Uck, you had to remind me of those times? Yick.
I remember one strange thing. (well maybe it wasn't, idk). And it isn't an Amends story...but as a
Div 6 Dir of Pub Reg, I wasn't pulling in enough income for the Org from my Division, so I was literally removed from my Post and made 'expeditor' and not allowed to be around any other Staff for a couple weeks. I had done no particular thing, nor presented low tone levels to warrant the removal. But I just did Promo and stuff and was not allowed on any financial lines whatsoever (not even to sell books). When I walked down the halls, staff turned their heads and sorta talked down at me if they had to talk to me.
I was put back on as if nothing happened within a couple weeks, but it was weird! :confused2: PES and ED were trying to find the 'WHY' ...guess I wasn't it, cuz stats went worse when they removed me.
Amends: I can't remember any stories about them.....if I can think of any, I'll post some..
I DO remember that one of the 'reasons' I was removed was that 'your case is preventing you from bringing in enough Income and you may be a detriment to the Lines so we're removing you for a few weeks'. 
Oh, but it's just all DMs fault right?
We always had somebody in lowers. It got to the point of ridiculousness. If your WDAHs were down, you immediately grabbed the mop and cleaning supplies and headed to the bathroom, because you knew your senior would be yelling at you to do exactly that anyway. Weeding, bathrooms--always big on the amends charts. Staff who were part-time and "bought" stuff to get out of liability were looked down on. Auditors took care of each other, and those with rich mommies and daddies often bought reams of paper for the rest of the auditors as part of their amends, and it was greatly appreciated. We often cleaned each others' cans.
What was really crazier was the "blow to the enemy"step. Certain segments insisted that there HAD to be danger in the step (the despite any other danger part implied to them that there HAD to be danger), and then aqt one point, it became standard to expect folks to handle another staff member who had done something similar to whatever you did to wind up in lowers as part of this step. So, you had this giant crazy army of ethics police consisting of staff members out harassing other staff in order to get through their lowers. It got completely insane. Some of us on the internship just started agreements "I'll handle you--you handle me shhhhhh!" because we didn't want to be one of the insane ones breaking into houses and screaming at people. Had a Senior C/S who thought all f/ns were supposed to look exactly like the film, so there were always a couple of us working out of lowers--and we were responsible for the paid WDAHs and there was a lack of pcs which also equaled MEST work. Yep. Good times.
As the title says:
What is the craziest, dumbest , unreasonable, EXPENSIVE ammends you ever did or heard of?
How did it feel to run around the org like an idiot and get signatures to get you back into the group?
I know one person who got offloaded from the Sea Org, had 1500 hours of amends to do + the hefty freeloader as a result of his Comm Ev.I've heard of more than one person having to do more than 400 hours of amends plus more on their liability formula as part of their Freeloader deal.
