god, every single day. but for sheer meanness, and one i can talk about, this one was bad, i thoughtmy sister-in-law's case didn't turn up when we went on holiday one year, and she had to spend a couple of hundred quid buying clothes and things for a week, because that was the earliest the airline could drop the case off. she wanted to claim on her holiday insurance when she got back, but they told her she needed the credit card statement.
so she waited for it to arrive, and then sent it off. the insurer then refused the claim.
because she was 1 day over the time limit for claiming.

We are going through a programme of upgrading some accountancy software for loads of our customersShe INSISTED on project managing it all and has fucked up twice in two weeks now by booking in upgrades into our calendars without first making sure the sites have OKed it. I tried ringing the customer who had an upgrade booked in for today to be told they didn't want it yet. She also forgot to tell them it costs more consultancy to also migrate them to a new server.
Result is that customer went mental at them for both things, her ringing me on the way home to try and smooth the waters, and me having no work to do for today and tomorrow now!
