Hidoi me (ひどい目) and ii me (いい目) both originally meant how good or bad the turn of the dice is. Spots on the dice is 目 or eyes in Japanese.
Expressions such as below refer to either good or bad happenstances.
ひどい目／いい目を見る (-o miru)
に会う (-ni au)
が出る。 (-ga deru)

ひどい目／いい目を見る (-o miru)

が出る。 (-ga deru)
Figurative usage of "いい目が出る," is not at all unheard of in my neck of the woods.

What in western cultures is face, in Japan is me (eye).
eg, people with kind faces would be yasashii me no hito
so:
Shinjuku eki de hidoi me ni atta no desu.
shinjuku station at terrible/awful/unfriendly eyes to meet sustantivating-the-verbmeet copula-verb
He met people with unfriendly eyes (faces) at the Shinjuku station. ie: It wasn't a friendly enviroment, or whatever.
So he's talking about how he/she perceived the people that happened to be at Shinjuku station.

yes, and thanks for underlining, SpiceMan: as the first post
was written in romaji, I hadn't noticed (neither did I in the
Flaminius' one) that 会う/au, (meet).

Yes, futaro, it's "experience." Its original meaning is, as Flaminius has written, "spots （目）on a dice." When we say 今日ひどいめに会った, one doesn't associate め with eyes, but rather spots on a dice. Even if め in the sense of "spots on a dice" derives from "eyes", nobody think it that way when breaking down the said sentence.
