OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *on the floor laughing to death* that was so funny!!!!!! that was seriously funnyyy and its not good the start laughting you head off in the middle of a silent class... man that was wierd..
haha. ive done some of those. and one i know from experience: if you work at a barber shop, dont waltz around and sing Sweeny Todd songs in front of the customers (yes, i know thats not anime).
When a customer asks about the price of something, don't tell them that "It's over 9000!!!" Unless they are buying some DBZ paraphanelia, in which case it is perfectly acceptable.
Do not announce "Screw the rules, I have money!" When working the cash register.
When you are asked why you want to work here during your job interview, do not tell them you want money. (I didn't follow this rule! ...Sadly)
Tip #54
Despite statements and personal proclamations to the contrary, cakes do indeed exist and are not lies. Management will get suspicious if cake sales have hit an all time low.
Tip #55
No matter how many times you listen and/or sing "Still Alive" at work, your Weighted Companion Cube will not resurrect from euthinization. Face it, YOU ARE A FRATRICIDAL MANIAC!!!!
This was brilliant. I'd sing 'Otome no Inori' a few times when I worked at a college cafeteria, but I stopped lest others think I was singing some of that Britney Spears candy-pop nonsense that was so prevalent at the time. Other suggestions from my experience:
Shouting the names of Slayers magical attacks prior to serving in volleyball will not always help your aim or striking power, but it'll definitely get you looked at.
When you do a slideshow report in your college English class on the benefits of writing fanfiction, only select pictures films and series that people know. Telling people that Slayers is basically D&D on crack with a little Star Wars thrown in for kicks isn't going to drive anyone to watch it.
If someone else uses anime in a college class report and says something incorrect or that you disagree with, don't yell out your opinion right in class. Disagreeing that Zelgadis may have once been a bad guy aloud in class isn't helpful.
Rough drafts of your fanfic (but with the names changed) are perfectly suitable assignments for your college creative writing class.
When a bunch of trick-or-treters show up at your door in Naruto costumes and you recognize their characters, refrain from rolling your eyes when they're surprised at it. (Hey, I knew who you guys were before you did.)
HAha! XD This is great. It really is. Why are there almost no comments for this thing?! COMMENT!!!!!! Kusho. Haha...lolz. LOLZ. I said lohlz...XD
Lesse....something else? Do not scream out curses in Japanese, or attempt to Karate-chop no Jutsu someone's head....Thass all I gots! Good luck, and keep at it, dammit! XD
This was just fantastic, I want to see some more ~ Thumbs up ~ I really do these are so inventive. Strange that manga isn't allowed and I have to admit I have taken to bowing to my supervisor at the museum ~ Coughs ~ I shall have to stop that, is listening to Japanese music and singing along also bad? I do that at work as well ~ Cracks up ~ Really well done and I sincerely hope there is a part 2!
this was fricken awesome. as an otaku that hasn't starting working yet, this was a great heads up (because as silly as it sounds, i could see myself doing half of those things!) lol very entertaining!! ^^

That was lame, but 'Haha' or 'Lol' don't really express it.
'Don't do the Haruhi dance in public'. I know that from experience...T.T

Amendment: 42 tops both.
And you forgot to add "Shichibukai," "Dogs of the Military" and "Brigade Chiefs" to 32.

9 and 46 make me happy. :D
So do the rest, but not quite as notably.

@Allamorph:
Ditto. I've totally done the roll of shrink-wrap as Megaman.
I also made Zangetsu out of cardboard, a broomstick, and packing and hockey tape.
Let's add that:
52. Do not construct giant cardboard Buster Swords, Zanpakutou, or shuriken in the back room when you should be condensing the bays.

48. Attempting to play Pooh-sticks by dropping things into customers’ carts is not recommended.
(^_^)
51. Do not use the large tubing from the over-sized plastic wrapper to pretend you are Mega Man.
Did that already. And Mega-Man was suggested to me by the awesome forty-year-old of awesome. (I was going for Samus Aran's long-lost brother.)

Sweet! I've got a few things:
-Never sing the Trogdor song, even if a customer comes into the shop with a Trogdor t-shirt on.
-Eavesdropping is never nice, not even if the customers in question are speaking Japanese and you want to practice your translating skills.
-Wearing anime-related clothing to work is going to get you about 99.9% odd stares and 0.1% nods of recognition. It may also scare customers off.
Unfortunately, I know all these things from experience.
I'm sure I've got more, but I can't think of them right now. ^^;

XD I love it!
Also...never run around saying "Tobi is a good boy!" in public.
I did that. Got weird stares at school from everybody but my friends.
I've probably done a few things on that list.
