» How I Skive Off Work

Sellotape Curling
I used to work for WHSmith, as an "Evening stock replenisher" (Shelf stacker) On one occasion one of my colleagues and I were very bored, and, since we had about half an hour left of our shift, and all the shelves were now stacked, we decided to invent ourselves a game.

We went in the stockroom, found a permanent marker, and marked some lines at the end of one of the aisles in the stockroom. Each "section" between lines was worth a different number of points.

I--------I-------I--------I------------I
I--50--I--30--I--10--I------------I
I--------I-------I--------I------------I

Then we opened a three pack of sellotape, stood at the other end of the aisle and "curled" them towards the points area. Whoever gets most points after three throws each, wins.

Another great game we played was trolley racing, but that ended because we knocked a load of Christmas wrapping paper over. "It fell by itself. ." we proclaimed. . .
