'Who’s keeping track of my bowel movements?': Micromanagement backfires when the supervisor insists on monitoring the pettiest employee's bathroom breaks

Nobody likes a micromanager. Having a supervisor breathing down your neck is bound to affect productivity, yet corporate seems to insist on having a watchdog monitor each and every cubicle. They may be a necessary evil, managers, but at a certain point, shouldn't the workforce feel encouraged by their presence instead of stifled? 

While managers have a place in the office, it's certainly NOT in the employee bathroom. 

The original poster (OP) of our next tale recounts his heroic efforts to quell the micromanaging attempts in his own office. After getting scolded for using the restroom while clocked in, OP decided to call out corporate on their ridiculousness by doubling down. Keep scrolling to read how the pettiest employee in the office got his own taste of payback when he matched the energy of the most ridiculous office requests.
