One horror story is when an old oil tank was removed without proper inspection first. Workers started the removal process and found that the tank had a large leak that had seeped into the soil for years. This led to a huge environmental cleanup cost that the homeowner wasn't expecting. The company doing the removal tried to blame the homeowner for not disclosing the possible leak, but the homeowner had no idea. It was a nightmare of legal battles and financial stress.
There was a case where during oil tank removal, the equipment used malfunctioned. The crane that was supposed to lift the tank out broke down halfway through. The tank was left hanging dangerously, and there was a risk of it falling and causing damage to the property or even injury to the workers. It took days to get the right replacement parts and finish the job, and all the while the homeowner was worried sick about what could go wrong.
In many oil tank removal horror stories, miscommunication plays a part. Between the homeowner and the removal company, there may be misunderstandings about the scope of work, cost, or expected timeline. For example, the homeowner may think that the removal includes soil remediation, but the company only plans to take out the tank. Also, companies may underestimate the size or condition of the tank. If they come prepared for a small, intact tank and find a large, corroded one, it can lead to all sorts of problems from not having the right equipment on hand to not being able to complete the job in a timely manner.
One horror story I have is when I used a cheap wax strip. It didn't come off cleanly and left bits of wax all over my skin. It took forever to scrub it off and my skin was red and irritated for days.
I had a friend who tried to remove earwax with a bobby pin. It was a really bad idea. He accidentally scratched his ear canal and it started bleeding. He was in so much pain. He had to go to the doctor to make sure there was no serious damage. After that, he learned his lesson and will never use something so inappropriate for earwax removal again.
I've heard that some people using Rejuvi tattoo removal had really bad skin reactions. Their skin became extremely red, swollen and itchy. It was like their skin was on fire. Some even had permanent scarring where the tattoo was being removed.
A woman shared her story where the IUD removal was botched. The tool used to remove it slipped and caused some internal injury. She then had to deal with not only the pain from the injury but also the worry of potential long - term damage. She had to go through further tests and follow - up appointments which were both time - consuming and emotionally draining.
I heard of a case where the person had electrolysis and ended up with small pits on their skin. It was really a horror story. Apparently, the electrolysis device was too strong for their skin type. Another case was of a person who had an electrolysis session and then developed a rash all over the treated area. It was due to an allergic reaction to the cleaning solution used after the procedure.
One horror story could be when an entrepreneur had a great product idea but the sharks ripped it apart so badly in terms of valuation and terms that the entrepreneur ended up losing all motivation and the business never took off. Another could be a situation where a deal was made on the show but then the sharks backed out later for some unforeseen reason, leaving the entrepreneur high and dry. And there are cases where the sharks' demands were so extreme that it put the entrepreneur in a financial hole trying to meet them.
One horror story could be about someone feeling trapped in the float tank. They might have panicked due to the enclosed space and the feeling of being alone in the dark. It was a terrifying experience as they couldn't get out immediately and started to hyperventilate.
A septic tank in a rural area had a tree root grow into it. This caused a blockage and made the sewage back up into the house. The family noticed a strange gurgling sound from the drains first. Then, dirty water started coming out of the toilets and sinks. It took a lot of effort to find the root cause and get it fixed as it was not easy to access the septic tank due to its location.
Sure. One common horror story is over - removal of buccal fat leading to a sunken - in look. It makes the face look skeletal and far from the aesthetically pleasing result that was hoped for.
