Well, our new build had a problem with the foundation. Cracks started to appear not long after we moved in. Turns out, the construction company didn't do proper soil testing before building. It was a huge headache as we had to get experts in to assess the situation and figure out how to fix it. We were worried the whole house might collapse if not dealt with properly.
One new build horror story is about a family who moved into a newly constructed house. They constantly heard strange noises at night, like footsteps on the stairs when everyone was in bed. It turned out that the builders had left some construction tools in the walls, and as the house settled, they were shifting around.
Well, on my first day at a new job, I got lost in the huge office building. I was wandering around for nearly an hour trying to find my department. It was so embarrassing as people kept asking if I needed help. I just wanted to make a good first impression, but instead, I looked like a clueless newbie.
One horror story I heard was about an adult at work who constantly undermined a new colleague. He would spread false rumors about her work ethic and made her feel so isolated that she almost quit. It was a form of bullying that affected her mental health greatly.
One of my worst period cramps horror stories was when I was in the middle of an important exam. The cramps hit me suddenly and it felt like my abdomen was being stabbed repeatedly. I could barely concentrate on the questions and ended up having a really poor performance. It was so frustrating because I had studied hard but my body just wouldn't cooperate that day.
One of the worst poop horror stories I've heard was from a friend who was traveling. He had eaten some really bad street food and suddenly got an urgent need to go. But the public restroom he found was so dirty and smelly that he almost threw up while trying to use it. He said it was the most disgusting and difficult poop experience he ever had.
One horror story I heard was when the best man lost the wedding rings right before the ceremony. He had put them in a 'safe' place which he then couldn't remember. There was chaos as everyone searched for the rings and the ceremony was delayed.
I had a conch piercing horror myself. I got it done at a cheap place. The equipment didn't seem very clean. A few days later, I noticed a strange smell and the area was really hot to the touch. It was an infection. I had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics. It was a nightmare.
Well, my brother - in - law is a really messy person. He would always come over to our house unannounced and make a mess everywhere. He'd leave dirty dishes, his clothes strewn around, and never clean up after himself. It was so frustrating that it almost made me not want to be at home when he was around.
One of my migraine workplace horror stories was during a really important meeting. I could feel a migraine coming on, the throbbing in my temples starting. But I had to present. As I started talking, the pain got worse. I struggled to focus on my slides, and I'm sure my presentation was a mess. My colleagues probably thought I was just unprepared.
I once had a vacation horror story on a cruise. There was a norovirus outbreak. People were getting sick everywhere. The smell was awful, and the ship was constantly being cleaned. But it was really difficult to enjoy the vacation with so many ill passengers. It made me feel so uneasy and I couldn't wait to get off the ship.
