I work at a place where we make our own muffins every morning and the way it goes is that the baker for the first day will come in at 5am, set up and do all the baking and then measure out the basic muffin mix that's going to go in the big industrial mixer the next day depending on how many muffins we've planned to bake. So the manager decides we need to 1.5x the amount of muffins we usually do because she figures it's going to be a busy day. Yesterday's baker measures out 1.5x the ingredients. No one thinks to update the bake sheet (the thing you check every morning that details how many of each muffin to make/how many in total are getting made) to reflect this fact.

So I come in at 5am, check the sheet, dump the ingredients into the mixer - add the regular amounts of oil, milk, etc. you'd need for a normal amount of muffins, and leave things to mix while I get on with the thousand other things that need doing in the morning and then come back to realize something is very wrong.

It's sort of my fault for not realizing something was different right away just from the look of it, but it's 5am and I was on auto-pilot. So that was fun trying to catch back up while we had the morning rush of old people and impatient workers!
