I pick on Architects all the time when I see them specify "flour scent" lighting. I even had a fantastically good laugh when the building's owner wanted 3400 degree lamps; and the Architette (yes, blonde) asked if we needed more air conditioning if the lights were going to be that hot.

But it's not just our humble trade...my sister (the nurse) told me of another stupid design decision.

A patient came in with a heart-related issue and was diagnosed with "end of life".

It seems that the battery was wearing out in their pacemaker and some ^$&(% idiot decided that "low battery" wasn't what he wanted the diagnostic readout screen to say.
