Office Dares
ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES

“Just called to say I can’t talk right now. Bye.”
- To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears
and grimace.

open.
THREE-POINT DARES
- Say to your boss, “I like your style” and shoot him with
double-barreled fingers.
- Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, " Did you get all
that, I don’t want to have to repeat it."
- Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
- Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle
(there must be a ‘non-player’ within sight).
- Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
FIVE POINT DARES

growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
- For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as “Bob.”
- Announce to everyone in a meeting that you “really have to go do a
number two.”
- After every sentence, say ‘Mon’ in a really bad Jamaican accent. As
in “The report’s on your desk, Mon.” Keep this up for 1 hour.
- While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
- In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and
mutter, “Shut up, all of you just shut up!”
- At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, “As God as my
witness, I’ll never go hungry again.”
- In a colleague’s DAY PLANNER, write in the 10am slot: “See how I look
in tights.”(5 Extra points if it is a male, 5 more if he is your boss)
- Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask, “You wanna
trade?”
- Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: " Do
you hear that?" “What?” “Never mind, it’s gone now.”
- Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, “I can’t talk
about it.”
- Posing as a maitre d’, call a colleague and tell him he’s won a
lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.
- Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very
important conference call.
- Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
- Hang a 2’ long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and
act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
- Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuits,
smashing each biscuit with your fist.
- During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the
door.
- Arrange toy figures on the table to represent each meeting attendee,
move them according to the movements of their real-life counterparts.
And if that wasn’t enough for you… How to keep a healthy level of
insanity:
- At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a
hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

have to let one of you go."
- Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries
with that.

over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
