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

Probably not corporate idiocy, rather personal stupidityon the part of our IT department.
I couldn't send .mdb files over email without them being blocked as potentially malicious files. I had a new laptop and couldn't install anything without an administrator password. I called IT to install something free like 7zip, as Windows Compressed Folders wouldn't work either.
"Don't worry about installing anything like that; just email me the .mdb, I'll zip it and email it back to you" quoth the computer science graduate. The earnest way he said it made me quite sure he wasn't taking the piss.
