My favorite are some of the work systems that I need to access, but only infrequently, yet still have ridiculous password expiration rules. Nearly every time I log in, before I can access the system I have to change my password because of course it's expired again. So I change the password, write it down because I'll never remember it months from now when I need to use that password exactly once to login and change my password yet again.
