My cubicle at my last job was surrounded by a mountain of expensive printers because they would loose some funding if they didn't spend all of their budget each year.

If we ordered a server it would show up in 6 to 12 months and sometimes would be sent to the wrong place. The people in charge of ordering would replace SSDs with spinning disk and we wouldn't know about the change until the wrong parts arrive months later. Fun times.
