In an online forum, a woman shared her story. She had met a man on a dating site. He seemed perfect. But as they talked more, he began to talk about his 'dark fantasies' which involved violence. She quickly cut off all contact, but it was still a very scary experience for her.
One horror story I heard was about a girl who was chatting with someone online. The person seemed friendly at first. But then, they started asking really creepy questions like her daily routine in detail. Later, she found out that the person was trying to find out when she would be alone at home. It was really terrifying.
One story I heard was about a couple who met through an online arranged marriage platform. Their families had set up profiles for them. At first, they were just chatting out of obligation. But as they got to know each other more, they found common interests in books and movies. Eventually, they fell in love and are now happily married.
I heard a TG transform horror story where a person wished to transform into a beautiful creature through some magic. But the magic was cursed. As the transformation started, their skin started to peel off in chunks, and new, scaly skin grew in its place. Their eyes bulged out, and they grew extra limbs that they couldn't control. It was a nightmare as they were trapped in that form, unable to reverse the process.
A drug addict parent might neglect their children's basic needs. For instance, they could forget to pick their kids up from school because they are too high or busy getting drugs. This leaves the children feeling abandoned and confused. In addition, there could be instances where the parent is so out of it that they expose the children to dangerous situations, like having drug - using friends over who might be a threat to the kids.
I once missed a flight because the traffic on the way to the airport was insane. I left home with what I thought was plenty of time, but there was an accident on the highway. By the time I got to the airport, the plane had already left. It was a nightmare as I had to pay a hefty fee to reschedule my flight and also lost a day of my vacation.
In a workplace I knew, there was a case of bullying. A worker was constantly harassed by his supervisor. The supervisor gave him impossible tasks and then publicly shamed him when he couldn't complete them. This led to the worker having severe anxiety and his performance deteriorated rapidly. It was a really sad situation as he was a hard - working person initially.
One horror story is when a homeowner built a small shed in their backyard without a permit. Later, when they were selling their house, the inspector noticed it. They had to either pay a hefty fine to get it legalized or tear it down, which was a big financial loss.
One horror story I have is when a contractor promised to finish a kitchen renovation in two weeks. After two weeks, only half of the cabinets were installed. They kept giving excuses like supply issues but it turned out they took on too many projects at once. We had to live without a functioning kitchen for months in the end.
There was a babysitter who went to a new family's house. The moment she entered, she had a really bad feeling. As the night went on, the power started flickering. The kids were getting scared. Then she saw a shadowy figure pass by the window. She quickly grabbed the kids, locked themselves in a room, and called the police. It turned out to be a burglar who was casing the house, but it was a terrifying experience for the babysitter.
There was this one instance at a museum. I was standing near an exhibit, looking at it intently. A family walked up and the mother asked me if I could explain the significance of the piece. I politely said I was just a visitor. But she gave me this look like she thought I was lying. It made me feel so awkward. I guess it's because I was standing still and looking like I was knowledgeable. However, it really put a damper on my day as I then felt self - conscious about just being in the museum.
One horror story I've heard was a client who kept changing their mind about the nail design. First, they wanted a simple French manicure, then added a bunch of intricate details like tiny flowers and gems. After the nails were done, they complained that it was too flashy and demanded a redo for free. It was really frustrating for the nail technician as a lot of time and materials had been wasted.
