» Workplace Boredom
Pegging
One of my workfriends devised a game whilst drunk at a house party involving clothes pegs.. he waited for his mates to pass out and then placed clothes pegs on them, then waited for them to find them.
At xmas time our workload in the lab goes down and we get bored easily, so one trip to the pound shop later and we started "pegging" our work colleagues.
Once everyone knows about the game it becomes a good way of inducing paranoia as everyone becomes afraid to turn thier backs on each other for more than a split second
the rules are simple.
place a peg on one of your colleagues whilst they are distracted.
don't get caught.
initially it was easy as they weren't expecting it, it has now become so wide spread that everyone is at it, (admittedly it has died down now the work has picked up)
It was quite satisfying when one of them had three pegs on her lab coat for about 3 hours without noticing until someone from outside the department asked what the pegs were about. Thinking they were refering to the peg in her pocket she explained. The reply came
"not that one those three on your back"

» Accidental innuendo
Innuendo containing chemicals
Firstly let me set the scene. I work in a hospital lab, i was making up some solutions when one of my colleague's was looking for acetone, however she found it before she could finish her question. This resulted in her asking...
"Do You have some ass"
to which i replied
"Yes I do have some ass"
Childish i know, but impossible to ignore
(Hooray that was my 1st QOTW answer)

» Mums
Fancy a Brew?
My Mum was convinced when making Tea (the drink not the evening meal) at my house that my kettle boiled water hotter than it did at her house because the Tea seemed to stay hotter for longer than when made at her home. As a scientist i'm sure that water boils at 100 degrees C unless it is at altitude. For the record my mum doesn't live on a mountain.

» Food sabotage
Not me but..............
*Not strictly sabotage but food related*
My Step-mum had made breakfast in bed for my dad, consisting of one bacon-butty (that is bacon-sandwich to you posh people). just as she was about to take it up to him the phone rang so she places it upon the stairs in the house of which they lived, doing so she left the hallway door open and one of their cats ,whom we shall call Fluff for that was its name, got to the bacon.
Instead of throwing it away and starting from scratch she wrestles Fluff for the bacon & places it back in the bread and allows my dear old Dad to enjoy a second hand sarnie. Then she tells him this story after he finishes it.
