10 Completely Time-Wasting Websites That Will Enrage Your Boss

The author of this article takes no responsibility for your boss’s reaction when he catches you wasting company time on the following ten websites.
Tired of working in the same old rut? Need a new job, or just want to get fired? The following ten websites are assured to enrage your boss if he or she catches you surfing said sites. Enrage and possibly terminate your employment, actually. For each website, I’ve tried to predict your boss’s reaction when finding you on the site. For sheer time-wasting, you can’t beat these:
Card Toss
Enjoy tossing cards into a hat? Sure you do, since it wastes time so spectacularly. Try to beat your previous score in this game; if it takes you the whole working day to do it, so be it.
Possible Boss Reaction: “I don’t care what you say, flipping cards is not a valuable on-the-job training skill! Get back to work!”
Jello-Time
The great thing about this website, besides poking the jello repeatedly to watch it shake and tremble, is the twangy sound effect that goes along with it. Be sure to jack up the volume on your computer speakers so the sounds of your jello-poking reverberate amongst the cubicles, making your co-workers look around in wonderment and confusion.
Possible Boss Reaction: “Where the hell is that weird noise coming from? You’re… poking jello on company time!?!”
Watching Grass Grow
Nothing better to do at work but watch the grass grow, but there’s no nearby window in which to look outside? Well, visit this site and you can watch the grass grow. Not only that, but you’ll be treated to a cheesy rendering of the hit tune “Live and Let Die”, too! A website guaranteed to annoy anybody who isn’t into watching grass grow on company time.
Possible Boss Reaction: “You’re watching the grass grow on the Internet?!? We’re not paying you to do that! What is wrong with you?”
Watch It Shred!
It’s oddly fascinating to watch the shredding machine on this website do its work. And they’ve shredded a lot of items, too: filing cabinets, tires, and old arcade games just to mention a few. My personal favorite is when they shredded an entire Dodge Daytona, quite the sight to see.
Liked it
My Boss will definetely not approve.
you are funny;)
Man this was some wild stuff but I have to admit that jello site was simple yet fun and I have just the coworker in mind for it. I do play games sometimes at work at a site called.

I thought the jello and the hamster toss were just too funny! LOL
I emailed to everyone I know. Great entertainment for anyone who needs to laugh, so I guess that means everyone!
That’s a really funny list!
The biggest time waster I’ve found is calltheinternet.org you can call them and they’ll talk to you and answer questions and looking things up and just chit-chat if that’s what you want to do. I put the number in my phone lol!
What! Here I was, happily wasting truly enormous amounts of time writing parody poems for Slate.MSN.com, updating my blog, answering personal e-mail, etc., etc., when I could’ve been doing all these amazingly worthless things. How utterly deprived I’ve been.
(Mix the above mild sarcasm with a shot glass full of pure distilled laughter and stir well.)
AURGH!! I love it I just had to play the toilet paper one!!
You show the best websites ever!! Keep up the great work!!
Feel free to take a look at my articles and photos some time
I think you will enjoy them.

I love to watch the shred it videos it really amazing to see the amount of power some of the large industrial machine have. Shredding a car is not easy.
I now what you mean the amount of torque required to shred some of these items must be huge. I have never really seen any of the large SSI shredding but there smaller ones are impressed me enough.
