I’ve been deposed about my email; not fun. It also wasted about 4 full days of my time preparing for a 1 day deposition. (A high-profile case involving two household-name companies.)

I had to go to a deposition for my company once, among other issues, I had written a joke in an e-mail about some poorly written code ("no wonder they want to sue us"), the lawyers did not find that funny.
But I was also told not to prepare at all for the disposition. Our lawyers preferred me to say "I can't recall" than to actually study up and refresh my memory on the product in question.
