So many occasions to choose from! Probably the most pissed I've been is when I'd been assigned to work on (and completed fixes for) the same bug as another developer twice in the same week after already having spent 4 days working on a new enhancement that's requirements changed literally an hour after I'd saved the code!

Boss:"Build templates that convert our 1000+ pages built for desktop, into responsive ones that work on large screen and phones. "
Finished...Run the company's code scanner and it reports violations of development rules (which was expected)
I go to request exemptions....

PM+UX: The boxes must stretch to fill the all the available width with no spaces in between, they must wrap to the next line, be 200px wide...sometimes.... and there should be no scroll bars all at the same time.
Me:so you want magic boxes that can just do whatever your thinking with no real logic defined...?1 -
Being forced to rush code, then waiting for merge approval from your US based approver at 3am while they add comments to the review complaining variables aren't final.
