Why, oh why, is the annoying, grumpy, makes-me-do-every-little-bit-of-paperwork-perfectly customer person, the one person who can't manage complete half the form I send him? I sent a partially filled out form, with *2*, count 'em, *2* columns of information to fill in. He did one out of two. The other was empty. And it took 3 weeks to recieve this half-assed attempt. The other, similar person got me back the data in 1 week, and it was perfectly filled out, with clarifications where the data I had provided no longer intersected with reality.
I, of course, realize this a week before I leave my project, as I FINALLY (after a month) get a chance to actually use this data to create something, well, useful... So I now have to mail the customer, and ask (AGAIN) for the data. And I know, I just know, that I will be met with more whining, more complaining, and more questions that are beyond my (and my company's) control to answer.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the human race.

The character of Randal in the film Clerks said it best
