wait for a long time, like 30 minutes or more. This messes up their whole schedule for other deliveries. Also, there are cases where a customer gives the wrong address. The driver goes all the way there only to find out it's the wrong place, and then has to figure out the correct one while the food is getting cold. Some drivers have even had food stolen right out of their hands when they were about to deliver it.

Well, I heard about a person who had Cool Sculpting. After the procedure, they noticed some strange lumps under their skin. These lumps were not only unsightly but also a bit painful when touched.

Also, there was a case where a woman thought she would look great after Cool Sculpting, but she ended up with a sunken - in look in the treated area which made her look older instead of more youthful and toned.

In Southeast Asia, there are some really scary travel experiences. A common one is the bad weather horror. In Myanmar, for example, during the monsoon season, some travelers got caught in sudden and intense floods.
