We do a move, we've got five unlabelled boxes. I'm in the next day for post move, woman complains about five missing boxes. After the mandatory "I did label my boxes" argument, I bring these over to her. She thinks they could be hers so I cut the tie downs and open the first one up. With an "I told you so" sneer, she says "these are mine, see the label right there". I look on the lid, I look on the sides, I even check the bottom... no label.... "ummmm, where?" She lifts the lid again and practically throws it in my face and I see the label. She had placed it on the inside of the lid 
Me: That's not where you're supposed to put a label.
SC: Ummm no, that is where a label goes. Why else would there be this square there.
Me: That's just where all the support pieces meet.
SC: What? It's the perfect size for your labels, obviously it's made for them.
Me: Okay, well your move instructions clearly stated to put them on the side. On top of that, we are strictly forbiden to open any box, we can be fired on the spot just for peaking in. AND on top of that, the box was sealed with cable ties, we couldn't take a peak even if we wanted to.
SC: I thought they should go inside so they don't get ripped off.
Me: And how were we supposed to see them?
SC: You could cut the ties them put new ones on.
Me: Yeah, sure, nevermind.
I mean, when someone tells you that you didn't follow your instructions... bang, you're wrong. Nope, she knows better. Okay, here's further evidence that you're an idiot. Nope, she still knows better. I just cut the argument off because just being in her presense was making me dumber by the second.
