There was a story about a commuter who took a crowded, rickety bus every day. The motion of the bus, along with the stuffy air, made him constantly motion - sick. He often had to run off the bus to vomit on the side of the road. It affected his work and daily life terribly as he was always dreading the bus rides.
One that stands out is a person who got motion sickness on a roller coaster. They thought it would be fun but ended up feeling extremely nauseous. The twists and turns made them dizzy and they almost passed out during the ride.
I heard about someone on a safari tour in a jeep. The bumpy roads in the wild made them severely motion sick. They couldn't enjoy the amazing wildlife around them because they were too focused on not throwing up. They had to cut the tour short as they just couldn't bear it any longer. It was a disappointment as they had been looking forward to that safari for a long time.
A friend of mine got a call from a telemarketer who started yelling at her when she said she didn't want the product. It was completely unacceptable behavior.
I heard about a person who had gerd so bad that it damaged their esophagus over time. They had to go through a lot of medical treatments and had to be really careful with their diet all the time. It was a horror story in terms of the long - term effects on their health.
I once went on a long bus journey through the mountains. I get motion sickness easily. The winding roads made me so nauseous. I tried to focus on the scenery but it just made it worse. I ended up vomiting several times during the trip. It was truly a horror experience.
A friend of mine who worked at a hotel had a customer who checked in late and then complained about everything. The room was too cold, the sheets were too rough, the view was bad. When my friend tried to help, the customer was so mean and told him he was incompetent. Eventually, the customer demanded a full refund and left in a huff.
One of the horror stories I've heard is that a girl took Plan B and then had a very heavy and long - lasting period. It was much worse than her normal periods. She bled through her clothes a couple of times because she didn't expect it to be that bad. It made her feel really embarrassed and also physically weak. She had to take extra iron supplements to make up for the blood loss.
A friend of mine had a date who took her to a really seedy part of town. The place was dirty and there were some really sketchy - looking people around. She was so scared and just wanted to leave right away. It was a really bad choice of location for a date.
I heard about a flight that got delayed multiple times. First, it was because of a mechanical problem. Then, they had trouble finding a replacement part. The passengers were kept in the airport for over two days. They had to sleep on the hard benches, and the airline only provided minimal food. It was a disaster. There were families with small children, and it was really difficult for them. People missed important events like weddings and funerals because of this delay.
One preorder horror story I've heard was about a highly anticipated video game. People preordered months in advance. But when the game finally arrived, it was full of bugs. The graphics were glitchy and the gameplay was unplayable in many parts. It was a huge disappointment for the fans who had been waiting so long.
One of the worst stories I know is when a recruiter lied about the location of the job. They told the candidate it was a local position, but in reality, it required a lot of traveling or even potential relocation. The candidate had made it clear that they couldn't relocate, and this misinformation led to a lot of disappointment and wasted effort on both sides.
Someone told me about their eBay return horror story. They bought an expensive item that turned out to be faulty. When they returned it, the seller kept delaying the refund. They said they were waiting for the item to be inspected, but it seemed like they were just trying to hold onto the buyer's money. The buyer had to keep pushing eBay to step in, and it took months before they finally got their money back.
