Counterproductive Workplace Behaviour

This is behaviour on the part of an employee or employees that works against the legitimate interests of the organisation that employs them or indeed their own interests. This sort of behaviour is detrimental to the organisation, its employees, clients and customers. It is believed that persons with a tendency to experience anger are more likely to respond to a stressful situation, such as being treated unfairly with counterproductive workplace behaviour.
When the supervisor blamed Charlie for his own mistake, Charlie deliberately jammed all three photocopiers in a fit of counterproductive workplace behaviour.

Beaver Beaver

An improved variation of Slap Bag, originating in Laramie, Wyoming. This game involves one party-goer pulling out a bag of wine, chugging from said bag, then enthusiastically yelling, "BEAVER! BEAVER!" Another party-goer is then obligated to shout out, "Wine Receiver!!!" Once this 'receiver' call is made, the original party-goer must toss, throw, or chuck the aforementioned bag of wine toward the receiver. The receiver will then catch and chug from the bag, shout out "BEAVER BEAVER," and repeat the action in perpetuity until the bag has been fully drained of its contents.
Party Goer 1: <pulls out bag of Franzia Sunset Blush and chugs a reasonable amount of wine>
Party Goer 1: "Beaver Beaver!"
Party Goer 2: "WINE RECEIVER!!!"
Party Goer 1: <chucks the bag of wine in a reckless fashion, barely reaching the vicinity of Party Goer 2>
Party Goer 2: <makes a magnificent one-handed snag after tip-toeing through a gasoline-infused bonfire and reaching between the chairs of two other innocent party-goers>
All Other Party Goers: "Wooooooo!!!!" (while clapping and cheering for Party Goer 2)
Party Goer 2: <chugs a slightly more healthy amount of wine from the bag than Party Goer 1>
Party Goer 2: "Beaver Beaver!"
Overly-Drunken Party Goer 3: "Wine receiver, BITCHES!!!"
Party Goer 2: <lightly tosses a perfectly catchable bag toward Party Goer 3>
Party Goer 3: <reaches for the bag, stumbles, barely touches the bag, and falls face-first into the lush (i.e., dry and yellow) Laramie grass>
<the wine bag falls innocently to the ground>
All Other Party Goers: "Oooooo..." (while snickering and shaking heads in a sign of immense social shame)
Party Goer 3: <gets up, picks of the bag, chugs, and the game continues>

Did you hear about Junior? He got arrested for shooting his wife in their home. Claimed it was a burglary gone wrong but it seems like classic panhandle behavior.
