For The Flip, I need to write both an employee handbook and a volunteer handbook. I need your stories of That One Guy.

My theory is that an awful lot of those manuals exist because of incidents where somebody did something stupid but not covered, so the boss rolled their eyes and said, "Ok, Terry, I'll write it down for next time."

So please give me your best dumbass-colleague stories. Think of them as handbook test cases. I'll open source the results!

@williampietri I don't have a cool story, but I'm reminded of the saying that aviation regulations are written in blood.
@SteveFoerster For sure. Architects say that too. I suspect for employee handbooks, it's more like they're written in urine, but same principle.

The version I heard from an ex was "It's all fun and games till somebody gets hit in the nuts with a paint can".
