| 0:00.0 | What's one rule that your school slash workplace has implemented that absolutely backfired? |
| 0:06.0 | My high school banned girls from wearing any shirt that exposed their bra straps, because seeing a bra strap would give high school boys evil thoughts. |
| 0:14.0 | Most of the girls in the school responded by wearing the same shirts they'd always worn without bras. |
| 0:18.0 | As a teenage boy, it was a happy couple of weeks. The school tried to |
| 0:21.9 | then mandate that all female students wear bras. Until a male teacher asked a 15 year old if she was |
| 0:27.1 | wearing appropriate undergarments or not. She called them a pervert, her parents who thought the |
| 0:31.3 | whole dress code thing was as stupid as most of the students, threatened a sexual assault |
| 0:35.0 | harassment against the school. Everybody in charge panicked, |
| 0:37.7 | and it all went back to the way it was before they tried to change anything. Would give high school |
| 0:41.9 | boys evil thoughts? I wish school administrators would give up this stupid reasoning already. They can |

| 1:03.6 | the owner of the company went on a bit of a rant about negative reviews of management on a popular |
| 1:08.2 | job's website with a green logo. He demanded that we stopped posting negative reviews immediately and shamed anyone in the |
| 1:14.5 | room who had done so. |
| 1:15.7 | As you can guess, people doubled down and posted their grievances on the same day as |
| 1:19.5 | the meeting. |
| 1:20.5 | The green logo company doesn't take too kindly to that sort of behavior. |
| 1:23.5 | Seriously, they will terminate service if management is caught doing that. |
| 1:26.3 | Report it. |
| 1:27.3 | At my old company, different coworkers eventually fessed up to which reviews were theirs. |
