 You have no idea
Every now and then I have a client who insists that there is a road in a certain location. I know there isn't. But, since they're so insistent that they want that road on the map, I put it on (after I voice my reservations). They do pay the bills, after all.
Their poor field crews.
All of our maps have a disclaimer at the bottom.

Yup, really. I had a client want it done today: some suit on the other end of a phone. It's all oil and gas exploration, and it is the survey crews who get these maps.
I have my own hypothesis as to why this occasionally gets done, but I'll keep that to myself lest I be accused of "libel."

Spent 30 years operating a gas plant, farming crops and cattle, raising 4 kids, volunteer fireman for 8 years.
Semi-retired now, I teach part time for NAIT in one of their OCT programs and farm crops, sold the cows. If I never see another gas plant or wellhead I'll die a happy man. My better half is a cabinet maker and furniture maker and we were in the process of pouring a shop floor for her new shop. The plan was I would farm in the summer and be her "boy Friday" in the off season but I did myself an injury so everything ground to a halt until spring. I just got out of my cast y-day and start physio tommorow. 
No complaints, at least I had my chance.
I used to think that someday everybody would catch on to the "Boom - Bust - Boom - Bust" cycle here in Alberta. I've only seen it THREE times in my life.
Keep Your Powder Dry,
Dave.

Funny, most of the maps that I get for finding a lease are on toilet paper, cigarette packs, match boxes, towels, etc. I wish these guys would hire you more often.

Electrician, aka sparky to the other trades. Slowed down a bit from a couple years ago, just meaning the dead weight has been removed. By the looks of things we will be very busy in 2010 again.
