    Things you shouldn't do while bored at work...

    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. 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. "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" "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. 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..)




    OH!!!!!!!!!!!!! and use the hand sanitizer to catch our hands on fire......

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


      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.

            Well not what you said, but what you said reminded me off some funny stuff.

            We have C02 tanks at work (Soda tap)

            Trying to freeze things
            Filling ballons (lol heavy ballons.. it's amusing)
            Turning it on as people walk by and scaring the crap out of them

              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.

                  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
                  My drinking team has a paintball problem.

                    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. Yay for breaking stuff in a tiny unventilated room!!

                      FARK'ing, CL'ing, AO'ing.

                      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.
                      God....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.
