Alt: my first expense claim at a new job was for a course I went on
I claimed for travel, hotel, meals - and putting my cat in a kennel for the week.

My then-boss signed without apparently reading it and it was only when it went to finance that someone finally said "hang on..."

I argued that it was an expense I wouldn't have incurred if not for the course.

I got it - but I suspect because my boss had told finance he'd agreed it with me, in order for him to avoid appearing like he signed anything put in front of him.
