Do you have a gate barrier? If so if it were me I would have fun with that. The old joke the button won't work etc etc.

Probably why my last employer for 9 years was so sad to see me leave. He never knew what to expect when I walked in the door to a professional office as senior member of staff.

I have made loud bangs as Drivers approach the lowered Barriers, watching their faces as they think they hit something is class.

I also shout "Oh Poop" (Not poop but you know what I mean) again the look of Panic is awesome

I have also had no less than 11 People hit the actual Roadblockers

"Wait for the Green Light" clearly isn't suggestive enough

We also have a giggle watching the Security footage of the Cars that hit the Blockers, there is also an occasion where a Driver, stupidly started a Car whilst standing oustide the Car with one hand on the Steering wheel, one foot on the accelerator whilst it was in Gear, you get to watch him whizz along at the side of teh Car. He then ploughed straight through the fence and luckily stopped at some Barriers just before a 20 Foot drop. He was a very lucky person.

My Favourite footage is the Guy who unloaded a Car from a Single car transporter, but forgot to put his ramps down...........Vroom Vroom BANG !!!!

We also have a Family of Crows who visit and sit on the Gates, we feed them Biscuits and stuff. They are quite friendly.

It isn't all bad to be honest, I do enjoy it most days

Yep, But the Hedgehog (Right side of the Picture) really sucks at that and the Pixies who live under the Door, they just don't like playing Games

Not saying I spend too much time alone or anything

You mean they leave you there all day alone? With a heater and I hope comfy seat and radio? Sounds bliss to me.

I have a Heater yes, Radio too, my Chair isn't too comfy, but enough to relax a bit every now and then. I can be extremely busy, we can have anything up to 20 - 60 Singular Cars through the Gates which I have to book on site, then there is Truck Deliveries etc. So not all sitting doing nothing

I am alone most of the time, I have a Colleague who takes over for my lunch break etc
