One place I worked was going through a lot of workflow improvements, and was pretty good at keeping the documents up to spec, but... sometimes the document updated had a very strange idea of how linear time works, with notes *after* defunct sections.
The worst was one where step 34 was "steps 7-33 have been automated and no longer need to be performed". It wasn't even highlighted, so it was easy to miss if you checked the docs before starting.
Took over an hour to do those steps, too, so while I was glad to not need to do them again next quarter, it stung a bit to have wasted the time.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
