Hah. No kidding. I argued one of my old bosses into giving me 2 extra 10 minute 'reading breaks' at one of my old jobs. I was the only non-smoker on the floor, and was sick of constantly covering for someone out on a 'smoke break'. I told him that he could give me the extra 20 minutes a day (what I figured the smokers were using, being generous) or I'd really raise a stink about it with HR, and we'd see where it'd go from there.
I have to admit, I was actually pretty curious to see what sort of fuss I could have raised over at HR about it.
