One of the most common horror stories involves medication errors. School nurses might give the wrong medicine or the wrong amount. It can be really dangerous for the students. Another common type is the lack of proper hygiene in the nurse's office. If the equipment or the area is not clean, it can lead to infections among the students who visit. And then there are cases where the nurse is just not empathetic towards the students' pain and discomfort, which can be a very negative experience for a sick child.
Misdiagnosis is quite common. For example, thinking a broken bone is just a sprain. Another is improper handling of medical emergencies, like not knowing how to use an EpiPen during an anaphylactic shock. Also, poor communication with students and parents can be a horror story in itself, like not informing parents promptly about their child's condition at school.
There are also stories about the stress of the curriculum. Students having to study long hours and still not feeling fully prepared for exams, like having to cram a huge amount of medical knowledge in a short time and then being tested rigorously.
Financial mismanagement can also lead to horror stories. The school might suddenly increase the tuition fee without proper explanation. And then cut down on important services like extracurricular activities or proper teaching resources. This leaves students and their parents feeling cheated and frustrated.
One common type is the wrong product usage. Like using a strong chemical peel without proper training and ending up burning a client's skin.
Equipment failure is quite common. Like the oxygen supply malfunctioning or the defibrillator not working properly when it's urgently needed.
One common type is the bank - related phishing. Hackers send emails or messages that seem to be from banks, asking for login details. Another is the fake invoice phishing, like I mentioned before for the small business. Also, there are those that target individuals through social media with offers that are too good to be true.
There are also horror stories related to malicious links in chats. People click on links sent by others thinking it's something harmless, like a game or a funny video. But in reality, the link contains malware that can steal data, corrupt devices, or even give the attacker access to the user's webcam and microphone without their knowledge. It's really a nightmare for those who experience it.
Procrastinating on important life events is also common. For instance, people who want to buy a house but keep delaying saving for a down payment. They keep finding excuses not to start the process. Or those who procrastinate on planning their weddings and end up with a rushed and less - than - perfect event because they didn't start early enough. In relationships, some people procrastinate on having important conversations with their partners, which can lead to misunderstandings and problems building up over time.
The most common ones are probably accommodation issues. Like the place not being as described. It could be much smaller, dirtier or in a worse location. Another common type is related to transportation. For example, a rental car that has mechanical problems or an unannounced upgrade to a less desirable vehicle. Also, there can be problems with customer service. When things go wrong, getting help from Hotwire can be difficult, with long wait times on the phone or unhelpful representatives.
One of the most common jury horror stories involves jurors who don't understand the legal process. They might get confused about the burden of proof or what certain legal terms mean. This can lead to improper deliberations. Another common type is when jurors have conflicts among themselves. They may be so argumentative that they can't come to a reasonable decision. And then there are those jurors who are influenced by outside factors such as media coverage or public opinion, rather than just the evidence in the courtroom.
Data breaches are very common. Companies hold a lot of our personal data, and when there is a breach, things like credit card details, addresses, and phone numbers can be exposed. Another common one is identity theft. People steal others' identities to open accounts or make purchases. Hacking of personal accounts, like email or social media, is also common where private information is misused.
