Client declined to allow billing over the weekend, demanded I work 20 hours. Task will be mysteriously blocked or delayed for the next two days as a result.5

I progressively became more right over the course of 30 years. At the point where I was contextually right more often than not, I determined that to be "good." Then I kept getting better, just in case.6

This was few years ago, I was an intern in the company (first job I ever had). After few months of fiddling around stuff (haven't yet touched a production project). We landed a 'high priority' project.
We were told by the client (A multinational company) that they had a contract that fell through with another software house and the app is already made they just need to integrate it inside their main app instead of having it a separate app.
We were like, okay, and we made sure that everything will stay the same (APIs, Feature flows, etc). My managers gave it an estimate of two months.
And after a couple of weeks they started changing everything (APIs, flows, design, ALL OF IT) and they insisted we meet the deadline. It was a project for a multinational telecom company so it had payments, features for user's consumption and a shit-ton of other features.
At some point I was the only developer working, had to pull more than 16 hours a day to meet the deadline but we did.
I was in my fourth year of college as well. It was crazy.
May not be the craziest deadline overall, but for sure was the craziest deadline for me to meet.
Edit: Oh and after all of that it was never released bc of "financial reasons"1 -

When a process works better than expected but you were hoping that it only works as expected...
USPS (mail service) is known for being crappy. I couldn't submit a temp address change via web bc I couldn't type my apartment unit # into their web form but a mail hold request where u manually just enter any address worked.
So I was at my parents for a month, just got back yesterday.
I put in a mail hold n before I left my apt, but expired on like Wednesday.
So when I got back Saturday, I expected a huge mail dump but I couldn't find any mail...
However last week I went to the local office and put in a Temp change of address bc there was a chance I'd go just to get the mail but not stay for other reasons...
Got confirm letter that it would be effective like Saturday.
I'm thinking it won't cover the mail held during the mail hold.
Well apparently it did... So now all my mail is at my parents but I'm back in my apt...
