Visitors from outside the UK might want to read themselves up on the word chav – you’ve probably got your own term.

Channel 8. Who Was That?

Stephen Hendry hosts this hilarious knock-about quiz show where three teams of schizophrenics answer hugely probing and hurtful questions about their personal life. The studio audience are plied with gin and encouraged to goad the contestants by throwing dismembered dolls at them.  Music by Black Lace.

Thanks to this blog for highlighting some not-so subtle ways of really pissing people off in the office.  I hope the author won’t mind but I culled a few that I didn’t think were great and added some of my own at the bottom.  

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and Point A Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down.
2. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, Ask If They Want Fries with That.
3. Put Your Garbage Can On Your Desk And Label It “IN.”
4. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks. Once Everyone Has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch To Espresso.
5. In The Memo Field Of All Your Checks, Write “For Sexual Favors”
6. As Often As Possible, Skip Rather Than Walk.
7. Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is “To Go.”
8. Sing Along At The Opera.
9. Put Mosquito Netting Around Your Work Area And Play Tropical Sounds All Day.
10. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream “I Won! I Won!” 

Ploop would like to add:

1. Hum along to an unknown song while you are typing
2. Scrunch up your nose and say “ahhh” whenever anybody mentions something that’s bothering them
3. Answer the phone saying “for heaven’s sake call me Lesley”
4. Have a sticker over your terminal saying “you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps”
