What are the most common real life IT horror stories?

A very common real life teaching horror story is when there is miscommunication between teachers and school administrators. For example, the administration might change the curriculum suddenly without proper notice to the teachers. Then the teachers are left scrambling to adjust their lesson plans. Also, there are times when teachers face excessive paperwork and bureaucratic red tape that takes away from their teaching time. They have to fill out countless forms about student progress, attendance, etc., which can be very time - consuming and frustrating.

One common one is getting scammed. For example, paying a lot for a so - called 'luxury' tour that turns out to be a basic one. Another is bad accommodation like in my previous story. And also transportation problems. I've heard of people missing flights due to long lines at security or having their rental cars break down in the middle of nowhere.

Weather can also create camping horror stories. Sudden storms can be terrifying. Lightning strikes close by, strong winds that threaten to blow away your tent, and heavy rain that floods your campsite. Also, hearing strange noises at night. It could be the wind in the trees, but your mind might think it's something more sinister like a ghost or a monster. This psychological aspect is very common in camping horror stories.

Personal safety threats also occur often. Some people use Craigslist to set up dangerous meetings. There have been stories of people being lured to meet under false pretenses and then being robbed or assaulted. It's really scary.

One common type is catfishing. People use fake pictures and false information to deceive others. Another is when someone has a really bad attitude in person like being overly aggressive or rude. Also, there are cases where people have hidden motives such as just looking for money or a place to stay.

One of the most common elements is the sense of powerlessness of the patients. In many real asylum horror stories, patients are at the mercy of the asylum system. For example, they could be wrongly diagnosed and then forced to endure treatments that were not appropriate for them. And then there is the issue of neglect. Asylums may be underfunded, so basic needs like food and clean clothing are not met for the patients.

The most common ones are probably alcohol and drug addictions. People often start using them for various reasons like peer pressure or to escape from problems, and then can't stop. Another common one is gambling addiction. People get hooked on the thrill of winning and keep gambling even when they lose a lot of money.

Another is feeling extremely nauseous. For example, you might have had a few too many beers at a sports event and the next morning you can't keep anything down. It's not just the physical discomfort but also the mental fog that comes with it. You might forget where you put things or what you were supposed to do that day. It can really mess up your whole day and make you vow to drink less next time.

In families, inheritance - related betrayals are quite common. One family member might manipulate the will or deceive others to get a larger share of the inheritance. This often leads to long - lasting family feuds and broken relationships. It shows how greed can lead to betrayal within the family unit.

One terrifying story is about a group of friends who explored an abandoned asylum. Inside, they heard screams and saw fleeting apparitions. They found old patient records that detailed inhumane treatments. It was really spooky.
