I heard about a case where a telemarketer called an elderly person repeatedly and scared them into thinking they had unpaid bills. The poor old person was so worried until their family found out it was just a false claim from the telemarketer. This shows how some telemarketers can be so unethical.
A friend of mine got a call from a telemarketer who started yelling at her when she said she didn't want the product. It was completely unacceptable behavior.
Well, one horror story that stands out is when a telemarketer called a single mother who was in the middle of taking care of her sick child. The telemarketer was pushy and wouldn't let her go, even when she explained her situation. This is not only annoying but also inhumane as people might be in the middle of important or difficult situations and these telemarketers just don't care.
I heard about a person who had gerd so bad that it damaged their esophagus over time. They had to go through a lot of medical treatments and had to be really careful with their diet all the time. It was a horror story in terms of the long - term effects on their health.
Someone told me about their eBay return horror story. They bought an expensive item that turned out to be faulty. When they returned it, the seller kept delaying the refund. They said they were waiting for the item to be inspected, but it seemed like they were just trying to hold onto the buyer's money. The buyer had to keep pushing eBay to step in, and it took months before they finally got their money back.
One that stands out is a person who got motion sickness on a roller coaster. They thought it would be fun but ended up feeling extremely nauseous. The twists and turns made them dizzy and they almost passed out during the ride.
A friend told me about a co - worker who would constantly eavesdrop on others' conversations. He would then use the information he overheard to his advantage, like trying to get credit for other people's work. It was really unethical.
A friend of mine had a situation where the elevator in their apartment building broke down. The maintenance crew said it would be fixed in a day but it ended up being out of service for over a week. People had to walk up and down several floors with groceries and other heavy items. It was really inconvenient.
A casting director once held auditions in a very small and cramped space. There was no proper ventilation, and it was extremely hot. The actors were sweating profusely during their auditions, which was not only uncomfortable but also affected their performance. It was really inconsiderate of the casting director.
I've heard of a situation where a Swift Transportation vehicle had a flat tire on a highway at night. The driver didn't have the proper tools to change it and the company's emergency service took forever to arrive. The passengers were scared and cold waiting there for so long.
There was a story about a neighbor who had a very noisy lawnmower. And he would use it at the crack of dawn every Sunday. The sound of the lawnmower was so loud that it woke up everyone in the neighborhood. It was really inconsiderate because Sunday is supposed to be a day for people to relax and sleep in a bit. But this neighbor just didn't seem to care about others' peace and quiet.
I heard of an apartment manager who completely ignored safety regulations. The fire alarms in the building were broken for months, and the emergency exits were often blocked. When a tenant reported it, the manager threatened to evict them for causing trouble. It was a very dangerous situation for all the residents in that apartment building.
I heard that a friend of mine had a billing issue with Comcast. They overcharged him and when he called support, they were extremely rude and refused to listen to him. They just kept saying he was wrong. It took him months to get the issue resolved.
