How I Skive Off WorkAdmit it. No one does any work these days. It's all looking at crappy websites with your thumb hanging over alt tab incase the boss walks over. Tell us your best methods of skiving, and any resultant incidents. (Maybe your slacking off has got someone sacked, or resulted in a large scale industrial accident.)

WhiskyI managed to drink myself into about £1500 worth of debt last year so needed money fast, so i started bottling whisky. Jackpot.
Basically my job was to watch the capsulator (which puts the foil hat on over the cork on bottles) and make sure it didnt score any of the foil capsules, or crinkle them. As were 4 others down the line, so i left them to do it. For 50 hours a week.
My day went thus: Arrive 7.30, start machine. watch for about 90 mins, 20 minute break. repeat until 5.30pm, go home. For £8.11 an hour, it was fucking sweet and all the taxman could lift off me was £30 a week NI, as i was on a student tax code. Dull, but for £330ish a week after deductions, you cant really whinge.
