No but worked with a manager who took a nap in an important meeting once. Resorted to knocking out some loud zzzzzz's as well.

Has anyone else ever worked with someone who took a nap at their desk, usually 10-15 mins at the end of their lunch?!
My line manager at a PS place would regularly take these naps

Have worked with quite a few contractors who would head to their cars at lunchtime for a kip. Never done that even last year when I was finding myself so knackered by the afternoon that I was ready to drop. Convinced myself for a while it was some horrific cancer but after a trip to the docs, it turned out I had Glandular Fever

I remember the disabled toilet at JP MOrgan Aldermanbury being closed due to "improper use". I always wondered what that meant. Sex? Drugs? Both?

At a previous client, I used the car park. And not just at lunchtime either.
