The most common one is probably getting burned. Hot oil splatters or touching a hot pan can cause painful burns. Another is having a huge order rush and not being able to keep up. It's like a nightmare when the tickets keep coming and you can't seem to get the food out fast enough.
One of the common horror stories is dealing with difficult customers. For example, a customer who sends back their food multiple times for no good reason. It's frustrating for the line cook who has to keep remaking the dish. Also, equipment breaking down in the middle of a busy shift. Imagine the grill stops working when there are ten steaks to be cooked. That can be a real horror for a line cook.
Overcrowding is a very common theme. As I said before, too many inmates in a small space cause all kinds of problems. Another is the lack of proper rehabilitation programs. Inmates are just locked up without much effort to help them reform, which can make their situation seem hopeless.
The most common one might be bad customer service. Passengers have complained that the staff was unresponsive to their requests. For instance, if they asked for extra pillows or had a problem with the air conditioning in their room, it took ages for someone to come and help.
One major horror story is about the booking system going wrong. Some people thought they had booked a certain type of cabin or special package, but when they got on the ship, it was all different. They had paid extra for things they didn't receive. It was a big disappointment for them. And then there are issues with the Wi - Fi. It's often very slow and unreliable, which can be a problem for those who need to stay connected for work or to keep in touch with family back home. The cruise line should really work on improving these aspects.
There was a line cook who was constantly bullied by the head chef. The head chef would yell at him for the smallest mistakes and make him work extra hours without pay. One day, the line cook was so stressed that he made a big mistake with a special order. The customer was furious and the line cook almost lost his job. It was a horrible experience for him, not just because of the mistake but also because of the hostile work environment.
One that stands out is 'I heard a child laughing in the empty school at night.' Empty schools at night are already spooky places, and the sound of a child's laughter when there should be no children there adds to the horror. It makes you think about the possible reasons for the laughter. Is it a ghost of a child who met an untimely end? Or is it something even more sinister?
Disputes over access to shared driveways along the property line can also be horror stories. One neighbor may block the driveway or claim exclusive use. There was a situation where two neighbors had a shared driveway. One of them parked their large RV on it for months, preventing the other from using it properly. This led to arguments, calls to the police, and ultimately a court case to determine the rights of access.
One horror story could be about customers being left stranded when Thomas Cook suddenly collapsed. People were on vacation and found themselves without proper arrangements for getting home, facing chaos at airports and having to figure out costly last - minute travel options.
Well, perhaps while cooking lasagna, the oven malfunctions. If there's a baby in the kitchen area, it could be a horror story. For example, the oven catches fire suddenly. The baby could be in danger from the smoke or the flames. Also, what if the parent is distracted while cooking the lasagna and the baby manages to pull a hot pan of lasagna off the counter onto themselves, resulting in serious burns.
One meth cook horror story is about a house that was used for cooking meth. The chemicals seeped into the walls and floors, making the place uninhabitable. Neighbors got sick from the fumes. Another story is of a cook who had an explosion during the process, causing severe burns to himself and starting a fire that destroyed his entire makeshift lab.
One of the most prevalent ebay horror stories is when the item gets lost in transit. The tracking shows it's been shipped but then it disappears. Buyers are left in a lurch as they've paid for the item but don't have it. Sellers may blame the shipping company and the shipping company may say it was the seller's fault in packaging. Ebay then has to step in to mediate, which can be a long and drawn - out process.
