Want to try something new and exciting to do? Why not initiate an office dare system. However to do it properly - only you are allowed to know the dare. Sound confusing? Well read on..........
ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES
1) Run one lap around the office at top speed.
2) Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other 'non-player'must be in the toilet at the time).
3) Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
4) Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and
say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
5) To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your head
6) When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good".
7) Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".
8) Walk sideways to the photocopier.
9) While riding an lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open
THREE POINT DARES
1) Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot him with double-barrelled fingers.
2) Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that,I don't want to have to repeat it".
3) Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
4) Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle(there must be a 'non-player' within sight).
5) Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
FIVE POINT DARES
1) 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).
2) Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
3) For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob".
4) After every sentence, say 'mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent - As in "the report's on your desk, mon". Keep this up for one hour.
5) While an office mate is out, move their chair into the lift.
6) In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!".
7) At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my witness,I'll never go hungry again."
8) In a colleague's diary, write in 10am: "See how I look in tights".
9) Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask "You wanna trade?".
10) Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now".
11) Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
12) During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.

I definitely have to try number 6 from the one-pointers. That is so creepy, but my coworkers would expect no less.
I mean, I actually said this in a meeting one time:
Manager: "An article came out ranking our company as one of the top one hundred for ethical business practices..."
Me: "Oh. Those statistics are probably from before I was hired."
I think number one in the three point dares is something I've actually done several times. What can I say? I liked her style.
