Once got in trouble for allegedly acting weird during a fire drill (I was not acting weird I just had to lead a client to the muster station which was awkward).

Once got threatened with "disciplinary action" for wearing jeans instead of khakis at a telesales job and told my boss to just fire me because I wasn't buying a special pair of "talk on the phone pants."

They ended up just changing the dress code to "no profanity."

I worked a desk job in college and was told I was welcome to bring homework and study. A brand-new administrator wrote me up for "reading romance novels" at my desk. I had to explain that Proust and Milton were definitely not romance novels.
