My favorite is when conflicting estimates are asked for, then BOTH taken as promises. Manager ADD

Manager: "How quick can you get this done?"

MFer: "3months (assuming price is no object)"

Two weeks pass...

Manager: "Our budgets changed. How much $$ can we trim out of this project?"

MFer: "We can cut it in half, but that will triple our timeline."

Manager: "cut in half! Great!"

3months pass:

Manager: "Hey why are we behind? The big guys want an explanation why you aren't meeting your targets!"
