What rules have you broken at work?

I had a habit of doing handstands on my office couch. Technically that wasn’t prohibited in the rule book

I had sex at work. 🤗

Slept with the boss.

(1) Stealing - donated the contents of the kitchen fridge to some homeless people
(2) Dress code - did an overnight shift in my underwear
(3) Security - let my 12 yo foster daughter use a workstation to do her homework

No proper undergarments (I refuse to wear a bra because I have no boobs). I also smoke weed on my breaks.

All of them, practical jokes was the best. Hiding chairs, taping down mouses, taking staples out(theft of staples), putting fur under edge of desk making it feel creepy, (got lectured for that one, employee screamed). Etc.

I’m big on what I guess would be dress code violation. I have several managers, but the head one is absolutely ocd anal about following every single rule in the gig book. One rule that drives me crazy is that we can’t have personal items in our work area. For instance, they keep it cold sometimes, and everyone brings a jacket. Now if you decide you aren’t cold anymore, and you take off your jacket, if she’s there, you can’t simply stick it in a drawer or hide it in your work area- she insists that you tie it around your waist instead. Now if you’re wearing a cute outfit, having a hoodie tied around your waist is simply tacky, so I’m always trying to hide mine and my head manager comes snooping around and jumps on me every time. None of the other managers care at all, but she does. Other rules I break are texting on my cell phone when we’re slow, and having drink containers we can’t have in our area. Coming back late from my break, staying in the bathroom too long, etc. I’m quite a rebel!

A company I once worked for occasionally did work at a large industrial site where they were really sticklers for rules, things like hard hats and steel toe shoes. A trip there usually involved stopping at a guard shack and answering questions such as "do you have any drugs, weapons, or video cameras in your vehicle?". Glass containers were another item forbidden. I got sent there on a few occasions and I always lied about the boots and never wore a hardhat any longer than necessary to get past security. On at least one occasion I went on my personal truck and was allowed it drive it inside one of the buildings, with an escort of course. I'm reasonably sure I had at least two of the forbidden items in my truck, on top of not having steel toes and not wearing a hard had. My job didn't involve working around any dangerous equipment so there was never any real danger.

1) dress code. I'm not wearing a dumb ass belt
2) Stealing. I've taken home dry erase markers and I've snatched product that was about to expire.
3)Code of conduct. I've made raunchy jokes but it brightens the mood and i swear like a sailor
4) I don't follow recipes exactly I cut corners and do things my way and it works just fine
5) I have drank on the job I snuck in those tiny bottles of liquor and poured some rum into my coke to keep me going. Just enough to loosen up not enough to make me stink of it.

Code of conduct. But we almost never follow that rule. My co-workers all swear like sailors and tell crude jokes with each other. When certain employees come around our department, we're a lot more professional, but with each other, there is little to no code of conduct.

I follow the rules
Unless they are stupid

One of the funniest i ever saw was when i guy got s phone call half way through drinking hugs coffee.
Smile he was gone, someone took his metal enamelled mug, of the coffee into another mug, nailed the metal mug to the bench then poured the coffee back in.... And we waited...

🤔...........Just remember the IT department can monitor phone conversations and emails, so watch what you say on the phone and write in emails when talking to people when you think it's private..........And they know what website you are visiting when using your computer.

Not listening when someone wants to whine about things. I have enough problems of my own than to hear about your useless drivel

1.Dress code (f*** black socks)
2.code of conduct (bad jokes)
3.destruction of probably (got mad)
4.drug policy (I'd smoke joints on my lunch break)

I broke your 1 and 2, possibly 5.

Adding some umm… self love time one weekend when there was no one around.

my night job, I have never broke any rules. I need that income and wont do anything to jeopardize it. Its my most stable income.

My day job, I have broke several rules. I dont wear the required uniform and have just seemingly got away with it since i stared working there and I never take breaks. The no break rule sounds like a minor thing but they are very persistent on workers taking breaks. I never do because once i get in a rhythm, i wont get myself out of it till its knock off time.

office stationery doesn't count. Steal your boss's husband then we're talking

one time I took a piece of printer paper to write notes on 🤭

Always include a termination condition in your loop 😐

4 More than once lol uhg

Cutting corners

Complimented a collegue on her choice of lipstick colour

Today I wanted to throw my metal water bottle at my boss. Probably frowned upon 😆
There is someone I would consider a date with but I don't see it happening (and likely wouldn't go through with it anyways)

I take toilet paper from work .

Let's just call them [i]parting gifts[/i]. I don't think any place I have been at had a policy against dating, as long as one of the people wasn't a supervisor of the other. Then, it was simply a matter of disclosure. I met my Ex at work.

Insubordination and apparently "demonstrating an appalling lack of respect for authority".

Which is why I now work for myself.

Embarrassing the Officer in charge in front of the whole crew!
He gave me midnight shift where I took naps because the radar display hypnotized me! 😜

Dress code, apparently (came to work while my hair was slightly damp, and got reamed by my regional manager 🙄).

Cutting corners yes.

I slip in a few personal bills to be paid..
Rules are meant to be broken

Uh, probably only take a pen and post it notes

Is there a rule against masturbating in the bathroom?

That is going to be a comprehensive list.

It’s better to name the rules I’ve kept

Just in case they can see this, I'm gonna say........................ none.

When you say bad jokes, do you just mean clunkers?

i have almost hit a few people. does that count?

Ate out secretary on Boss table

None I make the rules 😊

Naughty girl

I used to work for a big company that distributes TV shows. One of the supremely annoying things they made us do every couple of weeks is take an online "training" course on how to be a good employee, be professional, etc., so they could presumably throw us under the bus.

So I made an illegal copy of some shows while I took their stupid test.

Well, I have to think back to a time when I had an office job of the sort that had rules of conduct. Let's see here. That was back in 1996, I want to say. I was working graveyard shift as security at a car battery plant. What rules did I break? Hmmmm...

1. I stole from the vending machines. Not a lot, just enough to have something to eat at night. The sandwich machine had a feature that I'm sure they have fixed in future models, where you could buy an item, and then reach into the next item slot over and pull it out through a very thin gap, but only if the item was squishy.
2. Sleeping on the job. I would literally write down that I was going on a full round of the interior and exterior of the building, which bought me a half hour to hide in the computer office and take a nap.
3. I used the security office phone to make prank calls to bars. I got a female bartender to yell "Mike Hunt!"
4. I stole a car battery. 😆 It wasn't even for me. My friend who got me the job needed a new battery for his car. So he pulled up around back, knowing that I was the only security guard on the premises, and I brought it out to him.
5. One time, when I thought there were no plant personnel at all in the building, I was bored and played with the intercom system, only to find out somebody was there, and he got mad.
6. Now that I think of it, I also stole an entire roll of stickers with the biohazard symbol on them. My mom had us on this weird grapefruit juice diet, and I can't stand straight grapefruit juice, so I put a sticker on the bottle, lol.
7. Speaking of the computer office, I would go in and change the screensavers on the computers that weren't locked. Remember the scrolling text screensaver that would scroll a pre-written message across the screen? I would change the text to say something like "Help! I'm trapped in this computer!"

The dress code

Pulled a sword out on my boss and was going to kill him. After he slapped me.
