Bad service is also a big part of these horror stories. For example, the waitstaff being extremely rude. They might ignore customers for long periods or talk back to them when there are complaints. A customer could be waiting for a drink refill for ages and the waiter just acts like they don't exist. This kind of behavior can turn a pleasant dining experience into a horror story.
Food contamination is quite common. Like the time when someone found a piece of plastic in their soup. It was a real shock for the diner.
Another common type is incorrect orders. Picture this: a customer orders a vegetarian dish but gets served a plate full of meat. This not only goes against their dietary preferences but also shows a lack of attention to detail in the kitchen. It can be really frustrating for the customer, especially if they have strong beliefs about what they eat.
Misrepresentation is a common one. Like when someone lies about their job or appearance. For example, saying they are a successful entrepreneur when they are actually unemployed, or using a really old and flattering photo on their dating profile.
Jealousy is a common theme. For example, a partner getting jealous over every little interaction the other has with someone of the opposite sex.
Another is the administrative horror. For example, when teachers are not given enough resources or when they are overloaded with paperwork and bureaucracy that takes away from their teaching time. This can be really frustrating for them.
The teacher who is unprepared is also a common horror story. They would come to class without proper lesson plans, so the class time would be wasted. Maybe they would just make the students read from the book the whole time without any real teaching. Also, teachers who are overly critical and find fault in everything a student does, from how they hold their books to how they walk in the classroom.
One common type is getting the wrong length. Like when someone asks for a few inches off and ends up with half their hair gone. Another is bad layering. It can make the hair look really choppy and unflattering. And then there's the issue of color disasters. Sometimes the dye job turns out completely different from what was expected.
Verbal harassment is common. For example, using harsh and demeaning words to put someone down. Another type is power - based harassment, like a boss using their position to intimidate an employee into doing something they don't want to do.
One common type is the over - demanding bride. For example, she may demand that the bridesmaids lose a certain amount of weight in a short time to fit into the dresses she has chosen.
A frequent horror story is when there is a huge miscommunication about the type of date. One person might think it's a casual coffee date, while the other has planned an elaborate dinner and is dressed up. So, there's this immediate sense of being mismatched. It can lead to an uncomfortable start and often a not - so - great date overall.
One common one is bad haircuts. People see a trendy haircut on BuzzFeed and go to their stylist. But the stylist either misinterprets it or doesn't have the skills to pull it off. Another is makeup disasters like the wrong foundation shade that makes you look like a ghost or a clown. And then there are skin problems from using products that are not suitable for your skin type, like a super - drying face wash for people with dry skin.
One common story is about roommates who don't respect personal space. They might go through your stuff or barge into your room without knocking. It's really uncomfortable and makes you feel like you have no privacy at all.
