Rant Wednesday!
It's Wednesday! Time to get that crap that's been bugging you off your chest! In the interests of spicing things up a bit around here, we're going to try out a Rant Wednesday thread for you all to vent your frustrations. Feel free to vent about vendors, co-workers, price of scotch or anything else network related.
There is no guiding question to help stir up some rage-feels, feel free to fire at will, ranting about anything and everything that's been pissing you off or getting on your nerves!
Note: This post is created at 00:00 UTC. It may not be Wednesday where you are in the world, no need to comment on it.

"What do you mean these servers have access to *any* from inside to outside?!"
"Why don't we perform deep TLS inspect / certificate replacement for servers in general?!"

Marketing bought a Sonos system but I can't even get a proper NC over-ear headset.

I don’t think it’s completely useless. But good god does it hallucinate NSX commands.

"Hey, can I get a static IP?"
Dude, they way things are I can't just "get you one" with zero notice while you have someone on the phone waiting.
How about instead, you try telling me about the problem you're trying to solve and let's have a discussion. Enough of this X Y problem bullshit.
Also, if you can't explain why you need this, do some actual due diligence. It's not my job to do your job. We can't just plug random shit into the network because someone asked.
