This is fun but how could they miss the dreaded *production stage*!? π±π

"All your 300+ references get misplaced after you approved the (correct) proofs, so the paper is online but everything is wrong with it. Hope no one sees it & spend a few days correcting references & emailing the journal manager" (TRUE STORY)
"Your special issue article erroneously gets published in a regular issue. Spend your holidays on the phone with the publisher. End up with the same paper published twice, once as "Reprint", with 2 separate DOIs"
"For some reason, after approving the proofs, some of your figures get randomly replaced with others. Spend a lot of time trying to convince the journal to correct this mistake *at least in the online version*"
...and of course, in each of these instances, pay the publisher thousands of $ for the "production costs" of your Open Access paper
