There's no glamour for some participants in the 2012 London Olympics. Case in point: Hundreds of workers who have to keep watch, maintain order and give directions to the masses swarming around Olympic Park.

They spend hours upon hours saying the same thing over and over. They give the same directions hundreds of times a day. They stare into the crowd as it blends into one giant colorful sea of humanity.

It's understandable, then, when you see videos like the one above. In all fairness, though, it's done in good fun. The workers have been encouraged to use their wit.

Thanks to @ollygourley on Twitter for posting the video.
