I think the day when people stop complaining about stupid things, will be the day the world dies in a massive fiery explosion......or when Jesus comes back, for religious people.....
You get the point....

Y'know I don't mind my process controls engineering position. Much of my time is spent with the following interaction:
Client: "Well what if I make the valve do this?"
Me: "Sir, if you do that, your plant will explode."
Client: "... Let me call you back."
Explosions are fun right?

A client approaches me with his wife.
Client: "Two tickets please."
Me: "For The Hobbit?"
Client: "No... that's actually my wife. John Wick please"
Priceless.

I remember when Cookie Clicker came out and everyone was playing that. It was fun to see how quickly it got blocked.

I love moments like these!
I once worked at an insurance agency and this happened:
Client: "I want to pay my bill"
Me: *looks up policy* "Oh, I'm sorry, your policy cancelled yesterday for non-payment."
*explains that he must pay higher amount to reinstate*
Client: "If I come in yesterday, will my policy be active?"
Me:"........." *blinks* "Yes. If you come in and pay yesterday, your policy won't be cancelled."
Client: *nods* "Ok." *gets up and leaves...his policy is still cancelled*

People will -always- try to find ways to waste time at work. I never understood this futile war by management to block all distractions.

PRODUCTIVITY! You're here to work, not to play! Meanwhile people continue to troll the Facebook, news websites, forums, what-have-you. It's as if people don't like the idea of doing menial, mindless work for eight hours a day. Unless it's in an MMO.

Honestly I can sort of see why they'd attempt it. Frankly though so long as the people are doing their work on time, even if they have to rush it, don't much see any harm in little distractions to keep them from going stir crazy. Unless they rushing causes the work to be done poorly, in which case they're SOL.
