Warehouse workers comply with a strict hair-length policy of "can't touch the collar", by wearing increasingly absurd wigs, forcing management to eventually drop the rule: 'The wigs became more and more ridiculous'

If this isn't iconic, we don't know what is…All we can say is, Sia would be proud. No, they didn't swing from any warehouse chandeliers, but we're pretty sure one of the coworkers got inspiration from her for his Wednesday Wig. After these employees are reprimanded for their long hair, a new rule of 'nothing below the collar' is implemented. But remember this was the 90s, an era of self-expression and rebellion…so they decided to listen to the new rule, but left some room for just a tad of self-interpretation…

So instead of cutting off their luscious locks, these employees decided to show up to work in the most outrageous wigs that resembled anything but natural. Rainbow hair, crazy curls, they did it all…getting increasingly stranger every day. But the most important part: They stuck to the one rule, no wig's length passed their collars…So what could their boss do? Well, as you can imagine, four months later (Still shocked it lasted that long), they were told that as long as their hair was clean and presentable… the length shouldn't be a problem…Sorry, Sia, back to the one-tone we go.
