    Place I work had a rule that men could not wear shorts, but women could wear capris…. I went out and bought a pair of capris and wore them to work and shortly after, men could wear shorts. Fuck dumb rules.

      I would buy some cheap pants and keep shortening them bit by bit every day to see what happens.

      Or you know what, no. It would just be an idea. I am a coward. I’d follow the rules if they said to kiss the CEO’s hand on arrival, and shoe on departure. Who am I kidding, I’d do nothing.
      Back to realistic pessimism.

        I’m in retail management.

        One time I spent a couple months wearing fake eyelashes that gradually got longer and more extreme until someone verbally called me on it. Then I said I didn’t know what they were talking about and stooped westing fake eyelashes after that. I never explained to my employees it was a joke. We just never brought it up again lol.

        Moral of the story : us managers may have to act all “no nonsense” but we are very much as bored at work as you. We just can’t say it. So… fake eyelashes.
