Does your work(School) have any stupid rules/policys?

[Plinglebob]

Just been going through some of my old work ones (call centre) and while the dress code was fairly lax, there were always 2 rules that annoyed me. The 1st was no hoodies, and this was because I've been wearing them for at lest 15 years (trendsetter) and the second was while women could wear short skirts, 3/4 length trousers and sandles, guys couldn't and for someone who gets overheated in the summer, this was really annoying.

My current job doesn't officially have a dress code, but all the guys wear shirt and trousers and all the women dress relatively smartly so there isn't a need for one.

My university accomadation has the stupid rule of "no fireworks, firearms, ammunition and double adapters". I mean double updaters are dangerous, but not being able to keep my gun under my bed, what?

It actualy says in my school rules No Handgrenades. I shit you not but now what am I supposed to do with this M2?

The whole uniform code is pretty annoying. Only school scarves and badges are allowed, and you know what they're introducing next year? School berets. Dear god. Of all things that require changing at my school, they go ahead and design school berets. Shirt buttons done all the way up, tie done up, and we have to wear our blazers to and from school. If they're really so concerned about the way we wear our uniform, then they should just get rid of it. Then no one would know what school we're from, and we'd be unable to bring any shame to the school.

And I'm not a huge fan of my school's policy regarding VCE subjects either. You can't take 6 unit 3/4 subjects in year 12, for one. If anyone's able to cope with that many subjects, it'd be a student from my school. We are notorious for being...how to put. Overachievers. And while I can understand why, they don't let us hug people of the opposite sex in public while we're wearing our school uniform. Not that it stops many of us from doing so anyway.

Hod it right there...
What school do you go to?!?!?!
That sounds EXACTLY like my school.

One of our rules is that teachers must EXPECT respect.
You do NOT EXPECT RESPECT.
YOU EARN IT.
Oh, and they have a rule tat states that 'personal computers are not to be used within school hours without the express consent and monitoring of a teacher.'
That's right, I can't use my laptop without asking a teacher.
They. Don't. Care.

We can't dye our hair (at all), we can't have our hair to long...Hell, we can't even GEL our hair.

Essentially, all relates to hair, plus the odd litter Nazi's and the fact we ALWAYS have to wear school uniform to major school functions.

We managed to get Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards banned in our primary school...

we got them banned to mainly because with Beyblades some idiot hit someone in the eye with one,
Yu-Gi-Oh the school got worried that it was some sort of narcotics deal was going down or something like that and banned it.

 

[Syntax Error]

Also, no wristwatches.

What? Why? How the hell did they justify that one?

Apparently, being time-conscious is a bad thing.

Forget that. I just went to my new college's induction day and now every one of us has to wear an orange strapa round our neck with our ID card on it at all times. This is to stop people from sneaking into the college. My brother went to this college. He never had to even show his card unless it was at the beginning of an exam.

 

[hyperhammy]

my first primary school had a strict "no running" rule....... IN THE PLAYGROUND! no joke! they were actually THAT stupid! eventually they were torn apart by angry parents so they changed the rule to "no running *wildly*" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!?! yup, a very stupid school. they never did change their "no ball games" rule

My primary school had a no running and no touching rule... anywhere.
We weren't even allowed to touch each other at a dance... =S

We're not allowed to play cards in the library, even during our free periods.

I'm not allowed a desktop fan in a 25c office with not air conditioning. Oh, why you ask?

Health and safety; I could potentially blow dust into people lungs resulting in a deteriotation of other people's health and well being?

derp.

My god, you get 25? Eskimo. The thermostats at my office are set at 29 when I come in in the morning and I listen to people complain all day if I turn them down one degree.

I had that at the university center once at Memphis State. I sat down and was waiting for my brothers so I started playing solitaire and some staff member walked up and said "You can't play cards here." "I hardly think that's what the administration meant when they prohibited card games. I'm being quiet and I'm not likely to gamble with myself, am I?" "Put the cards up."

That must have been one awesome dance...

"Hey look Ma! No hands!"

My old school had no hats, no trainers or boots(even if they were black) and no hoodies. I also had a mohawk which apparently wasn't allowed (the irony being that they told me to wear a hat to cover it, then shouted at me for wearing a hat). Needles to say, I wore a cap, a pair of Dr Martens and a hoodie every day... VIVA LA REVOLUCION!

Some epic contradictions right there I always love when school/parents go put up some lame ass rules only to contradict them selves. I always wear Hoodies/Caps and no school so far has complained about my Eybrow Piercing.

It wasn't really the school, it was just my ***** of a form tutor. She was truly evil, you should have seen her face when she spotted my tattoo. She told me I had to get it removed and phoned my parents, my mum told her to go f**k herself...

That must have been priceless. Anyway a school forcing you to remove a tattoo is just freaking stupid and insane. Tattoos can be covered up and there will be nothing wrong with it. Where did you have that tattoo anyway? Your neck/Upper arm?

The stupid thing is that it is on my chest, my tie wasn't pushed up all the way so you could see the very top of it. When I wore my tie properly, you couldnt see it but she still demanded I got it removed.

Teachers aren't allowed to give students food except for two days a year of their choosing. This doesn't bother me but apperently the first grade parents are unhappy.

Pokemon and Magic cards were banned at my school after they were deemed to present false idols and non-Catholic magic. I go to a Catholic school by the way.

Non catholic magic?
is there catholic magic?

You goddamned Ninja.

Apart from a no cell phones policy, we don't really have any stupid rules. Our principal is very lax with in-school policy because we always have a few cops around to keep order. He doesn't give a damn about dress code and he encourages teachers to take their day off when they have to do a mandatory safety notice day (which has the side effect of keeping them teaching real stuff in class more). In fact, I think more of the in-class policies are dictated by the teachers instead of the school.
