Share some bureaucracy horror stories.
One horror story is dealing with a government office for a simple permit. I had to fill out countless forms, all with the same information but in slightly different formats.

A company I worked for had to deal with a regulatory bureaucracy. There were so many rules and regulations that were unclear. We hired a consultant just to try and figure it all out. We ended up spending a fortune on compliance, and it still took ages to get approval for a new product launch. It was a real horror story of red tape.
