Wraithing

When someone (usually a boss) walks around in front of your desk all slow and quiet without saying anything, either because they're afraid to interrupt you or they want to catch you using company resources for personal reasons.

"Someone keeps wraithing in front of my desk. :-L"

laundry looting

When you look through a laundry basket of clean clothes for a specific article, like boxers. Instead of just folding the clothes and putting them away, you loot the basket daily until there are none left, leaving to you to freeball it at work.

This morning's laundry looting attempt yielded no briefs.
