"Wrong? But I'm NEVER wrong!"
We had a disagreement once at work how you were supposed to use a particular bit of software. Basically, it was a planning widget where you typed a few numbers in, clicked a few boxes to answer questions, and it did some maths and told you the likely return-on-investment for a job. All very simple and boring and straightforward. However, my boss had decided to use it for something it clearly wasn’t designed for, namely forecasting a whole separate set of figures.

I told her this was wrong. She told me to shut up. Her boss, who’d over heard, came over and told her she was wrong. She told him to shut up, which resulted in them going off to a meeting room to shout at each other. Eventually, to settle the argument, we spoke to our head of research and systems, who also said she was wrong, with similarly little effect. At this point, it was all getting a bit ridiculous, so I decided to get a definitive answer by picking up the phone and calling the person who actually designed the software, who promptly confirmed that she was indeed using it in a totally invalid way that would just produce gobbledegook.

She told him he didn’t know what he was talking about…
