Rule #1: Do not sacrifice your foot for the smell of crackling bacon in the morning when the grill is groundlevel.
Rule #2: Do have pepper spray, throwing stars, and nunchucks under your desk at all times for emergency situations.
Rule #3: Do not pick up the handset of your telephone too quickly in case a fellow worker has added and subtracted nickels to the handset.
Rule #4: Do not leave your cheese pita on the eye of the oven. A fire could occur.
Rule #5: Do not drive warehouse equipment unliscenced. Darryl is a large, fearless black man.
Rule #6: Be careful when stereotyping co-workers who are not participating in diversity day activities. You may get slapped.
Rule #7: Do not withhold sex from a female superior when negotiating for a raise.
Rule #8: Do not appear to flirt with Stanley's 8th grade daughter. You may encounter one of the most frightening experiences of your life, Stanley yelling at you.
Rule #9: Do not continue to drive out of loyalty to your boss after crashing into a metal pole and vomiting on your car. You may have a concussion.
Rule #10: Do not demonstrate a suicide attempt off a building and onto a trampoline or bouncy house as your visual ad for a depression seminar. In doing so you may actually succeed in killing yourself.

Feel free to add to the list! I would love to hear more office safety tips!

Rule #12: A boss and his/her subordinate should NEVER engage in any demonstration of hand-to-hand combat

Rule #13: If Dwight Schrute mentions his cousin Mose and takes you to a barn in the middle of nowhere...run or call 911 ;-)

Rule #14: Terrorists sometimes disguise themselves as IT guys. Be vigilant at all times. If you suspect anything, turn off the lights, lock the door and be very, very quiet.

Loved. All of them. Don't be an idiot? CLASSIC. Great idea Jenn. Hmm, I am certainly not as original as you lot, but a try, I suppose:

Rule #17- Avoid placing moderately top-secret manuscripts of your future films in your desk- they will be both found... and mocked.

Rule #18- Only use Wikipedia's negotiation tactics if you know how. Please.

Rule #18- Do not comment on your property manager's disability. Chances are he's not like that guy from 'Born on the Fourth of July."

That's my girl! Here's a couple of more from your old man:

Rule #20 - Bubble wrap should not be used as a makeshift cast for an appendage unless you are planning to ship off said appendage.

Rule #21 - Wedding Safety Tip: Always secure the services of a reputable wedding crasher monitor so that family members (especially elderly uncles)will not be in danger of being thrown out to wander the street.

Rule#22 Do not rent a blow up castle (even if it has a drawbridge)to catch you when you jump off the top of your office building! Note they are made for eight year olds.
