These Ridiculous Office Rules Will Make You Glad You Don’t Work HERE.

Some companies just have rules that defy reason. They make no logical sense when it comes to productivity, safety, and morale. The people who come up with them are usually mini tyrants in power suits. Yet, we either laugh it off or accept the ridiculous protocols just to keep our jobs and pay our bills.
Reddit recently asked “what is the dumbest rule at your job?” and the users response did not disappoint. After you are finished laughing, you will thank your lucky stars your boss is not as crazy or bad as these unlucky employees. Unless, of course you can top these.

No laughing.

"We're not allowed to laugh out loud. My boss thinks we're secretly laughing at her. And yes."
No laughing.

No nicknames for copiers.

"We are not allowed to refer to the Xerox Machine as "Bob Marley" any more even though it still jams way more than it Xeroxxes. This is because apparently the CEO's tween daughter came in one day and she got very upset when she thought the staff were keeping her from seeing Bob Marley in real life. She did not know that Bob Marley is dead. This made the CEO got stressed out and yell at us about the nick name." 
No nicknames for copiers.

Microwave!

"If the microwave and printer run at the same time it trips a breaker that only property management can reset. So whenever anyone microwaves something they have to yell 'MICROWAVE!' so nobody prints." 
Microwave!

Tracking time.

"My last manager (global company) tried to tell us that if she saw us at each other's desks discussing non- work related things, we had to keep track of those minutes and take them as vacation.
Tracking time.

Contact manager first.

"I'm not allowed to contact mall security or the police without District Manager approval.
I could have been just robbed at gun point in my store. My first call is supposed to be my DM to tell them I got robbed and "can I pretty please call the police?"
Contact manager first.

Snack machines.

"If two snacks fall from the vending machine, we have to turn in the extra one or its considered "stealing company property". Had a manager follow me to the front desk to turn in some cookies last week."
Snack machines.

No red pens?

"I work for a very superstitious Korean man. The rules are no red pens, no shaking your legs and no whistling after the sun goes down. These aren't official 'rules', but he gets very serious about these things and doesn't allow joking about ghosts/the supernatural."

No red pens?

Learn the meaning of BAR CODES

EAN Country Codes The first two or three digits of an EAN-13 barcode identify the country in which the manufacturer's identification code was assigned.  They do not necessarily indicate the country in which the goods were manufactured.   Many countries have EAN coding authorities which regulate the use of retail barcodes. For names, addresses, and telephone numbers, click here to view our list of Standards Organizations.  In the United States the UPC-A and UPC-E symbologies are used for marking retail products; the administering authority is the Uniform Code Council in Dayton, Ohio (tel. 937-435-3870) The figure below shows a typical EAN-13 barcode.

What Horror’s Scariest Stars Look Like In Real Life.

Image
            When you appear as a scary looking villain in a horror flick, your true appearance is often masked by special effects, makeup, and, you guessed it, a hockey mask. But in real life, these supernatural creatures are no different than the rest of us. Most of you would probably walk by them on the street without realizing the roles they played. This is actually quite an advantage for them, as it gives these actors the chance to avoid being typecast in Hollywood, but it's bad for us, because when we come face to face with them, we won't know whether we should be afraid of them or not.  Samara caused havoc and brought terror to audiences in "The Ring" in 2002. In the film, anyone who watched a videotape of Samara would get a call informing them that they had 7 days to live. Then they'd get a visit from Samara herself as she crawled out of the well and into your living room, and killed you.
