The team’s PO, PO P. O’Pio, was really PO’d when he found the PO at the PO.
I work in a perfect storm of acronym-happy industries: IT, health care, and insurance. They all just love their acronyms and initialisms, and while I’ve never seen a sentence as bad as my admittedly over-the-top example above, I’ve seen some that are close.

Did you RP to the OPL INC with the PBI?
The only thing that would have made it worse (to my language-loving senses) is if it had also incorporated text-speak:
did u rp 2 th opl inc w/th pbi?
