Workplaces have rules and regulations for good reason. Employers requiring you to wear steel-toed shoes and not leave tripping hazards in front of the deep fryer ensure the safety of everyone involved.

First it’s no Instagram on the work computer, and next thing you know they’re installing a keylogger.

As such, Redditors shared some of the most incredibly stupid rules they’ve ever found themselves subject to at a job. Everything from good old fashioned micromanagement to full-on physical impossibilities is covered. 

Read on and be thankful that you hopefully don’t have this specific shit to deal with on a daily basis.
