It's nice to know I'm not the only one
My boss reports directly to our grand leader, a visionary who often has very strong opinions on things he has no expertise on. Our grand leader meets weekly with many of my fellow department heads, but not me. (I'll spare you the history that has led to this.) And in these meetings they often discuss all sorts of things outside the realm of the department's scope, things such as the organization's website, which is under my jurisdiction. So one day we arrange a meeting for me to demonstrate the incredible functionality of our new CMS website, only to find myself ambushed by several of these coworkers and our grand leader. "We've been complaining about the website for two years!" he later said to me in private. Yeah, it turns out he had. But never once to me.
