The most childish thing you've done as an adult
Davros' Grandad confesses: On visiting my ex-wife's house, I wiped my bum on the toothbrush belonging to the bloke she ran off with. At least, I thought it was his toothbrush.

I work for a certain supermarket (who've threatened us all with the sack if we talk about them on the interweb)
though I'd like to see them try going through b3ta rather than facebook.
Anyway. My job stacking shelves is boring and pants and moronic but has plenty of opportunities to slack off. Ever asked a supermarket minion to fetch you something, they disappear out the back and don't come back for ten, fifteen, twenty minutes?
We poke holes in empty crisp boxes and follow managers around the warehouse, sinking down whenever they look around for us.
We have punt races using brooms and trolleys to race each other across the warehouse.
We have fencing matches using rolls of christmas/birthday/insert hallmark holiday wrap and then have judging competitions to see who inflicted the best slap marks.
We hide in the cardboard cages and leap out at each other.
We get the blue dollies that the green trays come on and have races in which we scooch along the floor using our feet to propel us. When that bores we go into the office, take the ancient print feed ream paper and some sellotape and twist it up into lances so we can have jousting matches.
We break out of code fruit and vegetables off each other -- celery and cucumbers are fantastic, btw., though they do sting a bit their *crack* as they hit your mate's head is brilliant.
What? Oh no, love, we're right out of those biscuits you wanted, sorry.

Point of Note...
...unless it is specifically written into a contract you actually signed (and even then it's dubious because it's an 'unreasonable expectation') you can't be sacked for posting whatever you like on the web. The exception to this is if you actually use the company name in a 'derogatory manner' (this counts as gross negligence, which is actually the only real reason you can be 'summarily dismissed'.) So don't post your company name and you'll be fine.
If they DO sack you, expect a nice, large settlement from them at the hearing for unfair dismissal.
