The company wanted more details in an employee’s expense reports, so came up with some interesting taxi descriptions for him » TwistedSifter

The ability to spend at work is a huge benefit, but it can also be a big drag on the butt.

And if the people doing the approval enjoy micromanaging, it can quickly become boring.

This guy decided to prove his point by being playful, and hey, at least he was having a good time.

Check out the details!

This is a small MC, but:

Our company-wide expense reporting system previously required provenance for taxi rides; a goal; and a receipt. This is all reasonable, of course.

Seems pretty normal so far.

But then it also needed “description”.

What exactly are they looking for people to describe? It was a car…?

When I first saw this, I stared at it for a while, then shrugged and wrote “Yellow car, light on roof.”

Exactly what I would have done!

There was no question.

Ok, so it’s clear that no one cares?

After that I became more creative and used things like “hamster mobile”. Still nothing.

Hey! In a city? You never know!

Eventually I got bored and just started putting “x”.

Sometimes it’s the little things that get us through the day.

Let’s see what Reddit has to say about it.

Reddit immediately wanted to participate in this brainstorming session.

And some admitted that they appreciate a good laugh while dealing with these reports.

Others cheered on the worker and said the pop culture vehicles should move on.

This is such a silly case of malicious compliance.

I bet most of us would happily participate if given the chance.
