Let's see... I had finished tracking a band this summer, and was finishing up the mixes. I was hired to engineer (they basically produced it themselves and were pretty happy with rough takes that I wouldn't have let pass if it were my decision). A fan of another "rival" band had asked one of the band members why their band wasn't on Facebook yet. The band member said that the band's "producer" must not have done that for them yet...
While this current band was recording, the other "rival" band was named Artist of the Week by a magazine in their genre. The current band I was working with was somewhat jealous, and when someone was teasing them about it, they said their "producer" hadn't gotten them on that "radio station" yet. I guess they didn't know that the award was from a magazine.
The sad part is, they were jealous of the rival band who was successful, but that band put a lot of time into making a great record. The current band just threw their record together in a day or so, and I spent a month getting it to sound as good as possible while they kept calling asking if it was done yet. It actually is listenable now, but it's not equal to the other band's record.
