One horror story is about a farmer who found a large rattlesnake in his barn while trying to milk the cows. He was inches away from it when he heard the rattle. Another is when a worker was using a tractor at night and the headlights suddenly went out in the middle of a large field, leaving him completely in the dark and lost. And then there was the time a field hand got stung by a swarm of angry bees when he accidentally knocked over their hive while weeding.
Sure. There was this one time on a farm. Workers were harvesting corn. One of them stepped into a hidden groundhog hole and twisted his ankle really bad. He was in so much pain and it took a long time for help to reach him as they were far from the farmhouse. Another horror story is that during a storm, a farmer went to check on his livestock in the shed. A large branch from a nearby tree crashed through the roof right where he had been standing just seconds before. Also, a farm worker once got trapped in a silo when the ladder broke. He was stuck there for hours until someone noticed he was missing.
One farm horror story I heard was about a farmer who kept hearing strange noises at night. He thought it was just wild animals at first. But one night, he saw a shadowy figure moving in his barn. When he went to check, he found all his cows were acting really strangely, as if they were scared of something invisible. He never found out what it was and it spooked him so much that he sold the farm.
Sure. There was a case where a group of backpackers went to work on a large fruit - picking farm. They were promised good pay and accommodation. But when they got there, the accommodation was full of bugs and rodents. And they were paid way less than what was promised, as the farm owner found all kinds of excuses to deduct their wages.
Sure. There was a farmer who single - handedly plowed his large field during the spring. He started at dawn and worked until dusk every day. He didn't have any fancy machinery, just his old plow and his horse. But through his hard work, he managed to plant all his crops on time and had a great harvest that year.
One horror story is about the extreme long working hours. Workers were made to work from dawn till dusk with very few breaks. They were so exhausted but still had to meet high quotas. Another is the poor living conditions. Some farms provided filthy and overcrowded accommodation for the workers. And there were also cases of workers being underpaid or not paid at all despite their hard work.
In farm work horror stories, one of the scariest parts is unexpected encounters with wild animals. Like snakes slithering out suddenly or bears showing up near the livestock. Another scary part is machinery malfunctions. For example, when a tractor breaks down in the middle of a big field far from help. Also, bad weather can be terrifying. Storms can damage buildings and put the lives of farmers and workers at risk.
Sure. One common one is the office politics. There are always some people who try to get ahead by stepping on others. They might take credit for your work or undermine you in front of the boss. It creates a really toxic work atmosphere.
In a factory maintenance work, they were supposed to clean and maintain a large piece of machinery. But one of the workers forgot to lock a crucial part in place after cleaning. When they restarted the machine, that part flew out and damaged other components. It led to weeks of production halt and costly repairs.
Sure. One of my work experience horror stories was when I worked in a restaurant. The manager was extremely rude. He would yell at the staff in front of customers for the tiniest mistakes. It created a really tense and unpleasant working environment.
One horror story could be long and intense crunch times during the development of a major Nintendo game. Developers might have to work extremely long hours for weeks on end to meet strict deadlines. This can lead to burnout and a negative impact on their personal lives.
Sure. One time at my old job, we had a major presentation. Right before it started, the projector died. We were all scrambling to find a solution while the clients waited. It was a horror in the sense of panic but looking back, it's kind of funny how we all ran around like headless chickens.
