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 A little different, but the same principle. I rented an old house near campus with 3 friends junior year. The lease had rules like:

- No containers of water greater than 1 gallon
- No rollerblading in the kitchen
- DO NOT GO IN THE BASEMENT

@electrafish I guess the basement was where they kept the bodies of people caught rollerblading in the kitchen?

@williampietri Don't know. Never went down there. All we could see from the top of the stairs was a pile of flattened boxes!
