Workplace Boredom
There's got to be more to your working day than loafing around the internet, says tfi049113. How do you fill those long, empty desperate hours?

At one of my older jobs...
We'd regularly commandeer the rider truck from the warehouse, which is a motorized little half fork-lift for shifting pallets about. Then we'd take it in the walk-in freezer and go mental on it. From above, I imagine it looked a lot like a game of pinball only instead of bumpers and flashing lights, there was exploding pallets of stock.
At the same place we'd also arrange several hundred packets of toilet rolls and jump onto them from a ridiculous height. I'm quite surprised no-one was ever hurt.
In the summer we'd play games of Frisbee with a modified ice-cream lid and ride giant bales of cardboard down the ramp into the warehouse yard and I found out towards the end of my time there that if you put the floor-cleaning machine on full lock one way, increased the amount of soap output and held on really tight without moving your legs, you could do an endless amount of donuts.
Occasionally, we'd do some work.
