One horror story is about a roommate who never cleaned. The kitchen was always a mess with dirty dishes piled high and food left out to rot. It smelled awful and attracted bugs. Another was a roommate who would bring strangers over at all hours without warning. It made the place feel unsafe.
Dirty and messy roommates are common. They leave their stuff everywhere and don't clean up common areas. Another type is the noisy roommate who doesn't respect others' need for quiet.
One horror story is about a strange noise. A student in college apartment would hear scratching noises at night coming from the wall. It was so creepy that he couldn't sleep well. He thought it might be rats at first, but when he checked, there was no sign of any rodents. Eventually, he found out that the wind was blowing a loose piece of metal outside the building against the wall, which created the spooky sound.
My apartment had a mold problem. It started as a small patch in the corner of my bedroom, but it quickly spread. It smelled musty and was probably not healthy to be around. The landlord didn't seem to care much and just told me to keep the room ventilated. But it was really a horror to live with that constantly growing mold.
In a rather strange story, a wife shared her cooking recipes on a social platform. An unknown person took those recipes and started a business using her name without permission. The couple faced a lot of trouble when they received complaints from customers who thought they were the ones running the unethical business. It was a horror story of identity theft in the guise of recipe sharing.
In a business presentation via screen sharing, the presenter's antivirus software suddenly popped up a warning about a potential virus. It not only disrupted the flow of the presentation but also made the clients worried about the security of the company's systems. The presenter had to quickly explain that it was a false alarm but it still left a negative impression.
Sure. One horror story was that the walls were so thin. I could hear every single argument my neighbors had, and they were really loud and often had fights late at night. It made it really hard to sleep.
Sure. Once, my neighbor thought his apartment was haunted because his TV would turn on by itself. But it turned out his cat had learned to step on the remote. It was so funny when he finally realized it.
Sharing such stories is inappropriate as they are private and often involve adult and unethical content.
In my NYC apartment, the neighbors were the horror. They would have loud parties every night. The music was blaring until the early hours of the morning. I complained to the building management several times, but it took them forever to do anything about it. I lost so much sleep during that time.
Sure. There was a case where a single mother in an apartment was struggling to pay her rent. Her neighbors secretly collected some money to help her out. It was a beautiful display of care within the apartment community.
