Time Clocks....
Back when I was working at a certain large yellow insurance company they operated a key based clocking in system that we developed a perfect system of abuse for.

Everyone had their own ticker-clock and as you turn up you put the key in the clock and turn it, thus starting the timer. Then turn it off again when you leave the office - lunch, toilet, fags etc.

Its pretty simple but we used to always stay clocked in over lunch. Extra hour each day (obviously only done on a few random days to ensure it wasnt obvious) but at the end of the month, every month, without fail you would have the maximum of 10.5 hours flex time built up. Therefore giving you 1 1/2 days extra off each month without it cutting into your (I'll admit, generous) holiday time.

Everyone did this, from the part time college kids to the managers. Everyone knew everyone else did it but no one ever mentioned it to each other. As it boosted our annual holiday up to 48 days per year (not including bank holidays etc)
