» Awesome Sickies
I used to hate my last job, as I had hardly any work to do,
and was the only person from my department who worked at the local office. (Manager 250 miles away).
I never used to take sickies, but I would go in early, hang my jacket on my chair, turn my computer on, and then go out for the day, and only come back to the office if someone rang my mobile.
My favourite incident was doing DIY at home, balancing on a 2 inch joists, above a ceiling I'd just demolished, covered in plaster dust and having a mobile phone conversation with my manager, telling him I was far too busy at the moment to take any new projects on.

The "Next Customer Please" Game
Two rounds of this game, every time you visit the supermarket.
It's you versus the other customers in the queue.
Round 1 - when unloading your shopping from the basket or trolley, try not to place the 'Next Customer Please' sign in front of your shopping. Making the person in front do it is considered 'winning'.
Round 2 - do not put a 'Next Customer Please' sign after your shopping. If the person in the queue behind you does it themselves, then you win.

» Breakin' The Law
I fought the law... and I won
I was cycling home from a friends house pissed. On the pavement. With no lights.
Stopped by a copper, who tells me off for 'drunk in charge', 'riding on pavement' and 'no lights'. It's a fair cop...
Instead of arresting me, he lets the air out of my tyres, tells me to walk home, gets in his car smiling, and drives off again.
Luckily, I'd only just left my mate's house, so I walked back 100 yards, rang doorbell, borrowed a pump, and within minutes was breaking the law again...

Keeping the telesales person on the line.
If you are not in a hurry, it is your duty to play this game. The idea is that anyone who phones you with an unsolicited offer, must be kept busy as long as possible for two reasons: 1- The bastard company who made them phone you have to pay wages by the hour. 2- You might save someone who is busy from getting a call.
Some tactics to start you off:
1/ "I no speakee good english."
2/ "I am partially deaf. Can you repeat that?"
3/ "I am insane. Are you my mother?"
4/ "I'll just go and get the homeowner." (Leave phone off hook, and go back to whatever you were doing)
5/ "Yes, I'm really interested."
6/ "Mumble mumble"
7/ "I'm going to break your script. What's the weather like where you are?"
(or combinations of the above...)
My best is only 3 minutes 26 seconds.
