Can you share a particular CalArts horror story?

Sure. There was a time when a storm hit Glastonbury. The strong winds tore down many tents. People were suddenly exposed to the elements, and their belongings were scattered everywhere. Some were even injured by flying debris as they tried to hold on to their collapsing tents.

Sure. There was a case where a OnePlus user's phone got bricked after a system update. They followed all the proper procedures for the update, but once it was done, the phone wouldn't turn on at all. It was just a dead piece of hardware, and they lost all their data stored on the phone, which was really a nightmare.

A family had an Owlet that started giving inconsistent oxygen level readings. One moment it would show normal levels, and the next it would drop alarmingly low. This went on for a while, causing the parents a great deal of stress. They called the doctor multiple times, and after some investigation, it turned out to be a problem with the sensor calibration. However, during those days of uncertainty, they were living in horror, constantly worried about their baby's health.

Sure. There was a story of a truck owner. He used Amsoil in his truck's transmission. After a short while, he noticed that the shifting was becoming rough. It turned out that the Amsoil seemed to be causing some sort of reaction with the transmission components. He had to drain the Amsoil and clean the transmission thoroughly before using a different lubricant to get the smooth shifting back.

Sure. There was a student who had a really hard time with the dress code. One day, she unknowingly wore something that was considered against the rules. She was called out in public and made to feel embarrassed. It was a horrible experience for her as she didn't mean to break any rules and just wanted to express herself a bit through her clothing.

In one catnip horror story, a cat's encounter with catnip led to it getting stuck in a very small space. The cat was so hyperactive from the catnip that it tried to squeeze into a tiny hole in the wall. It got stuck halfway and started meowing pitifully. The owner had to call for help and it took some effort to carefully extract the cat without hurting it. It was a very nerve - wracking experience for both the cat and the owner.

I heard about a student who had a really bad roommate experience. The roommate was extremely messy and would leave dirty dishes and clothes all over the place. The worst part was that they were really noisy at night, playing loud music or having friends over when the other roommate was trying to study or sleep. The student tried to talk to the roommate but it didn't seem to help at all, which made their living situation a real horror story.

Sure. There was a winner who won a substantial amount. He was so excited about his new wealth that he started investing in various business ventures without really understanding them. Many of these turned out to be scams or just bad investments. He also got involved with the wrong crowd who were only interested in his money. As a result, he ended up losing most of his winnings. His family also fell apart because of the stress and the changes in his lifestyle. He went from being a happy, ordinary person to a desperate and broke individual all because of mismanaging his Powerball win.

Sure. There was a person who studied really hard for the CISSP exam. They dedicated all their free time for months, sacrificing time with family and friends. They thought they were well - prepared. But on the day of the exam, they realized that the stress of the exam environment was too much for them. The strict proctoring, the ticking clock, and the fact that they knew how much was at stake made them extremely nervous. They started second - guessing themselves on every question, even the ones they were sure about during their study. In the end, they failed the exam, and it was a huge disappointment after all that effort.

Sure. There was a person who had a pre - existing medical condition that they didn't think would interact with Coricidin. They took the medicine for a common cold. But soon after, they noticed that their blood pressure spiked to a dangerously high level. They felt a pounding headache, their vision was getting blurry, and they were sweating profusely. They called an ambulance and were in the hospital for a few days while the doctors tried to stabilize their condition. It was a nightmare for them as they were worried about long - term effects on their heart and other organs. This story shows how important it is to always check with a doctor before taking any new medicine, especially if you have an existing health issue.
