What are the main problems in a 'boilerplate horror story'?

Well, in a corporate setting for document creation, there's a boilerplate horror story. The company has a standard boilerplate for contracts. But over time, different departments made small, unapproved changes to their local copies. When a big deal came up and the legal department tried to use the boilerplate, they found all these inconsistent versions. It led to a lot of confusion and nearly cost the company the deal.

Cost overruns are very common. Contractors might find unexpected issues like hidden structural damage that adds a lot to the cost. Another problem is shoddy workmanship. Workers might cut corners, like not properly sealing joints or installing things unevenly.

Flight cancellations without proper alternatives are common. Like they just cancel and leave you stranded.

Some well - known boilerplate fiction books include 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It's a classic that has a very standard plot structure for its time with themes of love and social class. Another could be 'The Great Gatsby' which has a common narrative of a man's pursuit of a woman within the context of a particular social setting.

Unauthorized charges are common. Like when someone steals your card details and uses your card.

Well, in self - waxing horror stories, often the wax is not the right temperature. If it's too hot, it can burn the skin, and if it's too cold, it won't stick. Also, people sometimes use the wrong type of wax for their skin type, which can cause irritation. And, of course, there's the inexperience factor. People might not know how to hold the skin taut or pull the strip correctly, resulting in a very painful and ineffective waxing session.

In car loan horror stories, a frequent problem is the balloon payment. This is a large payment due at the end of the loan term that borrowers may not be fully aware of when they take out the loan. Additionally, some lenders might not report payments accurately to the credit bureaus, which can damage the borrower's credit score. There can also be issues with the collateral, like the lender having the right to take the car even if the borrower has made most of the payments but is a bit behind on the last few.

One common problem is bad management. Like in my case, they don't communicate clearly and blame workers for no reason.

In many contractor horror stories, there are issues with miscommunication. The contractor might not understand your vision clearly, so they end up doing the work all wrong. Also, some contractors overcharge for extra work that may or may not be necessary. They see an opportunity to make more money off of you, like adding unnecessary repairs or upgrades.

One common problem is the installer being late. It's really annoying when you have to wait for hours. Another problem could be wrong equipment. If the installer doesn't have all the right parts, it can cause a lot of delays.
