Share your IR horror story on Gradcafe.

For me, the worst IR horror story on Gradcafe would be getting into a heated argument with an IR expert there. You think you know your stuff, but they completely tear you down in front of everyone. They make you question your entire understanding of IR concepts, and it's really humiliating and makes you lose confidence in your IR abilities.

Sure. There's a story of an IR couple where the hot wife is Middle Eastern and her husband is from South Asia. They met at a university. The hot wife was known for her intelligence and grace. Their relationship grew as they discovered common interests in literature and art. They now have a beautiful family and are an example of how an IR relationship can thrive with mutual understanding and support.

I once ordered a computer from TigerDirect. When it arrived, the box was all banged up. I opened it nervously, and found that the monitor had a huge crack across it. I immediately contacted their customer service, but it took forever to get a response. And when they finally did, they were very unhelpful, trying to blame the shipping company instead of taking responsibility for their poor packaging.

Once I was camping in the woods. At night, I heard strange growling noises. I peeked out of my tent and saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. After what felt like hours, the eyes disappeared. I later found out it was probably a wild dog, but it was terrifying at that moment.

Once in my Sims 4 game, my Sim moved into a seemingly normal house. But at night, strange noises started. When she went to the basement, there was a shadowy figure that disappeared when she got closer. It was really creepy and made her scared to be in the house alone.

One holiday, I went camping in the woods. At night, I heard strange growls. I thought it was just my imagination at first. But then I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I was so scared that I froze. I quickly got into my tent and zipped it up tight. I stayed awake all night, listening to the noises outside. In the morning, I found out it was just a wild dog, but it sure felt like a horror story at the time.

My landlady once came into my apartment without permission. I was taking a nap on the couch and suddenly heard the door open. She just walked in to check if I had put new batteries in the smoke detector. It was so creepy and invaded my privacy.

I had a horror story at McDonald's. I ordered a McFlurry and when I started eating it, there was a piece of plastic in it. I was really shocked. I told the staff and they apologized and gave me a new one, but it still made me feel uneasy about the food quality there.

My roommate horror story was that he never cleaned. The kitchen was always a mess with dirty dishes piled high. It smelled awful. I had to do all the cleaning just to keep the place livable.

Well, once I read a Quora horror story about a haunted house. A user described how they heard strange noises at night, like whispers and footsteps. They felt cold spots even in the middle of summer. The scariest part was when they saw a shadowy figure in the hallway. It just stood there, not moving, and then vanished. It gave me chills just reading it.
