Some people have horror stories about acrylic nails causing allergic reactions. The skin around the nails became red, itchy, and swollen. It took a long time to heal even after removing the acrylic nails. There was a lot of discomfort and they had to use various medications to soothe the irritation.
I've heard of a case where the acrylic nails were applied too thickly. It made it really difficult to do normal daily tasks like picking up small objects or typing. Eventually, the nails started to chip and look really ugly, but it was a hassle to get them removed properly. It was a nightmare for the person who just wanted nice - looking nails but ended up with a big mess.
One horror story is when the acrylic nail lifted and got caught on something, ripping off part of the real nail underneath. It was extremely painful and led to an infection.
A friend of mine had acrylic nails that were so long and pointy that she accidentally scratched her own face while sleeping. It left a long mark and she was so scared it would scar. Since then, she never got long acrylic nails again.
One horror story could be when someone wore compression socks that were too tight. Their legs started to turn purple and swell horribly. It was a terrifying sight and extremely painful for the person.
Well, a common horror story is when a doordash driver arrives at a restaurant and the order isn't ready. They have to wait for a long time, like 30 minutes or more. This messes up their whole schedule for other deliveries. Also, there are cases where a customer gives the wrong address. The driver goes all the way there only to find out it's the wrong place, and then has to figure out the correct one while the food is getting cold. Some drivers have even had food stolen right out of their hands when they were about to deliver it.
Well, I heard about a person who had Cool Sculpting. After the procedure, they noticed some strange lumps under their skin. These lumps were not only unsightly but also a bit painful when touched. It turned out that the fat cells didn't break down evenly as they should have during the Cool Sculpting process. Also, there was a case where a woman thought she would look great after Cool Sculpting, but she ended up with a sunken - in look in the treated area which made her look older instead of more youthful and toned.
One horror story is about a traveler who found the host on Couchsurfing was not who they claimed to be. The host had a really dirty and unhygienic place which was not shown in the profile pictures at all. It was full of bugs and smelled bad. The traveler had to leave immediately and find another place to stay in the middle of the night.
There was a situation where a stewardess was on a flight that encountered severe turbulence. Cabin items were flying around, and she was worried about passengers getting injured. She had to hold on tight herself while trying to secure the passengers. It was a really scary experience as she didn't know how long the turbulence would last.
A passenger once got into an Uber that smelled really bad, like rotting food. The seats were also dirty and sticky. On top of that, the driver was playing extremely loud and obnoxious music that the passenger hated. It made the whole ride a horrible experience. The passenger had no choice but to endure it as they were in a hurry to get to their destination.
One horror story could be when a dog sitter found the dog had chewed through electrical wires while they were gone for just a short time. It was a terrifying discovery as it could have led to a fire or electrocution of the dog.
In Southeast Asia, there are some really scary travel experiences. A common one is the bad weather horror. In Myanmar, for example, during the monsoon season, some travelers got caught in sudden and intense floods. Their transportation was disrupted, and they had to seek shelter in not - so - ideal places. Another is cultural misunderstandings. In Laos, a tourist accidentally offended a local by not following a certain religious custom, which led to an uncomfortable situation. Also, in Singapore, although it's a very safe city overall, there have been cases of pickpocketing in crowded areas like the markets, leaving travelers feeling violated and scared.
One horror story could be a foreign exchange student arriving at a host family's house only to find out they have a severe pest problem. Roaches everywhere and the family doesn't seem to care much about cleaning. Another could be facing extreme bullying at school because of being different. They get targeted by local students who make their life miserable.
