I've found that the secret to this is to find someone who's the sort of obnoxious person who always has a "high priority" dumb request, and to make sure you're helpful enough that you'll always get that request, which you can safely ignore for the rest of the day knowing that you'll draw their ire but the fact that you solved it at all means they'll keep coming back.
