I once signed up to participate in a study on how depression affects memory, forgot I was meant to go do it, and when I emailed to apologise to the PhD student running it she basically told me that a) she was very used to this happening and b) the weird irony of her theories’ correctness making it very difficult to arrange proving them had by now gone from infuriating to hysterical
I will never forget the time I worked at Panera and charged a woman an extra 10 cents for getting her coffee in a mug rather than a small cup (that was our rule at the time) and a week later she stormed in and said, “So I called your corporate offices to get you fired for overcharging me for coffee, and do you know what they said? They said you were following company policy! They refused to do anything about it! Can you believe how rude they were to me?”
