Share some personal assistant horror stories.

My personal assistant once misinterpreted my command to play some 'relaxing music' as 'waxing music'. It started giving me information about hair removal salons. I couldn't stop laughing at how wrong it was.

Technical glitches are also quite common. Sometimes they stop working suddenly or start doing things they're not supposed to, like turning on all the smart home devices at once for no reason. It can be really frustrating and a bit scary when you don't know what's going on. Well, also, there are cases where they can be used for malicious purposes if hacked. Hackers can use the personal assistant to spy on you or steal your identity.

I heard about a production assistant on a horror movie set. They were responsible for making sure all the special effects equipment was set up correctly for a particular scene. But they overlooked a crucial cable connection. When the scene was about to be filmed, the special effects didn't work at all. The scene was supposed to be a really scary moment with a lot of build - up, but it ended up looking really lame. The director was so disappointed and had to re - plan the whole scene, which was not easy as they had a tight schedule and a limited budget.

There was an assistant in Hollywood who was helping with the promotion of a horror movie. They had to spend a lot of time in a small, dimly lit office looking at promotional materials that were filled with disturbing images from the movie. One night, while working late, they started to feel like they were being watched. They turned around and thought they saw a shadowy figure in the corner. But when they turned on more lights, there was nothing there. However, from that night on, they always felt an eerie presence whenever they were in that office.

One horror story is when a medical assistant misread a patient's chart and almost administered the wrong medication. Luckily, another staff member double - checked at the last minute. It was a terrifying situation as that wrong drug could have had serious, even life - threatening consequences for the patient.

One horror story is when a dental assistant accidentally dropped a dental tool on a patient's tongue during a procedure. The patient was in a lot of pain and there was some bleeding. It was a very scary moment for both the patient and the dental assistant.

Overwork is a common element. Assistants often have to work long hours with no breaks. Another is disrespect. Celebs might treat their assistants like servants rather than professionals.

One horror story is when a friend took out multiple high - interest payday loans. He thought he could pay them off quickly but ended up in a cycle of borrowing more just to pay the fees. His debt grew exponentially and he received constant threatening calls from lenders.

One horror story is when a nursing assistant was overworked and made a medication error. A patient was given the wrong dose, which led to serious complications. It was a chaotic shift with too many patients and not enough time to double - check everything.

There was a case where an executive assistant misread the schedule and booked the CEO for two important meetings at the same time in different locations. The CEO ended up missing one important deal - signing session which cost the company a great business opportunity. It was a nightmare for both the assistant and the company.
