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.)

Oh, them were the days..I used to work as a trolley gimp for Makro. Six hours out in the car park, occasionally shifting a trolley if it was in a main road or something, shooting the shit with the others. The things people left behind were odd and fun, such as a Boney M greatest hits CD, or a big huge box of Cadbury's Fingers..
Next job, petrol station. Never left the till [I was till 1, usually] so never did anything beyond ringing in goods and sassing customers. Oh, and when a friend of mine got put on the night shift in the same place, I brought my Gamecube down and we played that. And formatted some PCs for easy money.
Now, I'm in a bar, and I do repent me of my ways and actually work. Though I've started an underground skiver protest; all the smokers get fag breaks, but we non-smokers don't. So I've instigated a 'pint of water' break, where I'll go get a pint of water, and drink it in the staff room. Lovely.
