I used to work in a warehouse
Warehouse work is usually mind-numbingly repetitive a lot of the time with the occasional micro-moment of excitement (Usually when one of the forklift truck guys miscalculates where the tines are and then drags out a pallet and then watches as it falls to the ground, nearly crushing the worker assigned to assist the driver. Happens more often than you'd think it would.)

Also, there was no internet. This is important, as it will often encourage people to get creative.

The times when I wasn't actually required to do anything useful, like helping people count out 240 screws of one type and 150 of another type, or throwing myself out of the way of an airborne pallet, I used to either spend wandering around the main warehouse with anyone else I could find who was a mate and who wasn't working, and we used to invent sweary phrases and the like. We also used to tell the worst jokes, like "Got any naked pictures of your girlfriend on your mobile? No? Want any?" and so on.

The other thing we used to do, which was far more fun and yet more risky, as in the sense of getting caught and being ordered to go count out 540 nuts and bolts, was to go into the many storerooms at the back, and see what you could build. There was glue, a lot of different nails, screws, nuts and bolts, washers, and other odds and sods. So you could essentially construct little stick figures and the like out of a lot of nails and some glue and some bolts.

Dull, I know, but this is in a place where there's no internet, and does have some of the most tedious work, so to me and my mates, constructing stuff was a very fun and entertaining way of passing the time.

Never work in a warehouse unless you have some sort of ultra high tolerance to boredom.

No
internet at all? You couldn't smuggle a mini wireless router into the office and connect it quietly taped behind a desk, something like a fon router running DDWRT for about a fiver.

Nope
No internet whatsoever.

This was about 3 years ago, and I was absolutely incompetent with technology, and I still am for that matter.

Then again, even if I had managed to get a mini wireless router into the office and hidden it so it wasn't destroyed in about five minutes, I wouldn't have had anything to surf it on, as the boss tended to frown on people using mobiles and the like during work time.
