It's especially fun in corporate IT.
"What do you mean user: [me] already has it open? I've never been in this folder in life, and I just rebooted!"
Or when it says it's open by a former employee with a disabled account.
If it's on a network share, you also can't rely on the normal tricks with process monitor and the like to look for locks locally.
It's one thing I'll praise about using office documents with OneDrive and (Azure based) Sharepoint in a well configured corporate setting: Microsoft finally caught up to Google Doc's collaboration functionality, and it handles "merge conflicts" fairly well for other file types (add the machine name as a suffix to the file name, keep both copies, and give a big warning message).
