Corporate IdiocyComedian 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

My street has residents parking, so you need a permitI don't own a car, but occasionally rent one, so was interested to see that the council did short term ones for rental cars.
I got a form to apply for some, but I never got any further:
You need to supply the number plate. Before you rent the car. I wonder if anyone has *ever* bought any?

I used to get these. You go rent the car, and stop in the council on the way home to pick up a temporary permit.
I don't see the problem really.

When I moved into a new house I was renting I called the council to get a permit'Do you have proof of residency?'
"Well not yet, I'm signing the forms the day I'm moving in as I'm coming from about 200 miles away.'
'Oh well you can't get a permit until we see proof of residency'
'But I can't do that until I've moved in and I need to park the car before that'.
