Another common one is when the car is in a really bad condition. I once got into a rideshare where the seats were all torn and there was a strange smell. It was like the car hadn't been cleaned in ages. Also, some drivers play music extremely loudly without asking the passengers, which can be really annoying.
Poor safety regulations often play a role in carnival ride horror stories. In some places where carnival rides are set up without strict supervision, rides might be overloaded with passengers. This can lead to rides not working properly or even collapsing. Also, inexperience of the carnival staff can be a factor. They may not know how to handle emergencies, making a bad situation even worse for the riders.
There was a roller coaster that had a malfunction. As it started its descent, a piece of the track seemed to come loose. The coaster jolted violently and made a horrible screeching noise. Riders were convinced they were going to derail and crash. Luckily, the emergency brakes kicked in just in time, but the screams of the riders could be heard throughout the carnival. It took a long time for them to calm down after that ordeal.
One of the scariest stories was a passenger in an Uber who realized the driver was under the influence of drugs. The driver's eyes were glazed and his driving was all over the place. The passenger quickly called the authorities.
Sure. One time I got into a rideshare and the driver was smoking. The whole car smelled awful and it made me feel sick during the ride.
One of the most common issues is a lack of communication between the owner and the people doing the pimping. The owner may have one vision in mind, but the modifiers don't fully understand it. So, the end result is something completely different from what was expected, like when a person wanted a sleek and classy look but got a gaudy and over - the - top design instead.
The long and exhausting hours are also a big part of their horror stories. Models can be on set for 12 - 15 hours or more. They have to keep their energy up, look good, and perform well throughout this time. It's really draining both physically and mentally. For instance, a model might have to do multiple shoots in a day with little time to rest in between.
One common horror story could be having a really bad roommate. For example, a roommate who is extremely messy, leaves dirty dishes everywhere, and never cleans up. Another might be getting lost in a completely unfamiliar city with no one to turn to for help. Also, having difficulties with the language barrier in a crucial situation, like getting sick and not being able to communicate properly with the doctor.
In many house share horror stories, the big problems are related to cleanliness. Some people are just slobs and don't clean up after themselves in shared spaces like the kitchen or bathroom. It can lead to a really unhygienic living environment. Also, there can be issues with noise. Some roommates might be noisy at inappropriate times, like having parties in the middle of the week when others need to study or work.
A common one is inaccurate property listings. Redfin might show a property with certain amenities like a big backyard or a renovated kitchen, but in reality, it's either much smaller or in a dilapidated state.
Hair loss is also a common 'keto horror story'. When your body is adjusting to the keto diet, it might not get all the nutrients it needs right away. This can lead to hair becoming brittle and falling out, which can be very distressing for those who value their hair.
