    I'm not allowed to put no camping signs on the tables. I'm not allowed to put a your mother doesn't work here sign either.
    and that is just for your fellow employees??????

    I'm not allowed to pose my company branded, stuffed toys in sexual poses around my cube.

    Apparently, it's been done too many times before and is no longer funny. I was amused...

    Taken-down endcaps get "killed," not "whacked."

    Irv, marijuana is legal where I live, and we have MJ tourists. There's an adapter that goes with the vaporizers they use so they can use oil cartridges. The little hemp bag it comes in has a patch on it that actually says "dime bag." Oy.

    Don't refer to bags of candy clearance-priced at 10 cents apiece as dime bags.

    Things I am not allowed to do at my hotel:
    • Go hide in the maintenance office during the 3pm rush
    • Ask Dorothy* the laundry lady if she wants to trade jobs when I get tired of people (she doesn't know how to do front desk, I don't know how to do hotel laundry, tragic hilarity would ensue if we tried)
    • Give annoying guests directions to go the wrong way (though I can "forget" to mention how expensive parking downtown is, or that I know how to get there via train)
    • Cry when my beloved GM announces he got promoted and will be leaving our location (crying at work is unprofessional...sobbing my eyes out at home is my own business, however)
    • Protest mopping of the lobby at 8am during the breakfast rush by "accidentally" slipping
    • Curse in Quena, even though the odds are very low that anyone will understand me (and that particular version of Elvish doesn't really have too many curse words anyway...Tolkien was Catholic)

    If I go to a certain burger place for lunch, I am not allowed to say, "I was just serviced by Five Guys."

    not when you still have little mayo on your chin.

    No, you say "I just did Five Guys for lunch" instead.
    I did leave satisfied.

    You are absolutely correct. My Pandora feed has a few NSFW songs in it.
    Quoth Rosco the Iroc View Post
    The radio only gets 1 station in really well. It's sugar-pop so we take turns putting the Pandora or something on. I had a 2 gig MP3 player and load up a mix. One day I decided it should be silly song/ Weird Al/Dr Demento day.
    A lot of customers were really cracking up but a few wet blankets (staff) killed the fun. They are the same that complained when we had 4 whole hours of sort of xmas music (Bob Rivers) on the 24th after avoiding it the rest of the time. So people have no joy.
    At least your Pandora feed is more work appropriate than mine. That's why I need earphones.
