Weirdest thing you've done to pass away the time

Worked in a large Pharmacueticals plant with rather large plant rooms and a pallet truck. Used to use the pallet trucks in a similar method to those 3 wheeled devices you see kids with now a days and race around the plant rooms to get around quicker. Was great fun to say the least.

Ha, did the same when I worked in a supermarket. We'd race in the deliveries area, it had a ramp as well so you could built up some speed.

It was great fun, but I had no ramps. So I had to build up momentum myself by pulling back on the handle and turning it quickly. I used to get some speed up, which was the funny part.

When I was a teen, I went through a phase where I attempted to pierce different parts of my body... using a thick sewing needle and a lit candle to singe the tip. *cough* I learned a lot about my threshold for pain and had some cool piercings to show off at school.

Was that safe?

Not at all. I ended up with some gnarly infections and scarring from certain attempts. >_o; And I ended up letting most of the more 'successful' ones close up. Only have the outer helix and tragus left on my right ear left.

Not necessarily a good idea. I had a lip piercing done professionally and wish I kept it. Addicted to tattoos aswell, need to get another soon :P

I can relate... I got my very first one a year ago and I've been so restless to get another. I just can't figure out what I want or where I want it. Call me crazy, but that buzz and feeling of the needle against your skin... ooooh. Gives you shivers. The good kind.

I love the feel of the tatto gun Feels very nice.

Me and a friend went spear fishing....in a river with no fish....with no way to get the spears back after we had thrown them.

Worst thing I have done is play Tetris all night... Of course it stopped me sleeping even more, because every time I shut my eyes afterwards, all I could see were Tetris blocks falling and I was still slotting them all together :eek: . So I spent the rest of the night researching the known phenomenon of "The Tetris Effect"... Not a good way to spend an evening in fairness :rolleyes: .

Working in post production, you tend to find yourself with quite a bit of spare time. We had one contract for a month back last summer, where I had about 5 hours downtime every night, whilst I was waiting for footage to encode.

After about day two of this, I began to hatch a plan. I had a spare Xbox at home, and one of the audio suites had a 50 inch LCD in it for clients to view work in progress, not to mention the 5.1 surround sound speakers within the room.

So for the guts of a month; every night I would sneak my Xbox into the room, connect it up to the TV and speakers and game for between 4 - 6 hours, completely undisturbed whilst waiting for my footage to be ready.

Then in the morning before I left, I'd pack up my console again. Reconnect all the cables and outputs in the audio suite. Sneak the box containing the console under a load of other boxes, and head home. No one ever found out, except for one guy who was sworn to secrecy in return for 12 consecutive matches of Black Ops.

Okay. Not exactly weird or anything; but definitely the best way I whiled away time. :pac:

I started going over my old uni maths notes about 4 weeks ago... Not good!

I once took apart an old Gateway 2000 PC partly out of curiosity but mostly out of boredom. I took out the hard drive, CD drive, floppy disc drive (remember those!), modem and a few other bits and pieces and cleaned the dust off everything. EVERYTHING. Got the motherboard looking spotless. Had a nice little look at it all and put the whole lot back together again.

Riveting story I know.
