Rate My Job Horror Stories: What Are Some of the Worst Experiences People Have Had at Work?

One horror story could be improper sterilization of the skin needling tools. This can lead to serious infections. I heard of a case where a person got a staph infection after skin needling at an unlicensed place. The skin became red, swollen, and extremely painful, and it took a long time to heal with the help of strong antibiotics.

One horror story is when a general contractor took a large deposit and then disappeared without doing any work. The homeowner was left with a big financial loss and had to start the search for a new contractor all over again.

One of the worst experiences I've heard was a person who thought they had enough in their account. They made a small purchase of just a few dollars but due to some pending transactions they weren't aware of, they got hit with an overdraft fee of $35. And it didn't stop there. Because of that initial fee, it put their account further into the negative and every subsequent small transaction over the next few days led to more $35 fees, totaling over $200 in fees in just a week.

Well, many people have horror stories regarding payday loans. Some found themselves in a cycle of debt. They took out a payday loan to cover an emergency expense, but then couldn't pay it back on time. So they had to take out another loan to pay off the first one, and it just kept spiraling. Also, there are cases where the terms were not clearly explained at the time of borrowing. The borrowers were not aware of all the fees and ended up in financial trouble.

One horror story is when an agent lied about the property's condition. They said there was no water damage, but after moving in, the new owners found a major leak in the basement. It cost them a fortune to fix.

One horror story was when the power went out while I was babysitting. The kids were already a bit scared of the dark, and it was a struggle to keep them calm. I had to find candles and flashlights in the dark while they were clinging to me and crying. It was a very chaotic and nerve - wracking situation.

I once babysat for a family and the baby had a really bad diaper rash. But the parents hadn't told me about it before leaving. When I tried to change the diaper, the baby was in so much pain and started crying hysterically. It was really difficult to calm the baby down and deal with the situation without proper instructions from the parents.

A horror story I have is when the boss during the interview kept interrupting me. I couldn't even finish a sentence without him cutting in. It made it really hard for me to get my points across. I think it showed his lack of respect for others' opinions and communication. Needless to say, I didn't pursue the job any further.

One horror story was when the boss started the interview by asking really inappropriate personal questions. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable right from the start. I was so put off that I just wanted the interview to end as soon as possible. There was no way I would have wanted to work for someone who didn't respect boundaries during an interview.

I work in a coffee shop. One day, a customer asked for a 'latte with a side of unicorn magic'. Our barista, not skipping a beat, told the customer that the unicorn magic was on backorder. The customer seemed to be in on the joke and started laughing. It was so funny. I rate this story a 7. It was a simple but great moment that brightened up the day.
