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?

McDonalds
Working Sat night in McDonalds getting on for ooh, best part of 20 years ago, I used to deal with the inbetweeners. Those people that crave a burger between kicking out time and getting a taxi/going to a club.
Nice lot usually and one gets to know the regulars and have a jocular rapport. One late shift, I decided to entertain them by demonstrating the principle of centripetal force by winging half a bucket of water round and round over my head.
I got a cheer. The supervisor who thought she was god, was less impressed and came over to the tills to give me a telling off in front of the customers, with a hope of boosting her sense of dominance. Though this would probably get her bollocking from management for unprofessional conduct these days.
It backfired though as a half-dozen half-pissed customers boo'd her back into her office.
I filled a big bag with fries, give it to the group and told them they'd made my day.
The supervisor stayed in the office for the last 45mins of the shift.
