There might be horror stories where an apple orchard is haunted. Imagine an old, overgrown orchard where at night, strange noises come from the trees. People who enter the orchard claim to see shadowy figures among the apple trees, and some even say the apples themselves seem to have an evil glint.
There have been cases where people lost their items with an AirTag attached. But instead of being able to easily locate it, the AirTag malfunctioned. For example, it showed the wrong location or didn't update the location at all, causing great distress to the owner who was relying on it to find their precious item.
There have been reports of strict management styles. For example, some managers might be overly critical of employees' work. An employee could spend weeks on a project, only to have it completely torn apart by a manager without much constructive feedback on how to improve, leaving the employee feeling demoralized.
Some users also faced problems with their peripherals. For instance, printers that were working fine before Catalina suddenly couldn't be recognized. It was a hassle as they had to search for new drivers or workarounds. This was especially difficult for small businesses or home offices that rely on these peripherals on a daily basis.
One horror story could be about someone who drank a large amount of apple cider vinegar without diluting it properly. They ended up with severe throat and stomach burns. The acidic nature of the vinegar was too much for their delicate tissues.
One horror story could be about a customer who pre - ordered an expensive new iPhone model. When they went to pick it up at the Apple Store, the staff couldn't find their order. After hours of waiting and multiple calls to different departments, they were finally told that there was a system glitch that cancelled their order without notifying them. They left disappointed and frustrated.
There was this time when Apple Maps directed me through a really sketchy neighborhood at night. It was a shortcut according to the app, but it felt so dangerous. There were people loitering around, and I was really scared for my safety. I'll never trust its shortcuts blindly again.
One horror story is about an overbearing customer. An Apple Store employee was constantly harassed by a customer who demanded a full refund for a product that had obvious signs of misuse. The customer became verbally abusive when the employee tried to explain the company's policy. It was really a nightmare for the poor employee.
One of the most frequent horror stories is related to the Apple Store's return policy. Customers sometimes face difficulties when trying to return a product within the return period. The store might claim that there are signs of misuse or damage that the customer doesn't believe they caused. There are also stories about the Genius Bar. Some technicians seem to lack the necessary expertise. For instance, a customer with a software issue might be told that they need to replace a hardware component instead of getting a proper software fix.
One common theme is poor customer service. Staff might be unhelpful or not well - trained.
The most common one is probably incorrect directions. Like it'll say a place is on the left side of the road when it's actually on the right. Another is sending people to closed roads or ones that are under construction.
