Can you share any particularly bad Groupon travel experiences?

Sure. We went on a skiing vacation. I had never skied before. I ended up falling a lot and getting injured. My parents then got into an argument because my dad thought my mom should have been watching me more closely. It completely ruined the mood of the vacation.

There was a case where a customer received a Lipsense that was clearly past its expiry date. She didn't notice at first. When she applied it, it was very clumpy and had a strange texture. It also left a really bad taste in her mouth. She then checked the packaging and realized it was expired. It was a waste of money and a very unpleasant experience.

Sure. There was a case where a family's flight was cancelled without any prior notice. They arrived at the airport all excited for their holiday only to be told the flight was cancelled. Ryanair offered no immediate alternative flights or proper accommodation. The family had to scramble to find a new flight with another airline which cost them a lot more money and also lost a day of their precious holiday time.

There's the story of a lawyer in a big law firm who was constantly bullied by a senior partner. The partner would publicly humiliate him in meetings, criticize his work in front of everyone, and give him the most menial tasks. The lawyer was constantly stressed and his confidence was completely shattered. He eventually left the firm, but the experience had a long - lasting negative impact on his self - esteem and his view of the legal profession.

Sure. There was a story where a user lost all of their family photos stored in iCloud. It was due to a misconfiguration in the iCloud settings that they were not aware of. The photos were gone forever as there was no backup elsewhere. It was a very sad situation as those photos held a lot of precious memories.

There was a situation where a couple stored some of their winter clothes in a damp attic. When they went to get the clothes out the next winter, they were horrified to find that mold had completely covered the clothes. The mold had not only made the clothes unusable but also had a very unpleasant smell. They had to throw away all those clothes and clean the attic thoroughly to prevent the mold from spreading further.

Sure. There was a girl who was at a summer camp. She was put in a cabin with several other girls. One night, she wet the bed. The counselor was not very sympathetic and made her wash her sheets in front of everyone. She was so ashamed that she cried for hours and begged her parents to take her home. She never wanted to go to camp again.

Sure. I once went to a meetup at a coffee shop. The description said it was a small group for book lovers to discuss a certain classic novel. When I got there, it was a huge, noisy crowd and no one was really interested in the book. People were just chatting about random things and it was impossible to have any meaningful conversation about the book.

A really bad roofing horror story was when a roofing company installed a new roof. They didn't check the flashing around the chimney properly. After a while, water started to seep in around the chimney and caused mold to grow in the attic. The homeowner didn't notice until there was a visible stain on the ceiling. By that time, the damage was extensive, and it required not only fixing the roof but also dealing with the mold problem, which was very costly.

Sure. I met a woman online who seemed very interesting. We talked for weeks and decided to meet. But when we met, she was nothing like she presented herself. She was overly possessive right away, asking me really personal questions about my finances and who I had been with in the past. She also got angry when I didn't answer her texts immediately during the date. It was a nightmare and I ended the date as soon as I could.
