"Faxing through to a collegue results from the family planning
clinic, and sending an email to the entire office "by accident"
asking them to pick it up from reception is another good office
dare!"
Are
you daft enough, I mean brave enough to try Office Dares..?
One
point office dares...
1) Run one lap around the office at top speed.
2) Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other 'non-player'
must be in the toilet at the time).
3) Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
4) Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name
and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
5) To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your
ears and grimace.
6) When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper
huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!".
7) Leave your zip open for one hour. If anyone
points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this
way".
8) Walk sideways to the photocopier.
9) While riding in a lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors
open.
10)
Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries
with that.
Three point office dares...
1) Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot
him with double-barrelled fingers.
2) Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did
you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it".
3) Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
4) Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink
directly from the nozzle (there must be a 'non-player' within sight).
5) Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
6)
Put your rubbish bin on your desk and label it
"IN."
7) Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has
got over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
8) Don't use any punctuation
9) As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
Five point office dares...
1) At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be
nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra
points if you actually launch into it yourself).
2) Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you
with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
3) For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob".
4) Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have
to go do a number two".
5) After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad
Jamaican accent. As in "the report's on your desk, Mon".
Keep this up for one hour.
6) While an office mate is out, move their chair into the lift.
7) In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your
forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, all of you just shut
up!"
8) At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God
is my witness, I'll never go hungry again".
9) In a colleague's diary, write in 10am: "See how I look in
tights".
10) Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask "You
wanna trade?".
11) Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person:
"Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind,
it's gone now".
12) Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I
can't talk about it".
13) Posing as a maitre d', call a colleague and tell
him he's won a lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.
14) Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig etc) during
a very important conference call.
15) Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
16) Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from
the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone
points it out.
17) Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit,
smash each biscuit with your fist.
18) During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards
the door.
19) Arrange toy figures on the table to represent
each meeting attendee, move them according to the movements of their
real-life counterparts.

 drill
a hole in the bottom of a colleagues coffee mug and then fill it
with melted candle wax. watch as they manage to get two or three
paces from the kettle before the wax melts and the coffee starts
pouring through the hole. alternatively break the handle off their
mug and glue it back on with wax, stand well back! (this one is
rather more dramatic than the previous one)
put
a note in the emptied lunch box of any male colleague who still
lives at home and has his mother make his lunch offering a service
to find him a bride and get him off her hands for £500. (the
offer was accepted when we tried this)

I
always find it amusing to look at my bosses hairline or slightly
above his head (if talking from a distance) when talking to him,
thus manifesting a sense of paranoia. If this doesn't work initially,
subtly scratching the top of my head with a pen usually gets the
paranoia ball rolling.

When
you colleague has left the room, button up over the chair any clothing
they have hung on the back.
Sellotape their things to their desk e.g. pens, rulers, car keys,
anything that looks a good target. After some time of this, make
a show of tearing some sellotape from the dispenser when they are
on the phone and watch their reaction. If they keep talking, tape
their hand to the handset.
Lower their seat when they are out of the room, deny it was you
and see how long you can get away with it
Pop off the keys 1,2,3 and 7,8,9 on the numeric keypad of their
keyboard and replace them the other way round. When they accuse
you of doing this (if they ever notice!) point out that you just
Feng Shuied their keyboard to match the phone (the phone keypad
is opposite way round).
Stick a label marked 'Any' over the home key on the keyboard and
tell them that's the one they press when the computer says "Press
Any Key to Continue"

and give them a location for the get together. Notify the manager
in question that you believe there is a group of employees who are
holding secret meetings...

At
a meeting, stand up and act indignant. Demand that the boss tell
you the 'real' reason this meeting has been called.
Spill
coffee on the conference table. Produce a little paper boat and
sail it down the table.
Stay
behind as everyone else, including the boss, leaves. Thank them
for coming.
Give
a broad wink to someone else at the table. In time, wink at everyone.
Sometimes shake your head just a little, as if to indicate that
the speaker is slightly crazy and everybody knows it.
Arrange
to have a poorly-dressed young woman with an infant quietly enter
the meeting, stare directly at the (male) speaker for a while, burst
into tears, then leave the room.
Bring
a hand puppet, preferably an animal. Ask it to clarify difficult
points.
Complain
loudly that your neighbour won't stop touching you. Demand that
the boss make him/her stop doing it.

During
a meeting, roll your eyes and shake your head in disagreement each
time a superior speaks.
During
a meeting, raise your hand and say "Ya know, I'm going to have
to disagree with you on that one," each time a superior speaks.
When he/she asks why, flash them a sly grin and a wink, then say,
"You'll see."
Call
the coworker sitting in the cube to your left and ask a simple question
at a level everyone around you can hear. Thank them for the answer
and hang up. Then call the coworker in the cube to your right and
repeat the exact same question at the same level.
Each
morning for a week straight, beg and plead with your monitor that
you don't want to fight today and assure it that you're trying your
best.

Come
back from your lunch break looking a bit flushed and dishevalled,
smelling of perfume (if you're a guy) or aftershave (if you're a
laydee). Guys who are feeling really daring could also have lipstick
on their collar. When people notice just smile mysteriously and
raise your eyebrow.

Gang
up with your colleagues and see how long your boss can handle being
called another name (such as Cecil or Norman). Try to beat five
days straight.
Arrange
a night out with everyone and the boss, but make sure everyone except
your boss turns up an hour later than planned.
Give
each other buzz words prior to team meetings - the winner is the
one who says their word the most. Extra points if the boss says
it too.

Wait
till you boss brings in an umbrella, visit the office printroom,
ask someone there for a bag of paper chippings from the binding
machine, then tip the paper chippings into the closed umbrella and
pray for rain!
Go
to the cloakroom, find your bosses coat or suit jacket, either sew
the hanger to the lining of the coat/jacket or sew the ends of the
arm holes up, should be about 5-10 minutes of amusment!!
I have
actually done this one..!! Purchase some strong clear double sided
sticky tape, tape the handset of the phone to the other part (put
the tape at the mouth piece and the ear piece, less visibility)
then go to another phone within viewing distance and call you boss.
Possible result in a few days of work due to swollen lips but then
when the boss returns you can then complain about the sickness policy
and mumble things like no leadership skills and lead by example!!
Hint: If you have the facility to dial a number for an outside line,
do it, and use the witheld number code. This way the number cant
be traced....happy sticking!!!
