Things to do when you're bored

If you are getting bore then these are few little and funny things that will take away all you're boredom.


1. Blink Eyes: 

See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message. It works for 1-5 minutes. 

2. How long you can hold a note:

Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note. It works for 5-20 minutes.

3. Try not to thing about penguins:

This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway. It works for 1-5 minutes.

4. Secret Mind Powers:

Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out.It works for 5-10 minutes.

5. Pretend you're a robot:

Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment. It works for 1-5 minutes.

6. Scratch yourself:

Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good? It works for 1-3 minutes.

7. Pretend to be a car:

Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity. It works for 5-10 minutes.

8. Star Trek noises:

Stand by an electric door to a bank or something and make that silly "Scccccccchwop" sound heard whenever people popped on to the bridge to hang with Captain Kirk. It works for 1-3 minutes.

9. Make a buzzing noise:

Hours of fun in libraries! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts. It works for 15-30 minutes.

10. Get yourself nauseated:

Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the "makes boredom seem a lot better" effect (see "Hurt Yourself"). 

Thank-you! Hope it will be a fun :)
