When the manager thinks we are overloaded by frequent overtime work due to the schedule pressure, a team building would come, but at that time I would rather take a good sleep.

We don't go on "trips" but we do have a lot of fun in house things.
Every month my manager will email the department a list of "holidays". These are things like Pancake Tuesday (2/5), Puzzle Day, National Pie Day, etc.
Each month we'll usually grab one or two of the food days and celebrate as a department. For Pancake Tuesday our director made pancakes for everyone from 9am - 10am. On National Kite Day in the summer we all went outside and flew kites for a couple of hours. Sometimes it's corny but it's a lot of fun and a great way to relieve stress. Summer is our "off season" (we're a school district) so we'll typically do something every other Friday. One time we did a BBQ and played Guitar Hero during lunch. 
We also go out once a month to a nearby restaurant for birthdays and such.

I put no, but we are similar to you.
We have an IT luncheon once every quarter and my group goes out for people's birthdays, but there are only 4 people in the group and 2 have the same birthday and the other two are in the same month, so that's pretty infrequent.

Any sport where you can inflict pain and suffering on your coworkers and if you are really lucky take on another department is to be lauded .

I never went to our paintballing event so missed the sight of a Manager being shot by what can best be described as 'friendly (sic) fire' - said manager was soooooo p*ssed off that someone would shoot - in the back as well .....
...just as well as I didnt go, real bullets wouldve been the go

Fortunately, not all "team building" organizers go for exercises where the team members risk life or limb (at least not that much).
In my present job, team building events have included out-of-office events in nice resort hotels, cooking together in a restaurant under the watchful guidance of real cooks (and eating the result), canoing in still waters (no white-water stunts), various party-style athletics, and go-cart races.
This message is hasty and is not to be taken as serious, professional or legally binding.
I work with low level C/C++ in user and kernel mode, but also dabble in other areas.

Yes, but not for I.T. thank God. The Call centre are off canoeing and windsurfing all the time......they still all hate each other (only joking )

we have mandatory team meetings, does that count?

I suppose if they are mandatory it wouldn't consititute as building, though if they weren't mandatory a lot of people wouldn't go. 
In my case, we are don't really need those as we are a small team and we were friends before we started working together. So very regularly we watch movies together, take walks, play FIFA 2008 against each other, watch anime and go to church together. Quite a close knit team I should think and these things just come up spontaneously most of the time.
Let's make things simpler than possible.

This happens several times a year with the people I work with. It's more of a social gathering but I think the end results are the about the same. Urge to kill coworkers is slightly reduced.(Unless they took all my money.)

I get to work in peace twenty miles from the rest of the department and only go to the main office under duress.

The happy feely team building excersizes are ok. But my company is mostly computer geeks, so we have a monthly game night. Even the business people get into it.
It builds moral and encourages team building. The company buys dinner and everyone looks forward to it. The games we play on the network force people who normally don't work together, to play and strategize together. A trust fall is ok, but not nearly as fun as fragging your boss.

I've been at the current job for only 5 weeks and haven't noticed anything of the sort.
In the old place, they had such things only for the managers and sales people.

I would rather recall and cherish those memorable college days where we had picnic to Ooty ('Queen of Hill Stations' in India).
We had bitter experience in my previous organization team building spirit with one the member running amuck in his political spree and the heavy attrition that struck aftermath.

I just count myself lucky that the company hasn't been put into liquidation, never mind team building days!
Never argue with an imbecile; they bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

Absolutely true. First there is a dire need for ensuring the basic survival strategy. After which, we can comfortably look at topping up, flavoring and peppering it with Team Building and other fancy things.

In our case, we were friends before working together, and it is a small team. Everything we do that can be classified as a team-building thing is of our own initiative, and usually from our own pockets but we don't mind.
We are all in the same small office so we see a lot of each other while working and playing. Best times of course are meal times (lunch is the only official one - company provides), and since we are geeks that are more comfortable on computers, we also have dinner together in the office around 8 or 9PM.
The only people who are negatively affected by our activities are the cleaning ladies every morning having to pick up pizza boxes, vacuum crumbs and things from the carpet and clean up coke (the drink) stains from desk surfaces.
Let's make things simpler than possible.

I had to do team building exercise regularly (twice a month) in my previous company.. I kinda hate playing those games when I haven't finished my project or I'm exploring something... but the company forced me to play those games so I make those games to end no matter whether I lose or win.
but now, my current company didn't make any game... I've been working in my current company for 8 months. I miss those games that I played in my previous company..
another thing.. In my previous company, there is a team called "Birthday Club" that take care of celebrating the birthday for all employees.. Everybody (including manager or boss) say "Happy B'day" to B-boy or girl on his/her b'day.. I love this culture.. but now, noone notices about my b'day in my current company.. None cares about b'day.. I was really sad on my b'day and I really miss my previous company...

Same here. I have not once had the company i work for get a cake for me on my birthday and I have been there for almost 11 years. They have done it for others...
In fact they have not even acknowledged the fact that I have been there 10 years.

This is a profession where people tend not to socialize.
Most coders enclosure themselves on their tasks and on their own space and forgot that there are people around.
Most talk to each other through MSN even if they're on the same room, So that "team" is and will always be a working and virtual team never a group of friends that work together. You tend to forget that on the other side it's a person there... maybe you don't forget, you just don't think of it that way.
Of course that with time everyone will loose the geek feeling and miss some hugs and kisses, miss that someone would remember that's your birthday, miss that someone would invite you for a beer after work.
It's never too late to start talking (with your mouth  )
I don't know if you fit on this description, maybe not but I wasn't trying to guess whatsoever about you personally, don't take it personal and I'm not judging anyone here...
This is just what really happens far too often and "the geek" actually like it and want it this way until...
P.S.:
Have you noticed that a lot of coders are even divorced or single (most without girl/boyfriend).
A wife demands "you" there for her, for the house, for the kids and will hold until there's no hope and some are more hopeful then others
Cheers,
Alex

True. When both are working; particularly husband works in day shift and the wife goes for night shifts, where there is a point to meet each other.

I don't think that's the worst scenario.
The really bad comes when both are at home at the same time but one is frenetically striking the keys while the other does all the rest, alone.
