I also hate when they force you to change passwords from time to time and forbid you to set one of your previous passwords. One particular offender is russian website HeadHunter [1].

I hope such people will go to very special hell after they die.

Extra fun with organizations that use single sign on. Change your pc login and now your phone has the wrong wifi credentials. Let it attempt to connect too many times and your account is disabled.

I've asked IT people that set these policies to tell me their previous password -- after all, they changed it to something completely different, as per policy, right??

No one has ever agreed to this.
