How to Have Fun at Work

Here are some ideas to have fun at work:

• Torture customers. Keep them on hold for hours, give them misinformation, overcharge their credit card, and send them the wrong merchandise. This happens all the time anyway. Enjoy.
• Pose as the top sales representative in your company and speak offensively to customers.
• Misquote the boss to co-workers. You'll be surprised at what you can get them to do.
• Find a large, angry co-worker who works with a small, meek co-worker, Whenever you pass their cubicle, bean the big buy with a paper ball from the little guy's general direction. Not much is more fun than this.
• Find an older co-worker. Visit his cube and pass gas silently. Everyone will blame the stench on him. Hilarious!
• Tell a customer they have won a large prize, then hang up on them as you are explaining how they are to collect. Make sure not to identify yourself!
• Ship customers' orders to random places, like Guam. (This also happens all the time.)
• Hack into co-workers' workstations and rearrange key files.
• While your cube-mate isn't looking, tape their coffee to their keyboard tray. When they pull out the tray - bingo! A lap full of java.
• Send your male cube-mate a Powerpoint show of nude males from an anonymous email account when you know the boss is coming to see him momentarily, then watch as he tries to explain himself.
• Exchange a co-worker's wife photo with another co-worker's wife photo while both are out. See how long it takes for either of them to notice.
• Break into the candy machine and replace all the contents with various laxatives.
• Replace your cube-mate's right-handed mouse with a left-handed mouse.
• Steal the ball out of a co-worker's mouse. Do they know keyboard commands? Methinks not. And where can you get mouse balls anyway?
• Plant a Powerpoint presentation in the conference room presentation computer of your cube-mate shoving drinking straws up his nose, or really doing anything moronic. Set it to play continuously...
• When you know your co-worker is going to be late, disguising your voice as your co-worker's call up the boss from your co-workers extension, and ask them to come over right away
• Break into the soft drink machine and replace everything with beer
• Give two of your immature cube-mates squirt guns. Wait five minutes and then ask your boss to meet you in your cube.
• Wear a clown suit to work
• Send a company-wide email saying that the company's stock has just plummeted on the stock market. Then send another email with the words, "Just kidding."
• When it is time for your annual review, wait about five minutes before going into the boss's office. Before you go in, attach a long tail of toilet paper to your shoe.
• Send indecent suggestions by email from a male co-worker's workstation to a female co-worker who is preferably a relative of the boss
• Whenever you have to leave your desk, travel by pogo stick
• Write fiction between tasks. Then begin to incorporate co-workers and customers into your fiction. Then write yourself in as ruler over all of them. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
• Every few minutes, fire a paper airplane across the office
• When your boss is presenting to the board, walk in on the presentation and beg for a crust of bread
• When your boss introduces a new employee, get up from your desk and give the new guy and your boss a big hug
• Suggest to a co-worker that the boss finds them attractive. Then suggest to the boss that your co-worker is a stalker
• Run into the office wearing camouflage fatigues and carrying a toy assault rifle and shout, "Is anybody going to the Post Office?"
