I used to
have the middle button of my mouse set up to minimize whatever window I have open at the time. I've just started a new job and can't change the mouse settings, so I just resize the web browser so I can barely read it and hold the cursor over a different window.


Also, at school, one of my mates had the great idea of listening to music during lessons, so I thought I'd give it a try (during physics - crap teacher and my only lesson on a wednesday. Bastards). So I se up an elaborate system with my walkman in my pocket and my headphone wire running up my shirt and out at the collar, and I'd rest my head on my hand to hide it. Of course I got caught, so when the teacher confronted me, I just played dumb and was told to stay behind after the lesson. I stuck my walkman in the bottom of my bag and crammed my headphones into my shoe. Teacher ended up forgetting about me and I left at the end with everyone else.


The same friend is the person who installed GTA2 and Counter Strike on all the PCs in the computer suite, so when my physics teacher (yes, same one) told us if we forgot our text books not to bother coming to the lesson and I forgot mine, I decided to spend the lesson on GTA. Turns out it was a misunderstanding and when she said "don't bother coming to the lesson", she actually meant "come to the lesson anyway". She tracked me down and luckily I managed to minimise the window in time and pretend I was working.

I also once half the morning at home playing Shenmue 2. walked into school and told the teacher I slept in.
