Things you do while bored.

[Cato the Younger]

I personally do the following:

Boredom Induced (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)

[Tarrick]

I stare mindless at a blank wall?

Typically I spin up my creativity drive and start working on a random story or piece of art.

[Jezebel]

The only times I really get bored are either when I have to do a tedious task I don't want to do (such as at work or doing chores), or if I'm stuck waiting somewhere I don't want to be and didn't get to bring any of my personal belongings. Otherwise, I always feel like I don't have enough time to do all the things I would enjoy doing.



Or was this thread just supposed to be a reaction to your 'trick'? In that case...

Oh, you got me. ::)

[Zeinland]

Heh, what to do? What to do?.... Well if i get bored... I just grab a pencil and some peace of paper.
Then start a topic in my head... and let the two voices talk to each other ( Yes Iv'e got voices in my head, there quite more intellegent than I am)

Example: Topic War

My mind then start's asking me question's about War and most of them are fun!!!

Typically I spin up my creativity drive and start working on a random story or piece of art.

I do that. Go out and take some random photos, draw something if I have the inspiration. I have several stories started... and never finished. The best one I've written is in one of my friend/editor's hands... and she doesn't remember where she put it. The single one I ever finished is lost in the desktop PC my golden touch has killed.

I also pick up books to read on a regular basis.
Make some good food for once, maybe?

[INTJohn]

How bout mindless sensate activities like over drinking and masturbation.

I prefer getting in my car and taking a drive. When my motorcycle was up and runnig, I'd take that for a ride preferentially. Either one can kill a couple of hours.

When bored, I just start reading on the internet. I usually start by looking at my favourites list catching up on my interests then I will read something else within that which will take my interest which thus sets me off researching that subject... sounds like a vicious circle doesnt it ? I need to get out more...

[biased]

4chan an anonymous imageboard where many of the popular internet memes have started. It is an imitation of Japan's "futaba channel". I suspect many of the users are INTJ. Tons of sarcasm and depending on the board you visit it may be completely NSFW. This keeps me entertained since it's constantly changing and the novelty factor doesn't wear off (usually there are exceptions).

[bikerscars]

i guess i'm lucky...

i can't remember the last time i was bored...

now if i'm looking to kill time i always resort to reading or surfing the net

[generalowk]

I don't get 'bored' often, but I'll work on some lists as well. Favorite songs, albums, movies, books, etc.

[qwerty]

keep my mind from wondering by pondering lifes deep questions...

Or if I could I'd sneak into peoples houses and move their keys into obscure places and steal socks from their washing machines

Rules 1 & 2, srsly.

When I'm bored at work (i.e. bored of visiting all the forums I travel around), I tend to decide that it would probably be a good idea to do the work that's allocated to me.

[wise]

I read forums.

I play word games.

I read forums.

I check email.

I read forums.

ad naseum

[mind_wander]

All the listed above expect word games, unless doing school work is considered a big puzzle.

[ShaiGar]

I grab a book from my library, lie down in my airconditioned bed, and read... or I try and organise my webspace

[Doppelbock]

Sometimes when I'm bored I'll spend some time here:

It's a parody of wikipedia. I'll hit the "random page" link on the left side for a while to entertain myself. Some funny stuff here.

DB

[Epicurus]

Stare into the ceiling or a wall, have a look on some different forums, play some flash games, worry about all the things I should do and maybe even doing them.

[Natrushka]

Like a few other posters, I don't get bored that often. I spend a lot of time in my head. I may look bored, but I assure you I'm not.

[Quincunx]

Though such travestry of boredom is very rare for me, I frequently spend it watching something highly amusing, such as the O'Reilly (I don't CARE how his name is spelled) show. I also draw random diagrams on pieces of paper to illustrate some obscure, moot idea I had when I was six.

Uncyclopedia is also awesome.

[escapist11]

I play with boxes.

Yess!
*high five to uncyclopedia!*

[searcher]

mindless repetitive things. Play knucklebones, get a book and type out a few pages of it. Do pages of algebra. That kind of thing.

[PortInStorm]

laugh over The Onion.

[Zilal]

I tend to eat when bored, which is terrible, but I suspect a lot of people do it.

[apotheon]

I tend to start cleaning my house when I am bored.

[dandylion]

I put on headphones and sing extremely loudly. And dance while I'm at it. When no one is home. I am more likely to do this if my neighbors are playing loud music. Then I try to do it really badly and somewhat off key to piss them off. And/or to make them aware that we can hear each other.

[TheLastMohican]

I read threads titled "Things you do while bored."

I also do things a bit like that... :)

[malefide]

Let's see.

- do cryptograms/puzzles
- work on my constructed languages
- study
- clean the house
- read
- retreat into a dark corner with my computer(s)

Wait! You read too?!
After being on this planet for some time, I was beginning to think that I was the only one! I'm so psyched!:thumbsup:

:thumbsdown:Boo for all my peers who can't read a book on their own.

Random idiot: "I hate reading!"
ME thinking: That's probably because you can't:blank:

ME: Do you read books?
Some idiot: "Yes, I read."
ME: I don't mean books you HAVE to read for class. I mean on your own.
Same idiot: "Oh. No! Why would I do that?"

Them: What do you like to do for fun?
ME: I like to read
Them: Freak.
ME: Robot.

I read voraciously. So do many other INTJ's. Who knew it was so uncommon?

I read all the time.
I thought I was the only one.
Then about 2 days ago I discovered this forum and :idea:
There ARE others like me out there!

Ripley's Believe It Or Not Fact #237: There have been confirmed reports of ESFP's who like to read! :stunned:

[ethsar46]

I usually just start day dreaming about whatever comes to mind. This is essentially most of what i do during work atm since i dont have and work pretty much.

If that doesnt work, and im at home ill just play a game on my PC or watch a movie or my anime.

[Markam]

There ARE others like me out there!

Like me :)

[notoppings]

When I get bored I usually find a old movie that I haven't watched more then 100 times and enjoy seeing new things in it, no matter how many times I watch something I always seem to find something new I guess thats why their classics.

I thought reading was a pretty common pass-time. o_O

[buddingscholar]

SLEEP. What else could there be to do???

[Uberfuhrer]

I type on forums.

[escapist11]

When I was bored just now, I left the crappy dance I was at and came back to my room.
: )

I thought it was too but some of the cretins in my generation don't know how to do it...

Hey, don't insult all the others INTJ's in your generation!

So there.

What else did you mean by "the cretins in my generation don't know how to (read)?"

[Timdotz]

Um.. Listen to music, have a list of things of interest to me to research or read on wikipedia, read a bit more on wikipedia, play Lux Delux (Risk) online and laugh at how dumb everyone else is, look up images of mansions on google, play some chopin on the piano or just watch some movie I've watched, 100 times again.:stunned: I also like googling friends and family and see what they've been up to on the internet.. Google is my one-stop answer-everything dictionary.

[True Rune]

I read threads titled "Things you do while bored."
lol.

I play with weapons outside. Though I do it when I'm not bored too, it's part of my alone time..

[gogurtdynasty]

i second that but it's pretty apparent that I'm not "bored" very often :-P

[nickasummers]

I read, memorize random crap, or choose a forum and press the F5 key every minute until someone posts, read the post, and repeat. And once I used the internet to find a classmates phone number just to prove that I can.

[DrEast]

Wikipedia surfing.
