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

We had a twunt neighbor when we first moved in
It was a newly built flat and we were not getting our mail. Turns out that quite a lot of my mail got misdirected. 301 became 310, and Mr. 310 was rarely home. I left him a note as soon as the carrier notified us, as our doors are directly across the corridor from each other, and did he trundle over and tap at my door to drop off the mail? No, he returned the whole lot to the senders, and several weeks went by before I stopped getting the misdirected/returned/resent properly mail.

Years later and I still can barely stand the sight of him. When an agent was showing a potential buyer his place, I managed to fill them in on all the repairs they should check on, including a tendency for his empty flat to spring expensive leaks from all the dried seals (according to the neighbor directly below him). Glad to be shot of him and glad to help out what seems to be a nice new neighbor.
