Didn't they already discuss that in one of these?

In 2006, Google Image Labeler was released, a gamification where you and a random partner were shown an image from Google Images and had to provide a description, with points awarded for saying the same thing. What could possibly go wrong? At first it backfired because players kept picking the simplest descriptor (e.g. "man" instead of "Bill Gates'). But soon players figured out that it didn't matter if they were right, they just got points for matching what their partner was doing. Some players started labeling _every image_ as "congenita" and a few other obscure words. Players partnered with them realized they would get no points if they played legitimately and maximum points if they too started labeling everything as "congenita". Thus the game quickly devolved and Google wound up with loads of useless data.

I see it all the time at the hotel I work at - summer weekends we're often sold out as that's when most weddings and local events happen. Every single weekend I get no less than ten requests to check in early on the day of the wedding so they can get ready because the wedding is at 2pm. Check in is 3pm, and since it's a Saturday, we were likely sold out the night before so there aren't any rooms ready for early check in. The other prevalent example is the people who don't think about how weekends at hotels are busy and wait until 9 or 10pm on Fri/Sat night to find a room, only to discover they're all sold out. Similarly, we have about ten long-term residents who only book one day at a time and don't consider on Monday that their room might not be available on Friday, then act like it's our fault that we didn't do anything to hold "their" room.

Red Light Cameras are a great candidate. Most cities with them have been caught red-handed adjusting the yellow light time (looking at you Knoxville) in hopes of generating additional revenue from them. Also they've backfired in Tennessee to where they've been ruled that you have the right to face your accuser, being some guy behind a desk from the company that installed them and leased them to the city. AKA: You don't have to pay the ticket! Another one is the 11-Foot-8 Bridge in Durham, NC. Yes, the KZread-famous one. A few years ago the bridge was raised 8 inches to make the tracks level with nearby train crossings, and they've installed a fancy traffic light that turns red when an overheight truck is incoming. It's ended up with slightly more truck crashes because trucks tend to floor it when the light turns yellow.

I did a few Uber food deliveries (and this would be a year or two before the DoorDash fiasco). Twice there were orders for food places that were closed. 🥴 Once it was a suppertime order for a sandwich deli that had lunch hours only. Closed at 16:00. The other was for a McDonald's drive-thru. The location was open late but not as late as I liked to drive. I think it closed at midnight and I was getting called over there at half-past. I drove through so as to rule out some kind of special arrangement, but the dude who was in there finishing work just shook his head as if I were a would-be customer who couldn't read signs. No surprise he wouldn't even open the window for a quick clarifying talk. On both occasions, my driver app gave me a short list of options for the order cancellation reason. None of them applied so I had to choose a lie. There wasn't an option of "other" and there was no evident way to submit a report.
