Ok as the title suggests, post stupid things that you have done while at work, bored and usually braindead atm. I will start it off...

I am cleaning my desk up with some 95% alcohol in a spray bottle. I was watching blaze's ND vs CDR practice video. Suddenly I had the urge to attempt to walk the spray bottle of alcohol. :rolleyes: Not the brightest idea, however I figured, what the hell, it's not like I can hurt anything... I get the spray bottle adjusted just right; adjust the trigger spring tension, cut back the slack, adjust the nozzle just right to spray a fine string of alcohol. Finally, after about 15 minutes wasted fine tuning my trigger, I get it set and ready to roll. Step back, take aim behind a stack of boxes, and start snapping. It was all going well, untill my boss walks in all unexpected and stuff. (he didn't even freaking knock... bastard) "Nate, what the hell are you doing..."... .... .... How am I suppose to explain this...??? I just stood there, like a moron, trying to make up a story on the spot, as to why I was laying waste to my office with alcohol. :confused: :( "I... uh... was trying to fix this spray bottle. I didn't want to have to take out of the company funds to buy a new one. You know, with the existing one being fixable, that would be a waste of company profits" :rofl: "Uhuh..." I totally lucked out, he proceded to walk out of the room and head on home, as if the entire incident didn't even happen. Well, I thought so, untill I found out I had ruined some company documents I needed tomorrow. :cry: That and now I have this terrible sore throat. Feels like I drank some bleeche for breakfast :( .

Incase you were wondering... I was ripping on that spray bottle. I had alcohol all over everything. Think I was hitting around 1/2oz / second. Drained an entire 8oz bottle in a little under 16 seconds. Sad thing, I would probably do it all over knowing just as well an outcome.

Share up... retarded stuff at work...

lets see... try and walk on the pwerwasher trigger..... walk on the spray bottle trigger, PLAY with the squirt bottle on the field, imaginary ball, do high jumps over the mega brick, run relays, slide on the turf, hack a paintball off our masks, oh and shoot each other in da butt if someone lets us borrow a gun (mostly ref's playing that day..)


:D :cool:

Retarded stuff at work? Oh boy.. how much time do you have? :cool:


Smoking (Illegal)
Drinking (Illegal)
Sleeping (We have a storage room, we 'acquired' some inflatable beds from the general store..heh)
Closing for 10 minutes. (Was really busy.. and I didn't feel like doing more work so I closed so we could catch up)
Food fights (Wooo)
Bleaching the back of people's shirts (This one is mean!)
Putting things in people's drinks (Made a freind puke once)
Putting things in people's food
Stealing crates of drinks
Stealing boxes of food
Stealing tubs of icecream
Taking a hour 'break' to go for a quick swim and dance with some girls (hehe, I got in trouble for this one..)
Taking a half hour to take a shower afterwards (showed back at work covered in sand for kicks...which is half the reason I got in trouble lol)

Really.. the list could go on. For about another 10 pages. We did stupid stuff everyday. Every minute.

we have a can of compressed air for dusting laying around, a coworker used it till it froze up and I explained why it happened.... then I decided to turn it up side down and spray it to see what would happen... I ended up spraying my hand, only to see it freeze up nicely. that killed a good ten minutes.

I've made these nitrogen bombs - take a plastic pop bottle, add a little water, add a little liquid nitrogen, cap it and throw!!! hahahaha had one guys ears ringing for a good week.
Lucked out though - before I got in too much hot water over it - the guy got fired for trying to buy hookers ( undercover cops) with nitrous oxide. :nono:

I was a shift supervisor for an electrical supply warehouse we used to:
Have pallet jack races through the warehouse
Javelin throws with 8ft flourecent bulbs (they collaps on themselves great explosion)
Doughnuts in the parking lot with propane forklift
Bubble wrap bat fights
Many many more stupid things.

Now my current job if I get bored I just go home

Javelin throws with 8ft flourecent bulbs (they collaps on themselves great explosion)Those things are so much fun!!! In an adventure to a closed-down prison (some would call it "breaking and entering," or "trespassing on federal property"), we found a trailer full of a BUNCH. Collected around 50, stood them all up in a corner of a room together, and threw a fire extinguisher at it. INCREDIBLY cool cloud and other effects.

That night I found out they contain mercury and all sorts of fun stuff that are bound to cause me great pain and suffering down the road. :tard: Yay for breaking stuff in a tiny unventilated room!!

Not sure which is worse, although trying to explain to your boss what you're looking at only to have him say "ahh, paintball... Is that where that thing on your neck came from?" is always amusing.

well, a couple of years ago when a was just a newb and very new to the sport
i wanted to find out more about the sport, its history, culture, markers and gear...etc.
i worked for a fairly large semi conductor company making motherboards and such...well since i didnt have internet at my home at the time... i figure i would use company time and property(computer) to answer my questions about paintball.

surfing the web, i went and save pages, articles, pictures apon pictures of paintball and was ready to print them up before i get caught.. so i printed ever page i saved...close to 50 or so.
went to the local printer but nothing came out?? mmm
went back and check the properties on the printer...printed again..nothing
ah i said oh well
seconds right after i shut the pc down several executives upstairs yelling "what the hell is this Sh^@$^#$!!"
eveyone had gathered around several printers printing out load of paintball stuff
and the boss was pissed and wanted to fire who did it

moral of the story: use someone elses computer...but check which printer its goin to print at

If they have no way of finding out where the pages came from you need to photoshop pictures of all the executives having gay sex with each other, and other perverted things (S&M, bondage, beastiality, etc), faces on monkeys, hitlar, etc then print it on their printer :)

you know those contain mercury right?!?!?

Each one contains less than a drop.... around 1-2mm^c Less than the average thermometer ;). A one time exposure isn't dangerous, especially to such a small amount. BTW, all neon tubes that use argon or H-gas have mercury in them. Neon tubes (signs) have more mercury in them than the florescent tubes (used for standard lighting). Don't worry about it, you'll live.

Walmart stockroom, there was these two Honda "mini bikes" in claims, battery powered and said they could operate with up to 160lbs (we're close enough), the claims tag said they were returned because they went too fast for the customers child. Now the backroom is shaped like a rectangle with skids of freight all around the edge, and an island type steel rack in the middle, for more freight, so me and my buddy decided to try out the bikes, they worked, so we had a little race around the back room until I hit a skid and knocked it over.

Turns out there's cameras in the back.

50, well... it wasn't a smart thing to do, but I don't hink you'll have any problems. I wouldn't worry about it.

I worked in a neon shop and handled mercury almost every day. Its not the horrible toxic metal that everyone thinks it is. Your parents probably played with mercury in school (I know my physics teacher did). Sure you have to be careful with it, especially if you work around it so much, but its not as bad as you think. I heard of a guy who worked in an other neon shop and was very careless with the mercury, didn't clean up spills unless they were bad, stuff like that... He got tested for murcury, and his body's mercury level was barely above average, even after years of being careless with it.

I would have been worried more about the flourescent powder in them, I don't know if its particularly unhealthy, but I wouldn't go around breathing the stuff in.

Apparently you can't seem to fathom how much alcohol was layed out...I went through probably 20 oz of it. At one point I was thinking about making some type of quick loader ... :rolleyes:

LMAO I so screw with the new guys... especially the transfers. We got this guy from vegas in last month. Every week I had him convinced he was fired. Then one day the boss was actually pissed at him and he didnt believe me... :rofl:

I have done half of what is on the other list.

Try this one when you are at a department store... specifically a radioshack during the holidays... Find a fairly high floor stack and superman into. Get up and walk out like nothing happened. I did this last year. They had some cordless phone tower stack. Just walked up to it and when I got about 5 feet away, I took off and nailed it. :rofl: Stood up and walked away. They were all asking "WTH?? are you ok???" just ignore the sales people and continue to walk out the door, never say a word and keep a straight face. :rofl: Have someone film it for bonus points...

You can also try the accidental trip and fall into the Igo spinner. Just make sure you knock it all the way down. They are usually by the front door so that is a huge plus.

Go and get one of their cans of air and tell the sale associate you need to demo it. Before he can say something rip off the tab and start taking out prices tags, products, anything you can reach. Hell 10 bonus points if you flip the bottle upside down and freeze the associates hand. :rofl:
