Office games

Lester · Nov 29, 2003

I am now a worker bee, suffering under the jackboot of corporate fascism. Huzzah - up the worker! So in between actual work I need to infect my fellow drones with irreverant distractions to:

a: break the cycle of work-sleep-work-sleep-death lifestyle ratracey that is employment
b: become more popular at work*

* Not necessarily in that order.

So have you any office games you can share?

I invented "pooh prints" the other day.

All the contestants open a word doc with a big picture of a poo on it and their name. They step away from the desk and on the given command, rush to their keyboard and attempt to print the document (all to the same printer obviously). The first poo out of the printer wins - you could have bets on it. Obviously pointyheads are not allowed as they mess with print queuing and take the fun out of it.

Simple steps to maintaining your insanity level (not all work related, but many are):

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing cars. See If They Slow Down.

2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't Disguise Your Voice.

3. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, Ask If They want Fries with that.

4. Put Your Bin On Your Desk And Label It "In."

5. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks. Once Everyone Has Gotten over their Caffeine Addictions, Switch To Espresso.

6. In The Memo Field Of All Your Cheques, Write "For chemical weapons"

7. Finish All Your sentences with "In Accordance With The Prophecy."

8. Don't use any punctuation

9. As Often As Possible, Skip Rather Than Walk.

10. Ask People What they are thinking. Laugh Hysterically After They Answer.

11. Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is "To Go."

12. Sing Along At The Opera.

13. Go To A Poetry Recital And Ask Why The Poems Don't Rhyme

14. Put Mosquito Netting Around Your Work Area And Play Tropical Sounds All Day.

15. Five Days In Advance, Tell Your Friends You Can't Attend Their Party Because You're Not In The Mood.

16. Have Your Co-workers Address You By Your Wrestling Name, Rock Hard.

17. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream "I Won!, I Won!"

18. When Leaving The Zoo, Start Running Towards The Parking Lot, Yelling "Run For Your Lives, They're Loose!!"

19. Tell Your Children Over Dinner. "Due To The Economy, We Are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go."

Do you have lifts at work?
I used to work on the 12th floor, so this lot came in handy.

1. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.

2. Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

3. Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

4. Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "Hey! That's mine!"

5. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

6. Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

7. Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.

8. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.

9. Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally. (If you're a Lord of the Rings fan, silently whisper gollum, gollum.)

10. Swat at flies that don't exist.

11. Tell people that you can see their aura.

12. Call out, "Group Hug!", and then enforce it.

13. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

14. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

15. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You're one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

16. Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

17. Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

18. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

19. Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on."

20. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space.

lol, you're fucking hilarious, Custodian

ECA · Nov 30, 2003

Surely you mean the bloke who wrote them and put them somewhere for Custodian to copy and paste?

Try the making a cup of coffee game Lester, thats a game you were always shite at :eek:

Lester · Nov 30, 2003

The combination of Rat and Fungus always put me off going into "THAT" room.

adams901 · Nov 30, 2003

making the coffee is quite a good game to play in our office.

As we are all lazy bastards none of us want to get up and actually make a cup, instead we all sit there coughing and commenting on how dry the air is.

We used to flip a coin to see who would make it, but it always ended with cries of "you cheat". Then someone had the great idea of bringing in a playstation 2, now we all do time trials on Rally Championship, with the slowest making the drinks.

One of the other ways to drop a hint was to put all the coffee cups onto someone's desk when they left the room.

Lol farking class. If only, eh?

caLLous · Nov 30, 2003

I'm not gonna paste all of this, so go there and read it instead. It's very very very very very old, and no-doubt glen'ish, but it's almost appropriate and pretty funny.

Custodian · Nov 30, 2003

44. See who's online. Send a total stranger a talk request. Talk to them like you've known each other all your lives. Hang up before they get a chance to figure out you're a total stranger.

And lo... IRC is born

Ah we just flick elasticbands at each other for most of the morning until someone snaps and goes and gets the breakfasts in!
Then in the afternoon, we lazily flick more elsastic bands at each other, until knocking off.
