I think everyone has a run-in with a manager they loathe.

When I was in the Army, we had a Sergeant that everyone hated. So without any planning or organization, we had him running pointlessly around the base we were on for hours (was deployed to Kosovo at the time). What set it off was him going around demanding why nobody had given him the coolant samples on the M88 and AVLB vehicles (these are massive tank like vehicles). Everyone knew those vehicles had air cooled engines and nobody wanted to tell him. So everyone unknowingly played along in the payback of sending him off to see someone else to get the samples. It was beautiful.

My current boss is cool though. We are always working together on projects and get along very well.
