My orthodontist horror story involves a really long wait time every appointment. I would book my appointment weeks in advance, but still end up waiting for over an hour in the waiting room every time. And when it was finally my turn, the orthodontist seemed rushed and didn't do as thorough a job as I expected. It was a waste of my time and money in the end.
Sure. One time, a patient came in with a retainer that he had accidentally used as a bottle opener. He was so embarrassed when he told the orthodontist, but the orthodontist just laughed it off and told him it was a very creative use, though not recommended. Then he fixed the bent retainer for him.
A common horror story is the wrong diagnosis. For example, my friend was told she needed extensive braces work when in fact, her teeth just needed minor alignment which could have been done with a simple retainer. This led to her spending a lot of money and time on something she didn't really need.
There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.
I had a horrible time at the airport when I missed my flight. I got caught in a long security line that moved extremely slowly. By the time I got through, the gate had already closed. I had to pay a hefty fee to rebook my flight, and then I had to wait around for hours in the airport until the next available flight. It was a really frustrating and expensive ordeal.
Well, I once hired a graphic designer on Fiverr. They promised amazing work within 3 days. But when the time came, all I got was a half - done job with very low - quality graphics. It was a total waste of my time and money.
I had an exam where the room was freezing cold. My hands were shaking so much that I could barely write. And on top of that, the exam was really difficult. I kept blanking out on answers that I knew I should have remembered. It was a horrible experience.
Once I used a new face cream that was highly recommended. But after a few days, my face became extremely red and itchy. It turned out I was allergic to one of the ingredients.
Once on the muni, I saw a huge rat running across the floor. It was so disgusting and everyone was screaming. The driver just kept driving as if nothing happened.
One of my slumlord horror stories was when the landlord refused to fix a leaking roof for months. Rain would pour into my bedroom, ruining my furniture and clothes. Every time I called, he'd make excuses like he was waiting for parts or the repairman was busy. It was a nightmare living in those wet conditions.
Well, I once ordered from a restaurant through Grubhub. The app showed that my order was on its way, but then I got a call from the driver saying he couldn't find the place. I gave him clear directions multiple times, but he still couldn't make it. Eventually, he just cancelled the order without any proper apology, leaving me with no dinner and a wasted hour waiting.
