I worked in college athletics and we had an athletics director that was literally a control freak nutjob. One day she sent the staff an email saying:

“Effective immediately, if you leave the building for ANY reason during the day, you are required to email me prior to leaving, telling me where you are going, why you’re leaving, and when you are returning.”

Wait, what? Do we work in a prison?

Fed up with the totalitarian state, one of my coworkers decided to answer fire with fire:

“I’m leaving to go up to the library to take a shit. They have the cleanest toilets on campus. This might take a while. I’ll be back when I’m done.”

The next day, the new rule was revoked.
