Eat chocolate Gemma!

Or if you want you can phone up the list of companies I have to change my address with. It's really exciting - honestly!

Question Author

chocolate is not a bad idea!

i dont mind calling some companies for you its better than sitting her doing zip!

excellent, that leaves me more time to continue doing nothing.

What was the name of that friend that you haven't been in contact for ages?...I can't remember her name just now...email her - she'd love to hear from you.

Also, make a list of things that you hate about your current job and make sure you avoid those aspects in your next one.

Question Author

i might make a start on that list now!

Seeing as im bored most of the time i havent got that many friends that i havent emailed!

Think of some practical jokes you can do on your last day at the office, after all they cant sack you for it.

I.E.

1) fairy liquid in the kettle, the next time it boils it turns into a bubble machine!

2) put gelatin down the toilet at the end of the day, by the morning it will have set and the toilet wont flush unless you put boiling water down it.

3) Subscribe to 'Free porn' on your boss's e-mail

4) Ask a friend who works in a shop to give you some of those anti-theft magnetic strips and put one in everybodys handbag/briefcase, every shop they enter will trigger an alarm.

5) Put 'Deep Heat Gel' on the toilet seat. the next person to use it gets a warm welcome!

6) replace the sugar bowl with salt.

7) wipe shoe polish over the telephone receivers in reception (matching the colour of the handset)

 

If you want more i know hundreds.... ;-)

I want more!!! They're great!
I did have an email which i seem to have erased much to my dissappointment with about 50 office dares on, the only one i remember is to do a lap of your office hmmm not sure my work collegues would approve but if you that bored.....
The only one I ever did that worked was with a guy who looks at the keyboard when he types. I swapped the M and N keys over. It's so funny to watch as the confusion sets in.

Excellent ideas Bob A Job!

I must write them down - you never know!

ok then,

Find an office door that opens inwards (with someone inside), using cellotape and newspaper seal up the door and leave a gap at the top. Then fill the space between the seal with crumpled paper. when the person opens the door it all falls in.

If someone locks their office on their day off empty a tub of talcum powder in front of the door and using a hair dryer, blow it under the door seal. clean up outside and they wont know until they get inside that it has snowed on everything.

Cellotape caps (used in toy guns) to the wheels of a workmates swivel chair and they roll about it will make them jump.

Set other peoples screensavers as insults to their boss. on a 15 minute timer. the wont realize until they are on their lunchbreak and everyone else in the office see's it first.

send a raunchy email from someone else's terminal when they leave the room, and then CC it to the whole department.

Take a standard e-mail from you boss and forward it back to them. before clicking on send, go back and edit the original e-mail with comments like 'hate my F%&ing job' & 'useless Cr&py company', saying at the top. Did you really mean to send this to the entire office?

Write a note saying 'IM NOT COMING BACK' THE VOICES IN MY HEAD TELL ME TO DO BAD THINGS' and leave it in plain view on a desk while someone is on lunch.

Get somebody else to arrange a whipround for someones birthday make sure they get cards balloons etc. Only its not their birthday.

If there is a radio playing in the office. start rumours by sending in romantic requests in the names of your workmates.  

oh and another one, if 2 desks are opposite, swap the monitor cables over on thier work desks. they will spend hours trying to fix it.
You little devil BAJ - Where ever do you find these ideas? I've just printed them all off - thanks!
