A strange administrative regulation

Are you working for a company? Have you ever read your company's administrative regulations?  Does your company have some strange rules? My company prohibits having a skin head. I am not sure how they judge if it's a naturally bald head or a shaved skin head.

Here are some strange administrative regulations which I found on the Internet.
Prohibit using Japanese fan
(well I have no idea, I guess it's annoying when someone is flapping it. maybe)

Prohibit knee-length boots.
(ah.. not sure why,  it's just a shoes.)

Women must wear panty stocking.
(umm natural leg is too sexy?)

A piece of bread and a bottle of milk are supplied when you work over 2 hours or less.
(I don't know this regulation is carried or just a written rule.)

Three pieces of bread for working overtime.
(I have no idea, why some companies want to supply breads for overtime meals!)

You can't work naked or half naked.
(Someone worked naked? Why they have to write such a rule.)

Then I found a company which has a strange regulation. An employnee who is late for the job five times has to wear a strange costume the whole day while working. Look at this page.  Some red guy was working there. They said it was not a party or special day and because other employees knew why he was wearing it, everybody gave him a chilly reaction. This company has other strange systems too. You can see their office with live camera and you can check their physical status on this page. They say the status is not a self-assessment, but some judgement program tells it. Hmm maybe they are waering a blood pressure sensor band?? not sure :-)

My boss used to work at a company that didn't allow "toe cleavage." That would rule out shoes that show any part of the toes, even where they meet the rest of the foot!

Hi Clair
yes, they are chotto ijiwarui. But the U.S companies do not strict for lating job? Usually we have to pay some from salary.

いじわるね？If you are late five times, then you have to dress up as Kamen Rider for the whole day? That wouldn't be allowed in America. Your supervisor would speak to you about it. Maybe that person had a good reason, like he had to take a family member to the doctor or something.

During "cool-biz" summer, I think making women wear pantyhose is harsh. The offices I have worked in here are extremely cold (70 degrees F, 21 degrees C) during the summer. Fortunately, I do not have to wear skirts to my job; network engineering often requires duties that are impractical to do while wearing a skirt and heels.

My job has a few strange rules, but not as strange as these. I had to buy a new car so I could continue to get the "maintenance reimbursement". We have to drive a lot to get to our worksites. So, I had to retire an 8 year old Toyota Camry for a new Toyota Prius. That is an example of one of our company's strange rules.
