We have a foosball (table soccer) table in our office. It's in a corner office at the far end of the floor, in a section of offices that aren't used for anything, away from pretty much everything. And yet, when a really raucous game is going on, you can still hear the yelling from your office.
It's kind of funny, really. Almost all the men in the office, and the majority of the women too, have become nearly obsessed with foosball. I knew it was bad when one guy sent a company-wide email in which he quoted (and gave the URL for) the Official Rules of foosball. Apparently there's a move called "spinning" that isn't allowed, but that a lot of people were doing.
I played for the first time today. Not surprisingly, I pretty much sucked, although I did make a couple of goals -- pure luck, I assured everyone! Oy. It's way more fun than anything in an office ought to be. ;)
