How I Skive Off WorkAdmit it. No one does any work these days. It's all looking at crappy websites with your thumb hanging over alt tab incase the boss walks over. Tell us your best methods of skiving, and any resultant incidents. (Maybe your slacking off has got someone sacked, or resulted in a large scale industrial accident.)

Do Not Feed The CustomersMy girl friend works graveyard shift at a convenience market. After-hours, customers are not allowed in the store: all commerce is carried out through a small portal.
Alcohol sales are prohibited after 10 p.m., but the clientele never remember. Night after night, they are just as surprised by the bad news as the first time they heard it.
Usually she tells them where after-hour sales are allowed and sends them stumbling off into the night, but when skivving, she prefers instead to diss the customers. She affects deafness. Or stupidity. Or "I-no-speaka-de-English." Or she turns her back and makes phone calls. Or if things really get bad, she stands up, waves her tattooed arms around, and shouts profanities.
No one commits any commerce, but since the customers have amnesia, no harm comes of it either.
