A frequent horror story is related to handling and storage. The hotline could give incorrect advice on how long the turkey can be stored in the fridge after purchase or how to handle it during transportation. This can lead to food safety issues and a ruined meal. For instance, if they say it can be stored longer than it actually can, it might start to go bad before it's cooked.
Another is the misinformation about the right type of seasoning. The hotline might recommend something that doesn't go well with the turkey, spoiling the taste. For example, suggesting too much of a strong - flavored spice that overpowers the natural flavor of the Butterball turkey.
One common type is the wrong cooking time advice. People rely on the hotline for accurate timings but sometimes get it wrong and end up with a poorly cooked turkey.
Well, one horror story could be a customer calling the Butterball Hotline and getting incorrect cooking instructions that led to a completely ruined Thanksgiving turkey. It was overcooked on the outside and raw inside.
One memorable story is of a caller who asked if they could cook the turkey in a washing machine. The operator was shocked and had to explain in detail about the danger and unhygienic nature of such an attempt. Another was a person who thought the turkey's giblets were some sort of alien organs and called in a panic. The operator had to calm them down and explain what giblets were.
Once, a caller on the Butterball Turkey Hotline asked if they could stuff the turkey with a whole pumpkin instead of the traditional stuffing. It was so absurd and funny. The hotline operator patiently explained that it was not a good idea as it would not cook evenly and could cause a mess in the oven.
One funny story could be about a caller who thought the turkey was supposed to be cooked in its plastic wrapping. They called the Butterball Turkey Hotline in a panic when they saw the plastic melting in the oven. Another might be a person who mistook the giblets for some sort of alien organ and called freaking out. And there could be a story of a family who tried to fit a 30 - pound turkey in a tiny oven and called for advice on how to make it work.
One of the most hilarious is when someone put the turkey in the dishwasher to clean it before cooking. They called the hotline in shock when they realized their mistake. Another situation was a person who used bubble bath soap instead of butter to baste the turkey and wondered why it smelled so strange. Also, there was a family who tried to cook the turkey in a microwave that was way too small for it and then called for solutions.
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.
