An operator in the control room of a power plant was caught sleeping during his shift. The resulting rule was outlawing any napping/sleeping anywhere on site at any time. Not at breaks or lunchtime, at your desk, in your office or in your car in the parking lot at lunch. And to top it off, keep your office door open at all times to show that you’re working at your desk. They could have just said not to sleep in the control room, but that would be singling a person out.

The following year? No taking time off except in medical emergencies the last month of school.

I know a country that had full face covering bike helmets banned because shop breakers created a trend of using them to mask their face.

The abolishment of last meal requests in Texas because one guy had such a massive meal request.
