At a Chinese buffet, the service was horrible. The waiters were so slow in cleaning the tables. There were used plates everywhere. Also, some of the hot dishes were cold as if they had been left out for a long time without being heated up properly. It was a really bad experience.
I visited a Chinese buffet where the 'seafood' smelled really off. It seemed like it had been sitting there for days. I think they didn't handle the food storage properly. And the variety of dishes was also very limited, not at all like what was advertised.
Once I went to a Chinese buffet and found a hair in the fried rice. It was so disgusting that I lost my appetite immediately.
One time at an all you can eat buffet, I saw a person piling food so high on their plate that it was spilling over. Then, they took a few bites and left the rest. It was such a waste and made me feel really uncomfortable as there were others waiting for the food.
Food quality issues are common. For example, finding bugs or foreign objects in the food.
I have a story about an all you can eat buffet at a hotel. They had a huge variety of food, from international cuisines to local favorites. The dessert section was to die for. There were cakes, puddings, and fresh fruits. I made sure to save room for dessert and sampled almost everything. It was a real treat for my taste buds.
There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.
One of my homework horror stories was when I had to write a 20 - page research paper in a week. I was so stressed out. I had to sacrifice my sleep and free time just to gather enough information and write it. It felt like an impossible task at first, but somehow I managed to finish it just in time.
One of my hospitality horror stories was when I checked into a hotel and found hair all over the bedsheets. It was so disgusting. I immediately asked for a room change, but the staff was very unresponsive at first.
One of my sublease horror stories was when the subletter completely trashed the place. They left garbage everywhere, and there were stains on the carpets and walls. It took a lot of money and effort to clean up after them.
Well, one horror story could be the overcrowding. There were so many people that it was hard to move around and enjoy the exhibits. It felt like being in a sardine can.
One of my admissions horror stories was when I applied to a very competitive university. I sent in all my documents on time, but they claimed they never received my transcript. I had to go through a lot of hassle with my high school registrar to get another copy sent, and in the end, it was found that the university had misfiled it. It was extremely stressful as I thought my application would be rejected just because of their mistake.
I once had a recruiting experience where the company advertised a certain position with a great salary and benefits. However, when I got to the final round of interviews, they suddenly changed the job description completely. It was like they were trying to trick people into applying for a different job. They expected me to be okay with the new demands which were far from what was initially advertised. I declined the offer in the end.
