Sure. Once, I accidentally dropped a metal utensil on the ceramic cooktop. It chipped the surface right away. It not only made the cooktop look bad but also made me worry that the chip might affect the cooking performance in the future.
There was an instance where a ceramic cooktop got stained really badly. Some oil splattered during frying and no matter what cleaner was used, the stain just wouldn't come off completely. It was always there, a visible and annoying mark on the otherwise clean cooktop. And every time she cooked, she was reminded of that unsightly stain.
A friend of mine had a ceramic cooktop that seemed to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it wouldn't heat up evenly. One side of the pan would be boiling while the other side was barely warm. It was so frustrating for her when she was trying to cook a meal properly. She had to keep adjusting the pan position constantly, and in the end, the food still didn't turn out right.
Sure. Once I failed an important exam. I had studied really hard for it, but on the exam day, I got so nervous that I couldn't think clearly. I made a lot of stupid mistakes and ended up with a very low score. It made me feel so disappointed in myself and I was really down for a long time.
Sure. There are cases where recruiters misled recruits about the length of deployments. Telling them it would be shorter than it actually turned out to be. It's a big shock when someone signs up thinking they'll be home in a year but then find out it could be much longer.
Yes. I pre - ordered a game months in advance. On the release day, the store I pre - ordered from said they didn't have enough copies and I had to wait another week. By then, all the online guides and walkthroughs were out, and it kind of ruined the excitement of exploring the game on my own. Also, the price of the game dropped a bit during that week, which was really annoying.
Well, some people have complained about the seating arrangements. The seats are not very comfortable and there is very little legroom. One passenger said it was like sitting in a sardine can for the entire flight duration.
Sure. Some people have had the experience of their titanium rings breaking unexpectedly. Maybe it was a cheaply made titanium ring, but it still gave the wearer a shock when it snapped in half. It could be during normal daily activities like just reaching for something or even while sleeping.
One of my bad life experiences was getting bullied in school. There was this group of kids who would constantly tease me about my appearance. They would call me names and make fun of my clothes. It made me feel really self - conscious and I started to dread going to school every day. I often skipped classes just to avoid them.
There are several bad experiences with Rug Doctor. A common one is that the brushes on the machine wear out quickly. When this happens, the cleaning efficiency drops significantly. In addition, some Rug Doctor machines had issues with the water tank. It would either not fill properly or leak during the cleaning process. One user had a Rug Doctor that left streaks on their carpet. No matter how many times they went over the same area, the streaks remained. This made the carpet look worse than before the cleaning. Also, the noise level of the Rug Doctor can be quite high, which can be really annoying, especially if you are trying to clean while others are in the house.
A lot of times, the psychological impact is overlooked. I know a place where during a drill, a young girl was so frightened that she wet herself. She was so embarrassed and traumatized by the experience. And this is just one example of how these drills can have a really negative emotional impact on people, especially children. These drills need to be more carefully planned to avoid such situations.
Sure. For example, a mother was supposed to go out for a nice dinner with her family on Mother's Day. But her car broke down on the way to the restaurant. They had to wait for hours for a tow truck and finally just went home. It was a really frustrating day for her.
I don't have a specific 'bad therapy true story' at hand. But generally, in a bad therapy situation, there might be issues like the therapist being unprofessional. For example, not respecting the client's boundaries, constantly interrupting the client while they are sharing their problems.
