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!
You should also look at CoC's from FOSS projects, a lot of them are bloated because "that asshole who one time..."
Therefore, in the Vinyl Cache Project, we have rule zero which says "We'll throw you out of the project, rather than add a rule to proscribe your bad conduct".

The fedi instance that I'm on has a rule that says "don't be a ballox".
Most people understand what it means.
Mod team probably put it in because they know all about That Guy (it's nearly always a guy) who will almost break the rules, and be ready to point out how he didn't actually break any of the actual rules actually.
