Another famous story was a director's son thought the $50 meal limit meant they could go shopping for whatever up to $100 a day. Got caught by the auditors expensing nunchucks and throwing stars from a weapons store.

Had an Analyst Uber from Dallas to Houston. Cost over 4K. Was SM at the time and was freaking out when I had to tell MD leading the project. Funny enough he just laughed it off. Same Analyst kept his weekly rental for over a month, and it came up to almost 15k. I wonder if he still works for ACN.
