I’ve heard similar stories regarding developers and IT Services
Where the devs weren’t allowed access to the Production environment so would have to leave written instructions on how to deploy the software they’ve written. And convinced that IT Services weren’t reading their instructions they would write something really offensive in there and see if they complained
I remember having to do this. And if you left out one single instruction, the whole thing had to be done again from scratch. The power-trippers would say 'it doesn't say here to click on the 'finish' button. You must re-do the entire document and go through QA again.
Ugh. Thankfully we live in a world where multiple deployments per day is considered OK.

Possibly just a myth, but amusing all the same
