on food: prepare the most foul and pungent smelling food products, fish is a good choice, at least 15 minutes before everyone else has lunch so that your stench permeates everybody's food. similar to a cat spraying piss on things to mark it.

30 days old cheese in the freezer is a nice choice too

Funny thing, I was the last person to leave the office before the boss and the guy he was having an interview with

[Steppenwolf]

- a lava lamp makes cozy light on your desk when you have to work late hours

- don't touch the game magazines that lie next to the toilets. they are sprinkled with piss

- when you have a long commute after work don't eat foods at the office that give you diarrhea

- don't eat dry fruits if your digestion system isn't used to them. your colleagues will appreciate it

If your office has poorly ventilated bathroom facilities, don't have a gigantic, disgusting, smelly shit and then leave the door wide open so the smell may invade the entire office and get sucked into the air conditioning. Or, do this if you have malicious feelings towards your employers and colleagues.

- Don't shout "sieg heil" for fun in the elevator, a gothic co-worker behind the doors may take it for him

- When people are playing some games after lunch with their headphones on, go behind their back and ask questions about the game they are playing

[dux]

- Get told in your first ever on-site interview by the lead interviewer that "This is our interview, we ask the questions here" in a really childish manner. Whilst the other 6 guys in the room look on with disinterest and a desire to self harm.

- Never get compensated for your 5h car journey, spend £100 on petreol for 40 minutes of interview time. Then wonder to yourself in the journey home why none of the "Game designers" don't understand a figure 8 deathmatch map.

- Stand outside in cold ringing front bell to be let in as you watch secretary talk on phone and ignore you. Wonder why I bothered.

- Be told after another 5h car journey for a junior position that you were second in favour of someone with experience. Wonder who the fuck these people are.

Dude you're on a roll!

- When somebody is working with headphones on, and you are standing close enough to hear their music, but not in front of them enough for them to see you and take their headphones off ... that is a good time to talk to them about whatever issue you may have that you need to talk to them about. And if they ignore you, or don't appear to even realise you're there, thats a good enough reason to get annoyed with their "attitude".

[marks]

- When you have explained no less than 4 times a critical issue with another artists work which directly affects your work ... when they still don't understand your clear, simple explanation - it is not okay to get frustrated with them. It is however okay for them to berate you about the fact that you won't leave them alone.

I'd love a Mapcore-spinoff of The Office...

[KoKo5oVaR]

- On crunch hours organise chivalrous tournaments in the corridors with two scooters and 2 long PVC tubes to put your arm in

- Place an alien figurine somewhere in the studio holding a post it "money to feed my kids" and get free coffees
