Thought this might be of interest to some people - a WWII manual on how to do your job as badly as possible, to help allied sympathiers wanting to sabotage their country's war effort.  :P

Scrolling down, the "office workers" section is particularly entertaining.

Why asshat? It was writtenas far as I can tell in the US to help train people to sabotage the German and Japanese war efforts.

Someone got the job of writing a manual to be as annoying as possible.

This is a fair and well made point that I hadn't considered!
