When I am dead, I hope it is said;

I knew a guy once who had finished his thesis, defended, gone through graduation, and was working at the Institute for Advanced Studies who about a year later was informed that he *wasn't* a PhD graduate until he came back and fixed the formating on his thesis (it seems the margins were wrong). He had to come back for a few weeks while the formating nazi's nit picked his thesis layout. It was ugly.
