    No fair. When I'm bored at work they tell me off for setting traps round the office.

    Yep, at an old job we had a digital printing setup for signage in a warehouse unit. We use to make mortars out of the tubes the paper came on and aerosol can spray for propellant. We could clear a 50ft high treeline from 20ft with a wad of bubble wrap and screwed up paper.

    HR had a little word about that one too.

    The plastic rails from hanging files will take up to 10 rubber bands for that "full-auto" rubberband gun ... - I used to work a 5 shift system in a computer room of a commercial bank in Brussels - playing "hunt the operator" through the blacked out office block was one of the best parts of the various night shifts.
    The typists could not understand how all their rubberbands ended up behind cupboards, on top of the window blinds, behind the computer etc...
    It took something like 20 of the biggest bands to launch a tangerine the length of the typing pool....

    In a previous job we played indoor cricket, in the loading bay, at the end of each day...the proviso being that all stock was away, orders picked and labelled for the first van run of the next day etc.

    One day the area director turned up unannounced...we asked him if he wanted to bat or field!

    He never turned up unannounced again...

    There not all that bad. Was sexually assaulted by one of them at the Christmas doo the other year (is it assault if you enjoy it?). Good job too as it means she can't discipline me for sexual harassment. I do get away with murder.

    Very nice work. That's a bit too delicate for me.
