The term can also mean to take unfair advantage. For example, if someone has a food buffet and one guest clearly takes more than his expected share. It can also relate to an abuse of trust, such as ""You can use my 'phone, but don't take the piss!"", i.e. do not abuse my offer of assistance by making lengthy calls that will cost me a lot of money. Equally, a wilfully unproductive employee could be described as "taking the piss" for accepting a wage while knowingly failing to deliver on their obligation, or an employer could be accused of "taking the piss" for making unreasonable requests of their employees, e.g. expecting them to do unpaid overtime.
