Entertaining Yourself

Dragan

After you guys are done making **** jokes, i was wondering about the silly things that people have done to entertain themselves.

After being abandoned in Bristol airport by Ryanair for 8 hours on my way back from the Banksy exhibit I had the inspired idea of drawing a load of rather cubic cocks on the Etch-a-Sketches that they had for sale in the shop.

So, when trapped with little to do, in an environment that allows you to do very little...what do you do?

I used to play tracksuit bingo. Just crossing off different variations of tracksuits you see while you are waiting. Good if you have a boring class and there's a non-uniform day.
Guess you can use it in other places as well.

If I'm bored at home, then on one of my instruments. Anywhere else, quietly sing to myself, count things (always good when you've finished an exam - count tiles on the ceilings or number of lights), make up stories in my head.

Anything to pass the time really.

I was bored and there was no heating, so I blowtorched a whole can of Lynx. Room was definitely warmer afterwards. Funny smell though.

I count the tiles in a room or the cracks on the pavement. Yeah, I do like to count things.

dr.bollocko

I start counting the number of letters in individual words that come to my head.
1 5 8 3 6 2 7 2 10 5 4 4 2 2 4 for example.
For example is 3 7.

I have a remarkable ability to sit in one place and do nothing. I'll have no trouble sitting in a chair for 3 hours just day dreaming.

tie a couple of sausages to your chest and run around the airport shouting ""BOMB""

Poor Uncle Tom

Counting is a favourite,
looking around at objects and making materials lists,
working out exactly how things are made or operate (mechanical means only),
looking at wheels turning - wondering what the optimum weight and size flywheel the engine should have to run the wheels.
working out volumes - concrete in floors, bricks in buildings, etc.,

endless fun, really

I spend my time day dreaming about what some female boards members would look like playing the wii in their underwear

Peoplewatch. It's amazing what you notice and pick up on or what signals people don't realise they are giving off.

Knee Grow Plz

I watch deep people doing deep things that I could never fathom.

Then I just try and nap, while waiting.

falipo

I'm quite happy people watching, particularly trying to make up back stories or pretending what conversations people are having.

That sounds very weird reading that back...

Who can say? All I know is that it's dead handy for long journeys.

Im a big fan of counting things myself..

Or if im in a big building or in one that has a lot of people I imagine what I would do if some disaster was to happen..zombie invasion..terrorists and the like you know...

Dragan

People watching and counting seem to be big favourites.

I tend to write a lot of music in my head these days, then try and keep it in there till i get home.

I take drugs and watch people like you, then I write songs too.

Sometimes I make films or write scripts for films.

When one gets bored who knows what crazy things can happen.

Don't worry, I do the same

(or maybe we should both worry) :eek:

People watching or just sitting still for a while and just being.
At time it is nice to not be doing anything or rushing anywhere and just let the time trickle by.

Writing and sleeping.

hum/tap along or just play out stupid/funny songs in my head

When I am traveling (and I do A LOT) I always bring a number of things with me.

1. A Sony E-Book reader (Has 900+ books on it)
2. A small (linux based) Acer notebook.
3. PSP loaded with music, audio books, films and games.

I've been stuck in too many airports, strange places and work areas, not to have learned a few lessons on how to deal with boredom.
