Turn them backwards?
Install whoopee cushions?
Trap doors?

Top secret: at work we had an administrator who was a genius in "getting nothing done"

I had just replaced the porcelain throne at home, so I cleaned up the old one real nice, and replaced his work seat with it, undoubtedly much more suitable for extended sessions of meditation instead of actual work.

How I got it past the guards is lost to fading memory. Truly a great accomplishment.

Well, our do-nothing administrator apparently got a burst of productivity, and it vanished rather quickly.

You see, there are ways to motivate people.

And to smuggle potties into aerospace facilities. And who knows, maybe that seat replaced an ultra expensive one for (redacted) Corporation.
