Office Dares

ONE-POINT DARES:

  • Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
  • To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
  • Leave your fly open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".
  • Walk sideways to the photocopier.
  • While going in an elevator, gasp dramatically each time the doors open.
  • When in elevator with one other person, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you.
  • Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy..."
  • Don't use any punctuation.
  • Use your highlighter pen on the computer screen.


THREE-POINT DARES:

  • Say to your boss, "I like your style", wink, and shoot him with double-barrelled fingers.
  • Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
  • Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
  • Every time you get an email, shout ''e-mail''.
  • Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has got over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
  • Keep hole punching your finger. Each time you do, shout,"dagnamit, it's happened again!". Then do it again.
  • Introduce yourself to a new colleague as "the office bicycle". Then wink and pout.
  • Call I.T. help desk and tell them that you can't seem to access any pornography web-sites.
  • Page yourself over the intercom without disguising your voice


FIVE-POINT DARES:

  • 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).
  • Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
  • For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Dave".
  • Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".
  • In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up,damn it, all of you just shut up!"
  • At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again!"
  • During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
  • As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
  • Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
  • Hump the photocopier. When someone spots you, stop and cough embarrassingly, then lean in to the machine and whisper loudly, "I'll call you tonight".
