Workplace antics

Where I work, they have a sense of humor, but I'm still getting to know them. The other place I was at we were bunch of freaks. My boss and most of the women were hilarious and demented. Even the HR went around quoting lines from the beginning of Malcolm X where all the kids go, "I AM MALCOLM X" and so we all decided to chime in, "I AM MALCOLM X" in different African accents. Good times. I miss them. ;__; We shall hopefully get to have an official departure party soon.

Also the VP would shout, "Ain't nobody got time for dat" quite frequently. One time we were all at the company party, and me, HR, and these four other people were in a corner. They HR then just blurted out to us before she ran away, "OH NO! Disperse! MINORITY CORNER! MINORITY CORNER!"

I can recall other funny incidents as well, but I will refrain and just do this last one. When Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was released, the distributor sent us a card board cut out of Tom Cruise with a hood on, so one of the program schedulers took it and placed it in people's offices when they weren't there. He scared a good amount of people. Then he went to the CEO's room and peeked it around his doorway. Scared him as well.

At my office job we're too busy and tense to have any decent pranks but there's lots of friendly banter.

Too new at my retail job to do such things.

When I worked in the deli we would sometimes throw meat at each other and I would sneak up on my coworkers without them knowing and waited until they noticed. Really shouldn't be doing that to 60+ year olds though :jess:

I usually just pick on the other supervisor on my floor. I'm very quiet at work so nobody ever suspects it was me.

A few weeks ago, I unclipped all the wallets in his folder so when he went to pick it up it would fall everywhere. :bigsmile:

When we get bored at work, we pull up the students' Twitter accounts and laugh at them.

Pretty much this nowadays. Just mocking is all that remains. XD

Back in the day, there was plenty though. XD Mentioned in another post that I used to slapbox with a former coworker during breaks. We also used to throw a football around(Guess I should mention we work in a warehouse around the corner from the main campus. So plenty of room to throw XD). We would try to get it in a trash can, usually placing bets for lunch XD, or just throw to each other. There's some other trout involving inside jokes but I'm too lazy to explain. :x

Wow, he must have been incredibly stressed to burst a ball specifically designed for it.

Well, "burst his stress ball" may be a euphemism :erm:

My former workplace. They're dancing around my desk. Nice to see they're excited I left. ;___;
