Wait until you get into a position of management. And you write very careful and clear instructions that are ignored.
For *real* fun, try working in a lab and being the one who has to write out protocols for new graduate students, undergraduate project students, and medics doing their first real lab work. 'Idiot proof' takes on a whole new urgency when people are handling radioactivity, humans tissue samples and toxic chemicals, often all at the same time.
"No, I don't think you ought to put the blood-filled used syringe in the general paper waste bin. In fact, I think it will make the cleaners very tense and unhappy."
