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

« Go Back

Way back in the Seventies
In the late 70's ie before the internet, ordering concert tickets involved sending a cheque in an envelope off to the ticket office.

Saw a gig advertised, as it was the late 70's so it was probably a band of poodle haired, spandex clad rockers (like the Nolans) and waited for the tickets by return mail.

Over a week later a letter arrived with a second class stamp on it informing me that as I didn't enclose a stamped, addressed envelope they couldn't reply to me.

They surely had a point but as the letter was sent back and they paid to post it.....
