Get the County Workmug. Unnecessary busy work imposed by employers to make sure they get their money’s worth out of employees or unnecessary working conditions imposed to micromanage employees.
I can perform my job better from (insert any location that makes sense), but am being told to go do it (insert other location that does not make sense) to keep tabs on me. This is some serious spite work.
You perform all of your duties, but are being asked to do some extra spite work that makes no sense and is usually mandated by someone else who is not an expert in your field.
Bad professional development/meetings that could have been emails just for the sake of having professional development/meetings are spite work.
When you are done with your work and more spite work is piled on because it would be a shame if you had nothing to do and were still being paid

Get the Work The Curbmug. When you're engaged in a sexual act and need the assistance of some furniture (preferably a shelf) to aid your performance.
We were going hard at it and both yelling for more so I got some more leverage off the book-shelf to bring it home, it was some seriously awesome shelf-work.
Oh my god, it was amazing, he had me screaming with his shelf-work, I think I gasm'd about seven times.
