The replies in this Reddit thread might have you doubting the existence of common sense, but they’re nothing short of entertaining. Bored Panda connected with the post’s creator, u/seequelbeepwell, to find out what inspired them to ask the question.

“I was watching YouTube videos about life in Japan and noticed how much trust they place in people to do the right thing,” they told us. “It got me thinking that maybe Western culture is different because we seem to have a few bad apples that end up creating most of the rules.”

To their surprise, the responses didn’t quite match their expectations. “I would’ve thought Florida would come up more, but Alabama seemed to take the crown,” they said. “A lot of people were venting about work-related rules. Reddit is on the side of the lady who spilled McDonald’s coffee on herself.”

30 Times Idiots Did Something That Wasn’t Against The Rules So A Rule Was Created I worked in an office where one numb nut decided to take his lunch break at 4pm everyday so he could leave early. Manager said to stop doing that. So he quit taking a lunch break Monday-Thursday. On Friday, he took all 5 lunch breaks at once and went home at noon. After that the manager assigned everyone a lunch break time. If you didn’t take it during your assigned hour you did not get a lunch break. It felt like the most Mickey Mouse middle school rule ever. Magically, that rule went away after numb nut was fired a couple of months later.

ETA: We were a customer-facing department. We had to ensure coverage for walk ins, appointments, phone calls, etc. if this wasn’t the case I doubt manager would have cared when we took lunch.

One Redditor, u/ribbediguana, shared a particularly funny story about her office banning post-its after someone missed an important message. She gave us the full scoop on what led to the unexpected rule change.

“It was a very small recruitment company,” she explained. “Honestly, the person who wrote the note could’ve just delivered the information directly. A client called in on a Friday, right before lunch, needing a temp for Monday. The person who was supposed to handle it—the one who received the post-it—was out at a client lunch. Back then, if you weren’t out drinking with clients on a Friday, you weren’t working hard enough!”

“The person who took the message left the post-it on her co-worker’s desk,” she continued. “But it wasn’t seen, the role didn’t get filled, and it made the company look bad. The business owner was furious on Monday, and a lot of passive aggression filled our tiny office of just five people.”

The fallout was intense. “The person who lost the message was demoted for a month, losing out on commission. The co-worker who missed the note quit shortly after. I didn’t last long either—the whole thing was a neon red flag for the emotional state of the business owner.”

Decades ago, I was shopping at a toy store, looking for a Lego table. I found a flat Lego table box, picture of two kids sitting at the table (fully constructed). The label read, I s**t you not, “children not included” .

As the manager at the time, I was involved in too many conversations that were part of what eventually led to this policy. No underwear with see through pants, bras showing, visibly lacking bras, underwear visible through clothes, strings pretending to be underwear that were visible above pants. I feel like I’ve seen it all. I counseled many employees on professional attire.

After the post-it ban, the company’s solution was to use a carbon copy phone message pad and still leave the note on the desk, but follow it up with an email. “Yet, there were no changes to the rule about getting tipsy with clients on a Friday!” u/ribbediguana said.

“And that was only the beginning,” she added. “The business owner also told us we needed to ‘look more expensive’—this coming from someone who constantly had food on her shirt and stockings around her ankles.”

This rule was put in place thanks to a recruiter who dared to wear flat shoes to a client visit. “We were told we had to wear stilettos, suits, cufflinks, and jackets—even in 104-degree weather,” u/ribbediguana said.

In the end, it seemed the boss was the common problem. “She was a mess,” u/ribbediguana summarized. “I’ve worked at three recruitment firms, and they all had the same type of women running the show. Let’s just say, I’m not a fan of recruitment anymore!”

30 Times Idiots Did Something That Wasn’t Against The Rules So A Rule Was Created The "no drinking allowed at work" rule at my job is because of me back when I was an alcoholic.

Before that it wasn't an official rule because they just assumed everyone would realize it wasn't allowed.

Got it written in the handbook and everything! I'm a bringer of change.

As for u/seequelbeepwell, they don’t think it’s the rules themselves that are ridiculous, but rather when people knowingly dismiss them. “For example, I ate expired salad dressing the other day,” they confessed. “I saw the expiration date and still went ahead with it. Let’s just say it was one of those bathroom moments that required a shower afterward.”

“On that note, I think my next post will be the opposite,” said u/seequelbeepwell. “What are some everyday goods and services that seem like they were created specifically for idiots?”

I used to work for a school district in the cafeteria. We got 10 days of PTO per year.

One year, a coworker decided that she was going to take an 8 day cruise the second to last week of the school year.

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

Oh dude... you have no idea. There are SO many restrictions on teachers. We are legally not allowed to go on strike during the school day. We are not allowed the 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks because " safety". We are not allowed to use PTO without express approval, creating a lesson plan for our absence, and locating a substitute teacher to cover our classes. If we cannot find a sub, the other teachers will be forced to give up their planning and grading time to cover our classes for no compensation. It goes on and on. This is why we have a massive shortage of teachers.

Our contract allows PTO, "to be co-ordinated with management to ensure orderly operation". If she put in for it and was denied, that is cause for discussion and should be. But...if you call in for 10 days without preapproval, you may be toast. If the kitchen has 2 or 3 people in it.. that screws your coworkers if no temps are available.

When you're already off work 3 months out of the year, the 10 days PTO are typically for sick days, doctors appointments, and emergencies. They're actually listed as Sick Days with a few ear marked as Personal Days. Our district has a contract that states what sick days are used for and if they don't qualify you use personal days.

I agree! I am also fervently opposed to the "use it or lose it" policy. If I can't take time off when I want to & am going to lose my PTO, employers should have to cash me out. Most companies only cash out if you quit or get fired. (US)

Blaming the lady who wanted a cheaper cruise, but some manager had to have approved it. "Yes you can have time off, you just can't use it when most of you most want to use it". This attitude sucks. I've worked for many companies that stop any time off around Christmas, but it's just lazy management. If they ban it then they don't have to monitor it year to year to check that it gets distributed fairly and the same person isn't always the one who benefits. (These were not industries that had a Christmas rush, btw.)

I work at a school and just FYI for all those saying we get the summer off - we don't. At my school we do get June and July off, but we go back the second or third week of August to get ready for kids. Custodians, secretaries, and other non-teaching staff leave later and come back earlier. We don't get paid for the time off, and that time is spent working second jobs and taking classes at our own expense to keep up with state requirements. We're busy all year round, just not necessarily in an active classroom!

FoxEcoLimaIndiaCharlieIndiAlfa 2 weeks ago

So I'm not sure what you actually consider to be summer time but typically it consists of June, July and August. You said that at the school district that you work for, you have the full months of June and July off, as well as 2-3 weeks off in the month of August. How tf is that not having the summer off? Technically, yes you may be shorted a week or two at the end of August but you still have the majority of the summer off. I understand that you may use that time working another job, seasonally but you still do not have to go to work, as a teacher for almost the entire summer. That is the point many were trying to make, in other comments.

How overtime was bid for.

A coworker figured out a way to game the system so he could maximize the available overtime, leading to complaints that there was very little left over for others to sign up for. The rules were changed 4 or 5 times and each time he found a way around the rules. Eventually they just started skipping over every other of his OT requests and put in a maximum number of OT hours someone could work in a calendar month and boy did he cry about that for months that he wasn't getting 20 hours a week of OT.

In our school's diary, in the list of rules it states no smoking. Obviously - it's a primary school! I think the oldest kid we've ever had in Grade 7 was 14. So when kids were caught with vaping equipment, one parent got a lawyer who threatened to sue the school because vaping isn't mentioned in the diary. Every year we have to keep adding things that are prohibited because kids, their parents and lawyers look for loopholes to excuse their sh!tty behaviour.

Gerry did not start up again until he was 14, I did not start again until I was 19 (I quit when I was 40). The secret was that our dad bought his cigarettes by the carton from a local Native American res and stored them in the freezer - he quit smoking after we were caught *Edit: I mention the tonsillectomies b/c we think that is part of how we quit - we had been smoking for about a year by then

At my old workplace they had to make a rule against keeping your own name from the secret Santa hat and buying yourself a gift, leaving someone else giftless. (It was a manager who did it: He bought himself a strange, almost life-size, Newsboy statue which he then preceded to put on a dolly and wheel around the building during business hours. Would've been funny if he wasn't such a jerk to everyone as a boss. Also, a few of us chipped in so the other co-worker didn't remain giftless.)

When he told me about that, I said "If the cap is the deciding factor here, pour your soda into an empty water."
