One horror story is when a student's paper got flagged for plagiarism even though they had just used common phrases. Turnitin misinterpreted it and the student had to go through a long process of proving their innocence.
There was a case where a student submitted an original research paper. However, Turnitin flagged it as having a high similarity to some other works. It turned out that there were some common research methods and terminologies that were causing the false alarm. The student almost got penalized for something they didn't do wrong and had to spend hours comparing the flagged parts with their original research to show the differences.
The most common one is false positives. Like when students use templates for formatting or common academic language, Turnitin might mark it as plagiarism.
