This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Worth the hassle just for one moment
We moved house, and had some internets connected. But they weren't working very well, so after a couple of weeks of being on hold then trying to explain that we couldn't check the website for the service status in our area BECAUSE OUR INTERNET WASN'T WORKING, they finally agreed to send an engineer round.

So he turns up, and after testing and grudgingly admitting that it was, in fact, borked, went outside to prod around in the cable box. After a few minutes he returned, with a cheery "Blimey, it's a total mess in there. What idiot installed that, then?"

To which I gleefully answered "You did."
