Yes!

I'm a VP of my company. I have no qualms about asking for or approving a reasonable exception. It's so well established at my company that you can break any spending rule if it doesn't cost any working time and you document and pay any extra cost yourself that I neither approve those cases in advance nor get them approved in advance. If you think a rule is stupid, talk to me. If you get caught falsifying documentation, it doesn't matter whether the rule was stupid--go clean out your desk. Qui vole un oeuf, vole un boeuf.
