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!

Something people often don’t grasp is why they need to be reachable when they are on duty. There are of course numerous “that one guy” stories. But the thing people miss is that when, sooner or later, there is an emergency, managers need to account for everyone who should be there.
