I know loads of these are old to some people, but may be new to others...
Seeing as it's Friday - Have some fun with these Office Dares......
1 Point
Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other 'non-player' must be in the toilet at the time).
Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
While riding in a lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it".
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).
Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".
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".
Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it".
Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig etc) during a very important conference call.
Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
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.
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.
look at your 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 your head with a pen usually gets the paranoia ball rolling.
Lower a colleagues 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).
Notify 10 people that a manager (name him) wants them to attend a meeting 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...
5 Points
At a meeting, stand up and act indignant. Demand that the boss tell you the 'real' reason this meeting has been called.
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.
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.
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.
Look at an email and then run out of office screaming "Oh my god they've found me"
Secretly hide a cotton reel under your clothing, with about a centimetre of thread showing on the outside. when someone tries to take it off for you, run quickly in any direction for as long as possible!
Yup - I really am bored waiting for the next 12 weeks to fly by....
