Had an Excel spreadsheet full of comments to review before a meeting.
Was warned it would take a long time.
Pleasantly surprised to find there were only 30 or so rows and it only took me half an hour.
Pinged it back to the PM in time for this morning's meeting.
5 minutes later, an irate call - "I thought you said you'd done this? You've only answered 30 questions, what about the other 400 rows?"
Excel has (to me, at least) a very annoying feature whereby it saves its scroll state so when I opened the file and started on what I thought was row 1 I was, in fact, on row 400 or so because it had been saved whilst scrolled nearly all the to the bottom.
And I hate to say it but its not the first time either.
