this hits so close to home. I have a manager who often claims a given task is "really simple" (especially in meetings) and when assigning some of these simple tasks he informs me that they should take 10 minutes. The funny part is to watch him take on some of these 10 minute tasks, and watch him cooped up in his office for 5 hours screaming at various pieces of software (i.e. visual studio or IIS) not behaving in a manner suitable for said 10 minute task. After the 10 minutes (plus 5 hours) of working on it, he'll call me into his office and ask me why his local IIS isn't working and that "it doesn't make any sense"... will spend another half hour troubleshooting all his issues, and 10 minutes after that his fix is ready to enter the release cycle.
