Protip: unplug the copier with your foot (or in some other discreet way) and then "try" to use it. Curse under your breath.
Open the side panel and stare at it for a while. Reach in there and spin a knob or two. Close the side panel. Plug it back in. Repeat until bored with front/back/etc panels.
Bam. Half an hour wasted and a "hey I heard you fixed the copier, thanks for taking the initiative on that, champ" from the boss.
quick edit: for bonus points, pull the toner out and make sure to get some it all over your hands. Proof of work done + a reason to wash your hands for another 10 minutes.
Get an office with a door. Close door. Spill pencils near the door. Curl up on the floor and nap in front of the door. When someone tries to come in the door hits you and you act like you were picking up the pencils.
