Naturally, we had the last laugh...Our boss, the Fat Controller, was an arse. One of those who thought "I'm your boss, so naturally I'm a better engineer than you.". He would also drive his car (a Jaguar, naturally) when so drunk it took him several goes, with one eye closed and his tongue hanging out, to locate the keyhole.
He once rejected part of our product proposal as being too expensive and not necessary. Despite our protests, he stuck with it, and the feature was removed from the spec.
Wavy lines to six months later, when he goes ballistic and demands to know why that exact feature wasn't available on the product. We took great delight in referring him to the memo where he himself categorically refused to allow us to implement it, and our explanations as to why it was needed. He never mentioned the feature again.
