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

About 145 moons ago, i worked for a security firm. I was posted to guard the rear yard of the ASDA SUPERMARKET in STOCKPORT. Not much to do but pretend to look vigilant when the gates were opened for the big delivery trucks dropping off stock. Other than that, i'd sit out of the way in the corner shed with a telly.
The yard foreman was a dick for trying to make ME do his work, sweeping up the skanky place etc.. (Not in my job description, even the Asda night monger - i mean manager - was at it (he was quickly told to "FUCK OFF!").. Over the two weeks i worked there, i reported all the crap i got from these twats to control every night, soon the contract was terminated and i had it cushy elsewhere.
One night before then, when the delivery truck was in, the yard-arse was doing his usual F1 driving in his forklift whilst unloading a full pallet of meat. He over did the turn and sent the meat crshing down everywhere. Onto the floor, splitiing the packaging and into the puddles of oil and the stream of way-past sell-by-date, rotten food and blood that leaked from the rusted waste-produce skips.
The night monger then told him to pick it all back up so they can repack it in the warehouse..
I never shopped there before and will certainly NEVER shop there - EVER!

If I hadn't been veggie anyway I'd have certainly shopped elsewhere

ASDA SUPERMARKET and I don't live in STOCKPORT. This unnecessary capitalisation, however, is CONTAGIOUS.

There's too much hiding of company names going on with this QotW!
