One really bad horror story is that a customer rented a car from Enterprise to drive across the country. The car started making really strange noises shortly after they left the rental location. They thought it might be a minor issue at first, so they continued driving. But then, the car just stopped working in the middle of nowhere. There was no cell phone signal, and they were left stranded. It took them hours to find a way to contact Enterprise. By the time Enterprise sent help, the customer had already missed several important events on their itinerary. And when they finally got a new car, they had to deal with a lot of hassle regarding the transfer of their belongings from the broken - down car to the new one.
A customer once rented a car from Enterprise. When they picked it up, it seemed fine at first. But during the drive, they noticed that the steering wheel was shaking violently. It was so bad that they were afraid to continue driving. They pulled over and called Enterprise. It took them ages to send a tow truck and get the customer a replacement car. This really messed up the customer's plans for the day.
Well, I heard about a woman who sold her car to a friend of a friend. She thought it was a safe bet. But after a few weeks, the new owner started calling her constantly, complaining about every little thing that went wrong with the car. Even though the car had no problems when she sold it, she was made to feel responsible and it was really stressing her out.
I heard of a 'car lot horror story' where a guy traded in his old car for a new one at a dealership. They gave him a very low trade - in value which he thought was just how it was. Later, he found out they sold his old car for a much higher price. They took advantage of his lack of knowledge about the true value of his trade - in. It was really unfair to him.
One horror story could be getting a car that breaks down in the middle of a long trip. You're stranded on a lonely road, waiting for hours for help. Another might be finding out the car has some really bad smell that won't go away, like someone smoked in it heavily or there was a spill that wasn't cleaned properly. And there could be cases where the rental car had hidden damages that were blamed on the customer, resulting in extra charges.
A family was going on a long - distance road trip. They chose Enterprise Rent - a - Car because of their wide range of vehicle options. They got a spacious SUV that was comfortable for the whole family. Along the way, they had no issues with the vehicle. Enterprise's customer service was also great when they had a minor query about the vehicle's features. This positive experience shows how Enterprise can be successful in serving individual customers for their special travel needs.
Sure. A homeowner had their property listed on Zillow, and suddenly they started getting calls from all over the country from people claiming they had bought the house through Zillow. It turned out that there was some sort of glitch in Zillow's system that made it seem like the house was sold multiple times. The homeowner had to spend a lot of time and effort to clear up this mess and prove that the house was still on the market.
One really bad bridal horror story involved the bridal makeup artist not showing up. The bride had to do her own makeup in a hurry and it looked really bad. To make matters worse, the hair stylist was really late and did a terrible job. The bride ended up looking nothing like she had hoped on her big day. There were also issues with the music. The DJ played all the wrong songs and the first dance was a total disaster.
There was a situation where a couple stored some of their winter clothes in a damp attic. When they went to get the clothes out the next winter, they were horrified to find that mold had completely covered the clothes. The mold had not only made the clothes unusable but also had a very unpleasant smell. They had to throw away all those clothes and clean the attic thoroughly to prevent the mold from spreading further.
One horror story is about a woman who bid on a van at Copart. She planned to use it for her small business. After getting the van, she realized that the mechanical problems were far more severe than what was described. It cost her a fortune to repair it, almost double the price she paid for the van itself. And on top of that, Copart was not very helpful in resolving the issue.
I know of a story where a waitress was serving a large group. One of the group members secretly slipped a piece of jewelry into her apron pocket. Later, they accused her of stealing it. The waitress was mortified and searched everywhere. It was only when another customer saw what really happened and spoke up that she was cleared. But the whole experience made her feel so violated and distrusted in her workplace.
A waiter once had a party of ten people. They all ordered different complex dishes. The kitchen was a bit backed up, but the waiter tried to keep the customers happy. When the food finally came out, one of the customers found a hair in their food. The waiter apologized and offered to get a new dish. But the customer was so angry that they demanded the whole table's meal to be free. The manager had to get involved, and it was a huge mess. The waiter felt so bad and got a lot of blame, even though it could have been a mistake in the kitchen or from the food supplier.
