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.
My horror story with Swift Transportation involves a long - distance trip. The vehicle broke down in the middle of nowhere. We were left stranded for hours. The company took a long time to send help. And when they finally did, the replacement vehicle was too small for all of us and our luggage. It was a really frustrating experience.
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.
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.
I took a ferry once and there was a rat running around on the deck. People were screaming and panicking. The crew didn't seem to be able to catch it quickly. It was a nightmare especially for those with a fear of rodents.
One of the horror stories I've heard is that a girl took Plan B and then had a very heavy and long - lasting period. It was much worse than her normal periods. She bled through her clothes a couple of times because she didn't expect it to be that bad. It made her feel really embarrassed and also physically weak. She had to take extra iron supplements to make up for the blood loss.
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.
I heard of a temp worker who was promised a certain wage but when payday came, they were paid way less. The company tried to say it was a mistake but it took weeks to sort out. Another horror story is that some temp workers were made to work in extremely hot conditions without proper ventilation. They were on the verge of passing out from the heat.
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.
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.
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.
