Stupid behaviour at work

Postby Bipolar » August 9th, 2007, 8:14 am

I work in an office which doesn't get very exciting (I've already found where all the hot chicks sit). So when I've gotta go somewhere I usually walk pretty quickly and make turbo noises as I speed up, including flutter. And when no-one can see I pretend to drift around some of the corners and make more turbo noises. Anyone else do shit like this?

bahaha. sounds like you really are bord.
it reminds me of a guy i went to school with. he thought he was a power ranger or a motorbike or what ever. he was truely crazy.
used to sit in little gaps waiting for people to walk past and just do weird noises etc.

personally all we get up to at work is seeing if we can throw eggs from one end of the store to the other and get them in the bin.
needless to say it gets messy :D

back in my early uni days when I was working at Coles, we'd spill some flour or oil on the storeroom floor & then scoot on the pallet jacks onto the spill & kick out sideways for as long as possible, it was mad!

Or throwing fruit into the ceiling fans (the high speed ones like large bathroom fans)

The best fun was when I was working in a mine, 4WD drifting on coal in an n/a hilux is the bombshiz.

Ha ha! Nothing I've done could beat yours Dave, but when I worked for Mazda we had a day at the Mount Cotton Driver Training Centre where we spent half a day driving cars worth about $20,000 so we could see just how good the Mazdas were compared to the others in the price range. We were told to just take it easy and compare the differences, but most of us couldn't help ourselves. The guy I was partnered with was telling me how good he was all day and wouldn't shut up but I thought he was being a sook when he actually got out on the track. On my last lap which was in the Mazda, I'd beaten my top speed around all the corners, had all 4 wheels screaming their arses off and the guy in the passenger seat didn't say much to me after that.

    Hahahaha possibly my favourite thing ever to do at my old work... we had a CAT petrol fork that was a demo and it had pnuematic tyres and it would smoke them all day doing rollbacks.

    One funny thing we did in my current job was a whole bunch of dodgy shit to a guys car who was leaving.. hoooked a vacuum line up to a bottle of brake fluid.. (instant BILLOWING white smoke) wired the horn into the indicator circuit.. took the internal rods off the door handles and put all his window winders in the glovebox.. haha he was always doin something to our cars or toolboxes.

    Workin at safeways we get the deoderant cans without tops and take them out the back and blow the tops off them or we just break stuff. Racng on pallet jacks is also fun to.

    When i was doing work experience in a mechanic workshop we had this thing called the magic starter to check if your coil was rooted. You would hook it where the coil is ment to go on the dizzy. One day the boss was on hols so we were hooking it up to tables becase there were all steel and zapping people when they get there tolls or putting it on the office chair so you would get a shock when you sit down

    When reception calls one of us to put a customer through we answer with one or two words, and try and make it as obscure as possible.

    ring ring... pick up phone and say "peanut butter" or "toothbrush" or my fave "spigot bearing"

    ...substitute different words each time.

    oh, well... where do i begin...

    when working with my brother for 5 years we got up to mischief. we worked on a pretty big site, and we were left in a massive building by ourselves for 6 months. we managed to play HEAPS of office cricket. we would rig the doors up so that if anyone came in it would create a type of vacuum, and close another...

    we would also play LAN games, (how can we get in trouble when we were the only 2 IT guys there). and we would go out on driving missions for ages when we could.

    this is the last day we had our work van.

    Haha! I do that, but reword them so they are x rated haha.

    The workshop floor where I work is painted conrete, really slippery - I try to balance the car on the throttle when driving aound the ends of the workshop so that I require no steering input at all - no oppy lock but no turn-in either.

    Might sound like I'm being rough to customers cars but it only requires about 6% throttle opening @ 15km/h because the floor is so slippery :D

    Most times the foremen don't even notice but when they do I get a stern talking to haha. It still hasn't stopped me in 3 years :D

    Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

    at coles we always throw fruit and veg at each other, or play cricket when theres not much stock around.
    Today we made a pretty big mess when we were throwing each other into pallets of stock just for the hell of it, went for a good half hour. Then another hour trying to clean up...

    Ahh, another thing I did at Coles: Meatroom Olympics! The main event was the conveyor luge. The conveyor was a series of teflon rollers from the bandsaw to the wrapping/weighting machine, about 8m long. Its purpose was for cuts from the bandsaw to be placed on trays and rolled down to the wraping/weighting machine. Launching yourself off the wall behind the bandsaw onto the "luge" was a bit of an effort: you had to land straight on it, and keep your arms and legs together or you'll get caught up in the whole structure of the thing.

    I only made it to the wrapping machine once :lol:
