Practical Jokes, Skiving & Cheating

kitten_caboodle · 4 Sep 2006 at 14:32

Hi guys...

I need your help! If you have any good practical jokes to play on your co-workers, or friends, or any tips on cheating/bluffing/skiving, at practically anything, then post 'em here. I'm compiling some of the best, and I've got some good 'uns already but I'm fairly sure that the OCUK collective can come up with a few special ones

There's a few categories:
1) Skiving off work/college/school
2) Skiving while at work/college/school
3) cheating - at anything
4) bluffing your way - in anything
5) practical jokes to play on your friends/colleagues
6) Links
7) Excuses

Any examples of things you've done, or suggestions for any of these categories will be gratefully received

What is Skiving :confused:

A good one is to pretend you've got a message for your boss, saying that his entire family has been killed in a yachting accident. Then, when he rushes out of the office, take the rest of the day off and spend it getting hammered in the pub.

Avoiding work! So every time you take that extra break youd be skiving, or if you decided to call in sick because you just can't be arsed with work. Thats skiving!

I work at Sainsbury's [A supermarket for those who may not know] and we have these magnetic tags that get put on expensive stuff like electronics and whatnot. Basically these tags will set the alarms off on the doors.

One day while a friend wasn't looking I stuck one of these tags inside his bag. Much hilarity ensued while he spent 10 minutes explaining to the security guard he hasn't taken anything

Show up late and keep getting later and later over the year untill you dont show up at all and say you keep sleeping in if people ask

(Worked in school and people started to just let me get away with it in the end

)

"I can't come to work today"

"Why not?"

"I only have one leg"

Easiest skive is Sickness and the squits.
You cant work in contact with the public with it or work in a food preperation enviroment with it unless you have been free for 24 hours.

YOu can pick up 24 hour food poising from virtually anything, bad take aways, not washing your hands, someone else not washing their hands, allergies etc etc.

Cant come to work, im sick and ive got the squits thats a day off for 80% of people and 2 days for those in the nursing and food industry.
