One fun thing to do is exactly what your supervisor tells you to do. Nothing more, nothing less. You have to take what they say literally, no matter how ridiculous the outcome. This might be difficult for people who have no experience being pedantic, but it's amazingly effective at highlighting how stupid your boss is.
For example, if they tell you to set up a meeting to talk about performance, set one up in your calendar. Don't invite anybody, not even them. They didn't tell you too, remember. If they tell you to finish a task before lunch, don't go to lunch until you finish the task ... even if it puts them out of compliance with labor laws. You just have to be literal and the fun can be amazing.
