The only one here so far not likely to immediately get you in trouble is the one about setting calendar reminders. By default, everyone with access to the event gets the alert with the event reminder.
Also, just being stupidly stringent with your time logging. 10:03-10:17 Gas, 8.9gal, $XX.XX to start pushing for (increased) mileage compensation.
Log every minute you go over time. It's a wonderful way to make managers twitchy.
Also, there are certain things you could reasonably expect them to want logged with this that legally they are not allowed to ask for. Not "Took a big fat steamer", what are you, 12? But "Bathroom" 1:10-1:15, and dare them to challenge it on the record. If they do, take it up the chain "I felt pressured to include this information in my time logs and now I'm being judged for it". That should raise alarm bells with anyone up above them.
Most of all, chill out. Just keep your shit in order and keep moving on. No reason to jeapordize your employment for pettiness.
Yeah. I really need to learn how to let things go and stop being petty, but I just can't stand her stupid lying face! "Share your calendar so we can find you if there's an emergency." Well, you could call me or you could use the multi million dollar emergency alert system that i sign into at every building.
I mean... no, you don't. As long as you can manage possible repercussions... I say be petty. As petty as you can be while consequence free. Go nuts with it and enjoy it. Share key events with trusted loved ones and they may offer useful strategic suggestions.
Also, managers' entire jobs consist in lying, manipulating, coercing, dehumanizing, snitching, and gathering info/planning around the former. A good manager is a usually a bad human being (either happily or though fear/incentives), and a good human being is usually a bad manager.

If you're not in the clock, then there is no emergency you could respond to.
I don't understand this "work ethics" of US americans to be available 24/7. Just don't and you don't habe to complain vor be petty.
