What’s the weirdest thing you ever got in trouble at work for?

I was accused of being disrespectful because the six people I CCd on an email weren’t listed in order of seniority.

I got an official warning for humming the theme to Thomas the tank engine whilst at the photocopier.....I had been doing it for around 6 months.

Today for evacuating with other staff out of a building when the fire alarm went off. Apparently, I should have known better its a false alarm https://t.co/2vHtsKlEyk

I had a week where I worked 39.5 hours because of an appointment and I got a "verbal warning" via email and a long talking to by my manager: "I'm not going to tell you that YOU HAVE TO work 40+ hours". Ignoring weeks when I did 60.

I worked 40s exactly until I quit

I was told off for using a word in a report that my boss didn't know ("minutiae"). I asked her to give me a list of all the words she didn't know so that it wouldn't happen again.

My first job out of college I got chastised for not staying late regularly. When I pointed out I came in early every day they responded it didn't count because nobody saw it. https://t.co/erQllXtrIL

I got devoured for multiplying numbers in my head instead of using a calculator because I was "showing off" 🤷‍♂️😄

Telling a customer what time we closed at. The company owner felt this was classified information that could be used for a robbery. I wish I was making this up.
