Well, there was a time when a cleaning service was hired for an office. They unplugged all the computers to clean around them but then forgot to plug them back in properly. When the employees came in the next day, a lot of important data was lost because some of the hard drives got corrupted. Also, some cleaning services have been known to bring in their own unruly children while working, and those kids made a mess of the client's personal belongings. Another horror story is that a cleaning crew once used a dirty mop on a white carpet, leaving it stained beyond repair.
The most common one is probably poor quality of cleaning. For example, they might just wipe the surfaces quickly without really getting rid of the dirt. Another is when cleaners are not trustworthy and steal things. It's also common to hear about cleaners being late or not showing up at all for the scheduled cleaning.
It's possible that there were unexplained noises or events during the cleaning. The cleaners might have been using strange cleaning products that had a really strong and noxious smell that made people feel ill at ease. And then there could have been things disappearing from the house while they were cleaning, but it was hard to prove they were responsible.
There was a person who got some earwax - removing drops and overused them. The drops made the wax very soft and gooey. When they tried to clean it out with a cotton swab, it just spread the wax all over the inside of the ear canal. It was a mess and they couldn't hear clearly for a while. Also, a person once had a small insect fly into their ear. Instead of going to the doctor right away, they tried to get it out themselves by poking around with a toothpick. They ended up hurting their ear even more and the insect was still stuck there until they finally went to the doctor.
A common horror story is when the self - cleaning function starts a small fire inside the oven. This can happen if there are food particles stuck in hard - to - reach places. The heat during the self - cleaning cycle can ignite these particles. I also know of a case where the self - cleaning cycle made the oven's enamel coating peel off. It not only looked bad but also made the oven less effective at cooking evenly. And in some situations, the self - cleaning process can be so noisy that it sounds like the oven is about to break down, which is really scary for the owner.
Another is experiencing paranormal activities. Like hearing voices or footsteps when no one else should be in the house. This often makes the cleaning lady feel like she's not alone and scares her. Also, encountering creepy or disturbing objects, such as old portraits with strange expressions or antique items with a spooky history.
Sure. One story is about a cleaning lady who found strange symbols drawn on the walls in a client's house. She thought it was just kids' prank at first. But later, things started to disappear in the house, like small items and even some of her cleaning tools. It really freaked her out.
One time I went to a restaurant and found a hair in my soup. It was so disgusting. I immediately called the waiter, but they just offered to replace the soup without any real apology. It really put me off the whole dining experience.
There are horror stories about living conditions in some military barracks. Rats running around, unhygienic bathrooms, and moldy beds. It's not only uncomfortable but also a health hazard. Imagine trying to rest and recover after a tough day of training in such an environment. It can really take a toll on a soldier's mental and physical well - being.
I once had an experience at a clothing store. I bought a shirt with a defect. When I went back to return it, the customer service person accused me of causing the damage myself. They were so dismissive and refused to give me a refund or an exchange. It was really frustrating as I had just bought the item and it was clearly a manufacturing issue. I ended up leaving the store very angry and never going back there again.
