What are some 'postdoc horror stories' that researchers have experienced?

A common element is a lack of support from the supervisor. If the supervisor is not available to answer questions, provide guidance, or offer feedback, it can make the postdoc's life very difficult. It's like sailing a ship without a compass.

Some patients have reported severe nausea as part of their 'duloxetine horror stories'. It can be so intense that it affects their daily life, making it difficult to eat or function normally. Also, there are cases where people had extreme mood swings, feeling very agitated or depressed even more than before starting the drug.

Some might have horror stories related to delivery. There could be long delays. Like, a customer ordered a new sofa weeks in advance for a special occasion. But Ikea kept postponing the delivery date. By the time it finally arrived, the occasion had already passed, and the customer was left disappointed.

One horror story could be about getting scammed by a so - called 'travel agent' in Ibiza. They promised a luxury villa but when people arrived, it was a run - down shack.

Well, I heard of a WestJet horror story where a family was split up during boarding. Despite having booked seats together, they were placed in different parts of the plane. It was a nightmare especially for the parents with young children. Also, there are stories of overbooking. People showed up for their flights but were told there were no seats available for them due to overbooking, and WestJet's handling of the situation was not satisfactory at all.

Another horror story involves fractures. Despite the drug being meant to help with bone health, some patients on Prolia had an increased risk of fractures. They felt betrayed as they expected the drug to prevent fractures but instead it seemed to contribute to this problem in some cases.

One 'homecoming horror story' could be coming home to find your house has been broken into and all your valuables are gone. It's a terrifying feeling of violation.

Well, there was a case where Hertz overcharged a customer. They added extra fees that were not clearly explained. The customer had a hard time getting it sorted out, spending hours on the phone with their customer service which was not very helpful at all. Hertz really should be more transparent about their charges.

There have been stories about issues with the autopilot feature. For example, some users reported that the autopilot seemed to misjudge distances or made erratic lane changes, which made them feel very unsafe.

There are reports where patients taking Trulicity had extremely disrupted digestive systems. They suffered from constant nausea and vomiting, which made it difficult for them to go about their daily lives. It was like their bodies were constantly in a state of upheaval. This was part of their 'trulicity horror stories' as it affected their quality of life significantly. They couldn't eat properly or engage in normal activities without feeling sick. Some had to stop taking the medication altogether because of these unbearable side effects.
