Thinking Outside The Box Regulations

(I’m opening boxes with my manager.)

Manager: *looks over at me* “Hey, [My Name], do you know the safety regulations for opening boxes?”

Me: “Yeah. Use a box cutter, only have as much blade revealed as needed, and cut away from yourself.”

Manager: “And you are?”

Me: “Using scissors and cutting towards myself.”

Manager: “…”

Me: “Just because I know the safety regulations doesn’t mean I’m going to follow them.”
