Play the Office Game
Here's a way to spice up your office. Pick two or three colleagues and agree to play the Office Game which awards points as follows:

One Point
  • Run one lap around the office at top speed. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
  • Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
  • When they're not looking, pour most of someone's fresh cup of coffee into your mug leaving them with an inch of brew.
  • Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
  • Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
  • To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
  • While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
 
Three Points
  • Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it." Double points if you do this to a manager.
  • Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
  • Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
 
Five Points
  • At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
  • Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
  • While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
  • In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, all of you just shut up!"
  • Carry your laptop over to your colleague and ask "You wanna trade?"
  • Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it"
  • Tuck one pant leg into your sock and when queried, answer, "not now" and walk away.
