Some 'be the match' horror stories involve financial issues. Even when a match is found, the cost of the transplant and the associated procedures can be astronomical. Families may not be able to afford it, and insurance may not cover everything. So, the patient is left with a match but no way to actually go through with the life - saving transplant, which is truly a tragic situation.
In match horror stories, a frequent element is hidden motives. In a friendship match, someone might befriend another just to get close to their wealthy friends or gain access to some resources. Another element is lack of research. In a business match - making situation, if a company doesn't research the market reputation of the other company well enough, they might end up in a bad deal. And then there's the emotional abuse factor. In a relationship match, one partner might emotionally abuse the other, which is a real horror in a so - called'match'.
Late arrival of the team bus is quite common. I've seen it happen a few times. The team is all stressed out and not fully warmed up when they finally reach the stadium. Another common one is when key players get injured during the warm - up. It throws off the whole team's strategy.
A lot of times, the date location can be a horror story in itself. I've heard of cases where one person picks a really noisy or dirty place. Also, some match daters find that their date is overly clingy right from the start. It's really uncomfortable when someone you just met acts like you're in a long - term relationship already. Moreover, there are those who are just extremely boring and can't carry a conversation at all.
One common problem is miscommunication. For example, the orthodontist might not clearly explain the treatment process to the patient. Another is inexperienced orthodontists. They may make mistakes during the treatment, like improper wire adjustments.
One memorable horror story was when a team's bus broke down on the way to the stadium on match day 2019. They arrived late, flustered, and not properly warmed up. As a result, they couldn't perform at their best and lost the match miserably.
A memorable horror story could be a team that had a big lead in Match Day 2019 but then had some sort of internal conflict. Two of their key players got into a huge argument on the pitch. This led to a breakdown in communication and teamwork. Their opponents, sensing the weakness, made a comeback and won the match. It was a shock for the team that had been so far ahead.
One common element is miscommunication. Sometimes students think they are a great fit for a program and the program gives the wrong signals too. Then on Match Day, it's a big disappointment. For example, a program may say they really like a student but then don't rank them highly.
One horror story is when a candidate thought they had a great interview at a top program. They were promised a high rank by the program director during the interview. But come match day, they didn't match there at all. It turned out the director had made similar promises to many others.
One of the most prevalent ebay horror stories is when the item gets lost in transit. The tracking shows it's been shipped but then it disappears. Buyers are left in a lurch as they've paid for the item but don't have it. Sellers may blame the shipping company and the shipping company may say it was the seller's fault in packaging. Ebay then has to step in to mediate, which can be a long and drawn - out process.
One common 'Popeyes Horror Story' is the wrong order. You order a specific meal with certain sides and end up with something completely different. It's frustrating, especially if you have dietary restrictions or just had your heart set on that particular order.
