Where I work, there is an internal form, which has a drop down menu that defaults to "unspecified". The aggravating thing is that it has two distinct meanings.

Where I work, there is an internal form, which has a drop down menu that defaults to "unspecified". The aggravating thing is that it has two distinct meanings. It can mean "nobody has specified this value" or it can mean "this value has been determined by the relevant authority to be unspecified". But the distinction has to be tracked externally somehow, because there's no way to change the menu.
