Share your Femco lathe horror stories?

One horror story could be about a Femco lathe suddenly malfunctioning during an important production run. The tool might break and fly off, endangering the operator and causing damage to the workpiece. It could lead to a halt in production and costly repairs.

One lathe horror story is about a worker who didn't properly secure a large piece of metal on the lathe. As the lathe started spinning, the piece came loose and flew across the workshop, narrowly missing several people. It caused a lot of damage to the equipment around as well.

One common element is lack of proper safety measures. For example, not wearing appropriate protective gear like goggles or gloves. Another is inattentiveness. When operators are distracted, accidents are more likely to happen. Also, poor maintenance of the lathe can lead to parts malfunctioning and causing dangerous situations.

There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.

Once on the muni, I saw a huge rat running across the floor. It was so disgusting and everyone was screaming. The driver just kept driving as if nothing happened.

My Amex horror story involves their billing system. There were some incorrect charges on my bill. When I tried to dispute them, the process was so convoluted. I had to send in multiple documents and wait for weeks. And even after all that, the issue wasn't fully resolved and I ended up paying a bit more than I should have.

One of my sublease horror stories was when the subletter completely trashed the place. They left garbage everywhere, and there were stains on the carpets and walls. It took a lot of money and effort to clean up after them.

Once I used a new face cream that was highly recommended. But after a few days, my face became extremely red and itchy. It turned out I was allergic to one of the ingredients.

I once had a recruiting experience where the company advertised a certain position with a great salary and benefits. However, when I got to the final round of interviews, they suddenly changed the job description completely. It was like they were trying to trick people into applying for a different job. They expected me to be okay with the new demands which were far from what was initially advertised. I declined the offer in the end.

One of my admissions horror stories was when I applied to a very competitive university. I sent in all my documents on time, but they claimed they never received my transcript. I had to go through a lot of hassle with my high school registrar to get another copy sent, and in the end, it was found that the university had misfiled it. It was extremely stressful as I thought my application would be rejected just because of their mistake.
