A disturbing story is about a boarding school with a very strict hierarchy among students. The older students would force the younger ones to do their chores, and if they refused, they would be locked in small, dark closets for hours. This kind of abuse created a very oppressive and terrifying environment for the younger students.

Sure. There was a time when a group of students in a boarding school decided to have a 'dorm Olympics'. They created all kinds of strange events like pillow javelin (throwing pillows as far as they could), and blanket tug - of - war. It got really noisy and messy, but they had a great time. Eventually, the dorm supervisor found out and had to put a stop to it, but not before everyone had some good laughs.
There was a clique in a high school. They targeted a girl who was a bit different. They would steal her things, scribble mean words on her locker, and laugh at her in the hallways. It got so bad that she started having panic attacks every time she had to go to school.
Sure. A pharmacist once had a patient who was allergic to a certain ingredient in a medication. But the patient didn't know it, and neither did the doctor who prescribed it. The pharmacist, in a rush, didn't double - check the patient's allergy history. When the patient took the drug, they had a severe allergic reaction. Their face swelled up and they had trouble breathing. The pharmacist felt extremely guilty for not being more careful.
Sure. There was a case where a tweaker was so out of it that they dug holes all over their yard at night, thinking they were hiding drugs from imaginary enemies.

Sure. There was a case where a teen met someone on Myspace who claimed to be a famous music producer. He convinced the teen to meet him in person. When they met, the 'producer' turned out to be a dangerous predator. Fortunately, the teen managed to escape, but it was a terrifying experience.

A construction crew was using a mesh - like material for reinforcing a concrete structure. But the mesh they used was of poor quality. As the concrete was being poured, the mesh started to warp and bend in strange ways. When the concrete dried, the structure was weak and full of cracks.

There was this one time at a baptism in a rural area. The baptismal pool was an old - fashioned stone structure outdoors. Unbeknownst to anyone, there was a large snake that had made its nest near the pool. As the person was about to be baptized and stepped into the water, the snake slithered out. People screamed and ran in all directions. It was a terrifying situation, and it took a long time to calm everyone down and ensure the snake was gone before they could attempt the baptism again.
