Many customers have horror stories about the return policy being misinterpreted. For example, they thought they could return an item easily but were told that it didn't meet the return criteria. This can lead to a lot of frustration and disappointment as people usually expect Costco's return policy to be very customer - friendly.
The worst for me was when I was in line for a sample of a popular new coffee blend. There were so many people pushing and shoving in the line. By the time I got to the front, they had run out of samples. I wasted a good 15 minutes waiting in that chaotic line for nothing. It was really frustrating, especially since I had specifically made my way to that part of the store for the sample.
A frequently occurring horror story is related to dependencies. Let's say you build a project relying on a particular library. Then, that library gets updated and the new version has some breaking changes. Your code that was working fine before suddenly stops working. You have to either find a way to make your code compatible with the new version or roll back to the old version, which might have security risks. It's a real headache especially when you have a large and complex project.
A common one is when people don't warm up properly before lifting. For example, a girl rushed into doing heavy squats without warming up her muscles. She felt a sudden pull in her thigh muscle and got a bad strain. It's essential to warm up to get the blood flowing and prepare the muscles for the strain.
There was this time at Costco when a little kid got lost. Instead of crying, he just climbed into one of those huge boxes that were for sale. When his parents finally found him, he was sitting in the box like it was his new little home, and he said he was just waiting for someone to buy him and take him home. Everyone around had a good laugh.
The most common one is probably related to overheating. Many users have reported that their ATI graphics cards overheat easily. This can cause the system to slow down or even crash. It's really frustrating when you're in the middle of something important, like a work project or a long gaming session.
Sure. Technical glitches are very common. Like the Wi - Fi dropping out when you're trying to show an online demo. Another common one is losing your place in your presentation. You suddenly forget which slide comes next or what you were supposed to say at that point. And stage fright can also lead to horror stories. For instance, sweating profusely or your face turning bright red during the presentation, which can make you feel self - conscious and distract the audience.
Injury is a very common one. Many people have stories of getting injured during CrossFit workouts. Maybe they were doing box jumps and misjudged the height, spraining their ankles badly.
A common one is slow service. People go to a restaurant expecting to be served in a reasonable time, but at Applebees, some customers have reported waiting over an hour just for their food. Another is incorrect orders. You order one thing and get something completely different.
Sure. A very common one is the rapid and unexpected physical changes. For instance, a person might experience rapid weight gain, not in a healthy muscle - building way but with a lot of water retention and fat distribution changes. It can make a person look bloated and out of shape rather than fit.
Sure. One common story is about pickpocketing. Tourists are often targets as they are usually distracted by the beauty of the place. They might be busy taking pictures or just enjoying the view, and thieves take advantage of this. Another is related to food poisoning. Some local food stalls or restaurants might not have the best hygiene standards, and tourists end up getting sick, which is a real horror when you're on vacation.
