The Bored Games

When working at a car wash, there will be periods of downtime where you sit around and do nothing and just wait. It gets quite boring when you are just sitting there doing nothing. Sometimes, during these times we, the employees, come up with the most random games to entertain ourselves. They may seem really lame or stupid but when you're extremely bored, they are a blast. 

One game that we play is when we are in the back. Back by where we vacuum the cars. We have this little rock pit with two black "man hole" cover type things. The object of the game is to toss the rocks onto the man hole covers. Its harder than you might think. The rules are simple. You have to kneel or squat on the side walk next to the building(the farthest point from the covers) and toss the rocks trying to get them to stay on the covers without falling off. For each one you get on the cover is 1 point. The most points win.

A second game that we play, and we just came up with this game today and is still in the making. This game is also played in the back but it is played in our prep bay. In our prep bay we have a bunch of sponges that we use to get bugs and other stuff off cars, (they sit in barrels of water all day so they get pretty clean). The object of this game is also very simple. You are simply to take a wet sponge, bounce it off a car and hit the other person. If you hit the person you get one point. Most points win. This game may sound really dull and lame but it is actually quite addictive and fun. especially when its warm and hot out.

These are all the games that I know of as of now. As I learn of more I will blog about them.

Let me know what you think of these games.
