Another horror story is dealing with a really bad internet connection during online classes or while doing research for a study project. You might be in the middle of an important lecture and suddenly the video freezes or the audio cuts out, and you miss crucial information. It can be extremely frustrating and set you back in your studies. Also, having a noisy neighborhood can be part of a home study horror story. If there are constant construction noises or loud parties nearby, it's like trying to study in a war zone.
Sure. One typical horror story is when your computer crashes right in the middle of writing a long and important paper. All your unsaved work is gone, and you have to start all over again. It's a nightmare especially when you're short on time.
There was a case where a roof leak occurred. The home warranty firm sent a roofer who did a shoddy repair job. The leak came back worse a few weeks later. When the homeowner complained, the home warranty company said they wouldn't cover it again as it was considered the same issue, leaving the homeowner to deal with costly repairs on their own.
One horror story could be about a modular home with faulty wiring. The new owners moved in and constantly faced electrical problems like short - circuits and flickering lights. It was a nightmare as they feared a potential fire hazard all the time.
In some care homes, there have been reports of abuse. For example, caregivers shouting at and intimidating residents. I heard of a particular care home where the management was more concerned about cutting costs than providing proper care. They served sub - standard food, and there were not enough medical supplies for the residents who had various health conditions.
There was a case where the home builder misread the building plans. They built a room smaller than it was supposed to be. When the homeowners pointed it out, the builder tried to convince them that it was the correct size. It took a long legal battle to get them to either correct it or compensate the homeowners for the loss in value.
One horror story could be when people swapped homes and found out the other place was infested with pests. They had to deal with cockroaches everywhere and it was a nightmare.
One horror story could be when a seller found out that the buyer backed out at the last minute without any valid reason, leaving the seller with all the costs of preparing the house for sale and having to start the process all over again. It was a huge financial and emotional setback.
One common horror story is finding hidden structural issues. For example, a cracked foundation that the seller didn't disclose. It can cost thousands to repair.
One of my home buying horror stories was when we found out that the house had a major mold problem after we signed the contract. The previous owner had hidden it really well. We ended up having to spend a fortune on mold remediation.
