Feeling bored in the office? Looking for something new and exciting to do?
Why not initiate an office dare system – however to do it properly only you are allowed to know the dare. Sound confusing? Well read on…
FIVE POINT DARES
- 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).
- Walk into a very busy person’s office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
- For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as “Bob”.
- Announce to everyone in a meeting that you “really have to go do a number two”.
- 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.
- While an office mate is out, move their chair into the lift.
- In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, “Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!”.
- At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, “As God is my witness, I’ll never go hungry again”.
- In a colleague’s diary, write in 10am: “See how I look in tights”.
- Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask “You wanna trade?”.
- Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: “Do you hear that?” “What?” “Never mind, it’s gone now”.
- Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, “I can’t talk about it”.
- 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.
- Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very important conference call.
- Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
- Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
- Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit, smash each biscuit with your fist.
- During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
- Arrange toy figures on the table to represent each meeting attendee, move them according to the movements of their real-life counterparts.
And if that wasn’t enough for you…
