Christmas office pranks | Why toilet paper comes in handy

December 22, 2008

While twiddling his thumbs and ignoring all emails coming his way, Guru wondered how best to spend his last few days at work. It didn't take him long to realise that ever other worker in the country was doing the same thing.

 

So in true office Christmas craze fashion, Yours Truly opted to don his bosses' private office in toilet paper. He had seen the clips on YouTube suggesting how to girlie-wrap and engulf every object from the chair to the wall calendar in beautifully decorated Christmas wrapping. But that was too boring and not very Guru. Loo roll strung everywhere, now that's a better idea and something he could blame on the cleaners.

 

And with that he saw on YouTube a charming companion from the across the pond had done the same thing. Was there a blue-faced ego in America too?

 

Oh well, who cares. Guru was off to enjoy the lager and meat feast ahead of him. As to the job, well it was only a temporary post doing consultation crap, excuse the pun, so no need to go back there. Just as well, as they've run out of toilet roll.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator and dispenser of workplace wit and wisdom. He was once an HR Director but is now the antithesis of good people management. He is right-leaning, most certainly politically incorrect and ever so slightly misogynistic. He is also lazy, married (to Mrs Guru) and refers to himself – as all self-important people do - in the third person.
