You can't beat when the tough lesson is that someone in authority over you can and will be unreasonable just because they can.That's great!
I knew somebody in college who had an interview in Boston. After traveling at his own expense there the night before and staying in a hotel room, he got up early and took a taxi to the interview... only to get stuck in traffic. He got to the building right at 8am, and rushed up to the floor where the interview was, arriving at the office a few minutes later.
When they called him in for the interview, the interviewing manager asked him if he knew that he was late to the interview. My friend acknowledged that he was and apologized, the guy told him thanks for coming in and ended the interview. Tough lesson for a soon-to-be-college graduate.
Always got a kick out of that.
I'm sure there isn't a single professional in Boston that's ever been minutes late to an important meeting because of traffic.
