Sure. There was once a beholder named Zorg. Zorg was overconfident and decided to attack a small village that he thought was unprotected. But little did he know that the village had a hidden group of powerful mages. As soon as Zorg showed up, the mages cast a spell that blinded him temporarily. He was then surrounded by the villagers who started pelting him with enchanted rocks that disrupted his magic. Zorg had a really bad time trying to escape and ended up losing one of his eye stalks in the process.
Well, if we consider 'beholder bad time stories' in a more general sense. It might involve stories where beholders face unexpected challenges. Perhaps a beholder that is used to being in control suddenly finds itself in an environment where it can't use its powerful eye rays effectively due to some magical interference. This would lead to a series of 'bad time' situations for the beholder, like being attacked by smaller creatures it would usually easily defeat.
Sure. Once I had a bad time when I was traveling. I missed my flight due to a traffic jam on the way to the airport. I had to wait for hours in the airport to get on the next available flight. It was really frustrating as I had planned my whole trip meticulously.
Sure. There was a girl who was put in the corner during art class for accidentally spilling paint on another student's work. While in the corner, she noticed the patterns on the wall and got inspired to create a new art piece in her mind. When she was allowed to return to her seat, she quickly sketched it out and it turned out to be one of her best works.
I heard about a travel baseball game where the umpire was clearly biased towards one of the teams. He would overlook obvious rule violations by that team while being very strict with the other team. It was so unfair that the team on the receiving end of this bad umpiring felt completely cheated. They lost the game, but more importantly, they lost their trust in the fairness of the competition.
There was an incident where a customer's locker was broken into at an Orangetheory studio. When they reported it to the staff, the staff seemed unconcerned and took a long time to even start looking into the matter. They didn't offer any immediate assistance or compensation to the customer for their lost items, which made the customer extremely disappointed with the overall customer service at the studio.

Sure. There is a story about a woman who lost her husband in the 911 attacks. She visited the site years later and said she saw a figure that looked exactly like her husband standing where the towers once were. He seemed to be looking at her with a sad expression.

Sure. One story is about a student who always procrastinated on studying for exams. He would waste hours on social media instead of preparing. Then, right before the exam, he would cram all night, feeling exhausted and not being able to retain much information. As a result, his grades were not good.
Sure. One bad first time story could be a person's first job interview. They might have been really nervous, showed up late because they got lost, and then completely blanked on all the answers they had prepared. It was a total disaster and they didn't get the job.
Sure. One of my bad first time stories was when I tried skiing for the first time. I was so excited at the start, but as soon as I got on the slope, I lost my balance and tumbled all the way down. It was embarrassing and I ended up with a few bruises too.
