I'll give you the pun  , but I was more on the lines that I get crap dumped on my desk most days. I've thought about putting up an electric fence to keep them out.

I feel your pain.
As here in the office I have complete departments that can hinder progress on projects not by days but currently they have delayed a project by a year and rising.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

Well duh. They're called managers.

People get promoted to management when it is too dangerous to let them do work but too expensive to fire them.
At that point they try to disrupt your work by tying you up in endless meetings, process, and paperwork. None of which achieves anything so can largely be ignored. This is all part of the game.
Other people remain in a position to do work, but don't.
They are far more difficult to circumvent.
Or hurt.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

There was a fellow that was hired onto the team that was like that. The project lead (who really had no experience interviewing) hired him based on a phone interview because he said all the right things. The new guy didn't do anything in the prescribed languages (he did some stuff in some obscure scripting language nobody ever heard of), never committed his work into the source code tree, never bothered to learn anything about the existing code base, made promises that for a year were never delivered on...and the irony is, the company let go of the consultants (one of them was me) to cut costs, but this guy is still there three years later.

If you're incompetent, you need to push everyone down below your level, in the eyes of the boss.
There are actually books that teach how to do this.

Yes, this happened after he had offered up his arse.

I mean, I'd have offered him a kidney.

More bizarre reasons for Indian weddings to get called off :
A wedding was called off in Bangalore after the families of the bride and the groom failed to agree on the kind of biryani that was to be served at the wedding - while the bride's family preferred chicken, the groom's wouldn't have anything but mutton biryani.
Here's another :
According to reports, a wedding ceremony in Aligarh was called off just because the groom was kissed by his brother's wife in public.
The groom and the bride had met each other on social media and fell in love. During the wedding, the groom's sister in law kissed him the moment he greeted the bride and then proceeded to drag him to the dance floor where she demanded he shake a leg.
However this behaviour was not acceptable by the bride's family and they called off the wedding.
And one more :
The Times of India reports that the 27-year-old groom's change of heart was discovered after he failed to return home the day before the wedding.
He had left home to deliver wedding cards but did not return, leaving both his and his bride-to-be's families distraught. They were later told that he had eloped with another girl.

It used to be that I was glad I wasn't born in India as I don't speak a word of Hindi.
Now - you leave me perplexed.
On the one hand - how breeding pairs are produced, at least amongst the humans, is one of those times when one shrugs their shoulders, shakes one's head slowly from side to side, and relegates the situation to forgettable.
But, on the other hand - It may well be that I'd be able to spend much of my time laughing so hard my eyes roll up and I start drooling.

I don't speak Hindi either. Most people in southern India don't understand Hindi all that much (outside of what they learn from Bollywood movies). My native language is Malayalam

Apparently, you agree, as you left . . .

Maybe she had just really bad eyesight and din't want to admit it.

Quote: The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out. The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six? His reply: 17.
Looks like she made the right choice.
