Delays are very common in Kickstarter horror stories. There could be various reasons for this. Maybe they face technical difficulties during production, or they have trouble finding reliable suppliers. But instead of being honest with backers from the start, they keep delaying and often end up delivering a sub - par product much later than expected.
False advertising is also a big issue. They show amazing prototypes or concepts that are far from what they can actually produce. This makes backers think they are getting a great product when in reality it's a disappointment. Another problem is lack of communication. Some creators just disappear and don't update backers on the progress or problems of the project.
Another common issue is getting back devices in a worse state than when they were sent. This can include new damages like scratches, dents or non - working parts. For example, a customer sent a camera in perfect working order except for a small lens issue, and got it back with a broken shutter button and a big scratch on the body. Also, receiving sub - standard replacement items is common. Instead of new products, customers sometimes get refurbished or defective ones.
One common problem is slow response time. You call them, and it takes ages for them to get back to you. Another is incompetent technicians who don't really know how to solve the problem. For example, they might misdiagnose an issue and waste a lot of time on the wrong solution.
In hvac horror stories, faulty thermostats are often a problem. They can give false readings and make the system work erratically. Leaks are also common. If there's a refrigerant leak, the system won't cool or heat properly. Also, clogged filters can lead to poor air quality and reduced efficiency. The system has to work harder and might even break down. These issues can be a real headache for homeowners or building managers.
The most common problems? Firstly, there's the initial shock and inconvenience of not having your things when you arrive at your destination. You might have important meetings or events and no proper clothes. Then, the search process is often frustrating. Airlines may not have an efficient system to track the luggage. And if your luggage contains perishable items, like food or flowers, they will be ruined by the time it's found. This is especially a problem for people traveling for special occasions or business trips where they need specific items in their luggage.
False advertising is a big one. Like when the amenities shown in the pictures or described are not there. For example, a pool that's supposed to be there but isn't.
One common problem is machine malfunction. Just like in the story I mentioned before, a faulty machine can give false results. Another is operator error. If the person operating the polygraph doesn't know how to properly use it or calibrate it, wrong results can occur.
The most common problems? Well, first off, there's the issue of valets misplacing cars. I've heard of cases where cars were parked in the wrong lots and it took ages to find them. Then there's the matter of valets being inexperienced drivers. They might not be used to driving certain types of cars and end up causing damage. And don't forget about theft. Although it's not that common, there have been cases where items were stolen from cars while in valet parking.
Equipment failure is really common. For example, speakers blowing out or mixers malfunctioning at crucial times.
Mechanical issues like strange noises from the engine are common. For example, a knocking sound that makes you think the engine is about to fall apart.
In many house share horror stories, the big problems are related to cleanliness. Some people are just slobs and don't clean up after themselves in shared spaces like the kitchen or bathroom. It can lead to a really unhygienic living environment. Also, there can be issues with noise. Some roommates might be noisy at inappropriate times, like having parties in the middle of the week when others need to study or work.
