'No one wants to look [at] hairy man-legs': Dude complies with new workplace summer dress code by shaving his legs

If there's one thing that every organization on this earth loves… it's stupid strict rules that have no business existing in the first place—usually coming from a middle manager who decided to write and enact a new policy without ever asking others with more insight and experience for their input. Bonus space on the bingo card here for this manager also being someone either freshly promoted on a power trip or brand new to the organization and trying to look like they're doing an effective job at managing.

This story has all of these qualities, a dumb new policy being enacted by a clueless manager who wanted to have things their way despite having no clue what it was they were really doing. Luckily, this worker was able to maliciously comply with their dress code… ensuring that the manager never had to look at hairy man legs ever again.

Read on for this brilliant malicious compliance. Next, check out this new dress code that drove workers to band together and wear the same ugly shirt.
