One of the worst stories I've heard was when a guy accidentally short - circuited his new motherboard. He was in a hurry and didn't ground himself properly. He plugged in a cable wrong and there was a spark. The motherboard was fried instantly. All his components were new and expensive, and he had to start all over again.
I knew someone who built their computer and everything seemed fine at first. But after a few days, the computer started making really strange noises. They opened it up and found that a cable had come loose and was getting caught in the fan. This not only made the noise but also caused the fan to stop working properly, which led to overheating issues. They had to be really careful to re - route all the cables and make sure they were secure. It was a headache.
One of the worst poop horror stories I've heard was from a friend who was traveling. He had eaten some really bad street food and suddenly got an urgent need to go. But the public restroom he found was so dirty and smelly that he almost threw up while trying to use it. He said it was the most disgusting and difficult poop experience he ever had.
One of the worst hotel horror stories I've heard was about a friend who checked into a supposedly nice hotel. When he entered the room, there were cockroaches everywhere. He immediately went to the front desk to complain, but the staff was very unhelpful and just said they would send someone to spray later. He couldn't stay in that room and had to find another hotel at the last minute.
One of the worst mechanic horror stories I've heard was about a guy who took his car in for a simple oil change. When he got it back, there were strange noises coming from the engine. Turns out the mechanic had used the wrong type of oil filter, which caused a blockage. It cost him a fortune to fix the damage that could have been easily avoided with proper attention to detail.
One of the worst landlord horror stories I've heard was about a landlord who refused to fix a leaking roof. It rained constantly, and the tenant's belongings got soaked. The landlord just ignored the calls and messages about the problem.
One horror story I've heard is about a homeowner who painted their front door a color not on the 'approved' list. The homeowners association fined them a huge amount and threatened legal action. It was just a door color, not something that affected the neighborhood negatively in any real way.
Well, there was this case where a mother - in - law tried to control every aspect of her son and daughter - in - law's life. She would barge into their house unannounced, rearrange their furniture according to her taste, and even tried to tell them how to raise their children. It was a nightmare for the couple as they had no privacy and constantly felt undermined in their own family decisions.
My worst prom - related experience was when my date got food poisoning right before prom. He was really sick and couldn't come. I ended up going alone, but it just wasn't the same. I felt so out of place and sad throughout the whole night.
Another thing that can go wrong is using the wrong power supply. If it doesn't provide enough wattage for all the components, the computer may not even start or it could cause damage to the components over time. For example, if you have a high - end graphics card and a powerful CPU, but a low - wattage power supply, you're asking for trouble. I've seen cases where the power supply just couldn't handle the load and blew up, taking other parts with it.
One horror story is when a person was building a computer. They were almost done, but when they plugged in the power supply for the first time, there was a loud pop and a small spark. Turns out they had accidentally pinched a wire while installing the motherboard, which short - circuited and damaged some components.
One of the worst school lunch stories I had was when they served a mystery meat. It looked like some sort of greyish - brown mush. It was supposed to be beef, but it had no taste or texture of real beef. I took one bite and couldn't swallow it. I ended up just eating the side salad that day, which was just some wilted lettuce and a few slices of cucumber.
