This isn't that naughty, just a little subversive.
I used to be the team lead in the tech support department at a company that manufactured high tech products. Our research department where all the super secret new products were developed was anshort walk from our building.
I discovered that there was a meeting room in that building full of super secret, half finished, one of a kind products- and anybody could book the room.
So I booked the room for our weekly team meetings (which were a waste of time anyway). So every week we (a bunch of geeks) got to check out the new stuff, while the other tams talked about customer satisfaction and average hold times (bleh$.
I told my team that although we weren't doing anything wrong, if we asked for permission we'd surely be denied. We never got in trouble, and we had tons of fun. Later on I figured out how we could spend an hour playing games once a week, but that's another story.
