Weird underwriter questions

I've had all kinds of demands over the years from underwriters including once when Bank of America demanded I provide my actual IRS tax filing extension, not a copy, not a certified copy from my CPA, and not a letter from my CPA saying I had filed an extension, the actual extension- took two months to clear that one up.

I'm curious what weird questions underwriter's have asked other people?
