Funny stories that you have heard/seen working in investment banking

Hey guys,

To make this Friday go faster, can you share the funny moments you have lived during your investment banking office hours?

I just remembered about an analyst I used to work with. He had a date, and as per post-date protocol, he was about to do a follow-up--in this case by email.

Next thing I remember is bursting into laughter. He got a reply to his follow up email that went like this:

"Hi [his name],

Just in case you are wonder why you haven't heard back from Amy after your date...you sent this email to the wrong address. This is Deutsche Bank's [desk name].

Good luck with Amy!"
