Yahoo has posted up a list of the 6 most annoying coworkers - a list of general types of coworkers that really get under your skin in the office.
There’s nothing really new or unique about this list, but it’s always fun to categorize your own coworkers with the provided list to see just where the fall. The “Buzzwordsmith” is probably the one I hate the most, as those kind of people just full of the kind of BS that really annoys me. I’d probably most likely fall under the “Naysayer” category, but I’m usually busy shooting down ideas because they are just plain bad ideas. Of course, I’m sure that’s what all naysayers say.

I haven’t shamelessly plugged another site of mine in quite some time, so I figure I’m due. As such, let me introduce to you Book Clubs Online, a website where bookworms everywhere can find and join existing book clubs or simply create their own. Book clubs feature forums, chat, calendar events, and much more. Oh yeah, it’s also 100% free.
Sure this may just be me advertising one of my new sites, and it may not have much to do with office humor, but you can go ahead and ignore that little hiccup right? Ok, so you could create an office humor book club, complete with office joke books, and pranking how-to books. There. This post is now 100% relevant!
Looking for something to do to kill the time before your Thanksgiving break? Maybe a few games of office minigolf and office hoops will help?
The games aren’t all that original, but the minigolf game does support multiple players so you can waste some time with some fellow coworkers and the hoops game can be quite fun when you try to hit the various objects around the office to see the fairly humorous comments that are left for you to discover.

If you’re a fan of the television show The Office, you’ll probably want to check out the new web game Dunder Mifflin Infinity. Start up your own Dunder Mifflin branch, hire employees, and complete tasks to prove that you’re branch is the best!
I haven’t been able to try it out for too long as they’ve had a few stability issues and bugs the last few days - though it appears to be running much smoother right now. Get all your real life coworkers playing with you and you can all work two jobs at once!

Think you can tell a computer programmer from a serial killer? Try out this quiz and find out for yourself.
I didn’t do so hot, got 5/10. So basically I got exactly what I shoud have gotten when I pretty much just guessed on every single one. Pretty sad when I’m a computer programmer.

The Smoking Gun has a feature up that includes mugshots of people who were arrested in their work uniforms. Uniforms include those from IHOP, Best Buy, and even a church.
There’s 22 pages in all so be sure to check them all out. And remember, when getting your mugshot taken, at least try to smile.

Tired of working in your office 8-5 every day? Why not try becoming a gladiator on American Gladiators? Yup, that’s right, NBC is bringing back American Gladators and is looking for some contestants and gladiators. Of course, there’s an application to fill out, and there’s a few weird questions you’ll have to answer…
The application starts with some normal questions like what is your occupation, what’s your highest level of education, etc. Then things start getting kind of odd starting with “How long have you been in your current relationship?” Ok, I guess that could be useful information for them to have since they’re looking for personality and all that…. but it just keeps getting weirder from there - such as the section that has you rating your skill level at certain activities. Which activities you ask?
- Being Bratty
- Manipulating People
- Risky Behavior
- Strategizing
- Street Fighting
- Tempting Opposite Sex
Don’t worry, it gets even better still! After a few more questions, you’re then asked to write a short poem or rap. Next to that you then must draw a picture of yourself.
I’ve never really looked at an application for a gameshow or reality show, but I imagine this one is fairly standard. I guess I now know how they get some of the crazy people they get!

Andrew of from Jobacle sent me a link to Office Bingo, a game you play at work that has you looking out for your typical work activities - such as stinky lunch, random HR memo, and called by boss.
There’s a link to a pdf file for you to print out your Bingo card, though it’s more just for fun rather than an actual game. Too much of it seems to be on the honor system and the fact that you’d be using the same cards as everybody else may make it a bit boring to play in reality. You could always mix up where each action is so that everybody has different cards, and you could come up with some different actions that would better suit your office. Either way, it’s definitely a fun idea that you could definitely waste some time with.

Some laws are controversial, some are outdated, some are broken, and some are absolutely hilarious. A list of the world’s 25 strangest laws makes you wonder just what some lawmakers were thinking when laws prohibitting getting a fish drunk were passed.
Some of the funnier ones that are work related include:
24. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.
21. Under the UK’s Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don’t want him to know, though you don’t have to tell him anything you don’t mind him knowing.
17. In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.
2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.
