True Realtor Horror Stories: What Are the Worst Cases You've Heard?

One horror story I've heard is when a consumer proposed a new product idea to a big company. The company took the idea, made some minor changes, and launched it as their own without any credit or compensation to the original proposer. It was a blatant case of idea theft.

One of the worst I've heard was a person who only made minimum payments for years. The interest piled up so high that they ended up owing more than double their original debt. It was a never - ending cycle as they couldn't afford to pay more than the minimum and the debt just kept growing.

There was an open house where the neighbors were having a very loud and raucous party. The noise was so bad that it was impossible for the realtor to show the house properly or for the buyers to really consider the property. The realtor had no control over the neighbors and it was a very frustrating situation. It was like the open house was doomed from the start due to this external factor.

A friend of mine got a call from a telemarketer who started yelling at her when she said she didn't want the product. It was completely unacceptable behavior.

I heard about a person who had gerd so bad that it damaged their esophagus over time. They had to go through a lot of medical treatments and had to be really careful with their diet all the time. It was a horror story in terms of the long - term effects on their health.

A realtor had a client who was really picky. They had seen like ten houses already. When they entered the eleventh house, the client immediately sat on the couch and said, 'This is it!' The realtor was shocked and asked why. The client said, 'The couch is so comfortable, I don't care about the rest!' It was really unexpected.

A friend of mine who worked at a hotel had a customer who checked in late and then complained about everything. The room was too cold, the sheets were too rough, the view was bad. When my friend tried to help, the customer was so mean and told him he was incompetent. Eventually, the customer demanded a full refund and left in a huff.

One of the horror stories I've heard is that a girl took Plan B and then had a very heavy and long - lasting period. It was much worse than her normal periods. She bled through her clothes a couple of times because she didn't expect it to be that bad. It made her feel really embarrassed and also physically weak. She had to take extra iron supplements to make up for the blood loss.

A friend of mine had a date who took her to a really seedy part of town. The place was dirty and there were some really sketchy - looking people around. She was so scared and just wanted to leave right away. It was a really bad choice of location for a date.

I heard about a flight that got delayed multiple times. First, it was because of a mechanical problem. Then, they had trouble finding a replacement part. The passengers were kept in the airport for over two days. They had to sleep on the hard benches, and the airline only provided minimal food. It was a disaster. There were families with small children, and it was really difficult for them. People missed important events like weddings and funerals because of this delay.
