Stupid **** You Do To Entertain Yourself
 
Do you do anything that's essentially lost on everyone else but still keeps you amused? Post em here.

One of my latest projects has been putting up subtle jokes in my dorm. I put an E.E. Cummings book by the toilet and another where we keep the kleenex.

When I'm really stoned at night I like to wander outside and find an area that's pitch black and stare into it until I start seeing things.

I also like to comb my mustache to no visible effect.

I make abnormal and erratic vocalizations, and I like to fall down on purpose and throw myself into objects.

Scarlett O'Hara 01-24-2014 02:52 PM

I use my phone while taking a dump, because I can't handle 5 minutes without it. I religiously use notalwaysright.com and noalwaysworking.com on my phone. I like to colour in Disney books.

I like to make awkward eye contact with strangers when I find they're staring at me. I also make a point to get in a customer's way to pick up something they dropped (with no intention of putting it back where it belongs) and then give them the glare of death.

Team Fortress 2 and Tumblr occupy way too much of my time these days.

Do this as well. Got a 147 on Total Snooker the other day. Enjoy a spot of poo-posting too :cool:.

Not quite the same but I squish my eyeballs until I see colours sometimes.

I usually use that time to watch a Youtube video or two.

Or I will check out some google+ communities.

If I'm traveling in a car and there's a speck of dirt on the window, I like to imagine it's a person running parkour style against the backdrop of the scenery that we're driving past. As we approach things; a tree, a house, a lamppost, I move my head slightly up or downwards and thus the person 'clears' the obstacle. If you get the timing right it's quite convincing.

Sometimes when walking home I close my eyes and keep walking, the most steps I've taken without opening my eyes again is 7, I always bottle it and when I open my eyes I'm still in the middle of the pavement anyway.

Another thing I do is when walking down the road, if there's another person on the other side walking in the same direction and in front of me, I race them. Sometimes I underestimate the competitor and they are quite a fast walker & I don't always set the finish line (a certain landmark, post box, next street etc) far enough ahead and end up almost sprinting to protect my undefeated record.

I ask myself questions that have yes or no answers based on things I want to happen, then set myself a challenge in my head based on what I'm doing and if I'm successful then said scenario happens, e.g. if I throw this apple core in the bin, Villa will win tonight. If I miss I just throw it again until it lands in the bin.

If that's the case, then there are some other people here who make posts while taking a shit.

Walking in a silly, often stupid, fashion around my house. It's cheery somehow.

I try to emulate drum beats/solos/fills with my fingers on my desk at work. My coworkers find this annoying. *shrug*

Finding the right song to match the beat of the windshield wipers or turn signal always makes me smile.

Me too. My fav is that thing where you talk while breathing in. I was doing that breathing in screech thing years before that guy on Harold and Kumar was. I call it the Imperial Screech, so called because my friend called himself the Kaizer of Prussia (he wouldn't listen to me when I told him Prussia only ever had a king) and I was the Emperor of Austria-Hungary. Our logic was that since these countries no longer exist then it was impossible to tell us that we weren't.

Never, ever call me.

I do want to see Frozen but the fact that it's a Disney movie makes me hesitant.

This. Plus she has IBS, so I'd probably be able to hear all kinds of splooshing and splashing. Gross.

Frownland 02-25-2014 08:19 PM

I have ridiculous fake conversations on the phone in front of groups of people.

"You didn't get the abortion? You have to sell it. (pause) If you want a baby we can get you a better one, a white one! OK, I'll call my guy. I love you mom."

Oh wow. How do the fake conversations go?

Psychedub Dude 02-26-2014 08:34 AM

My brothers and I have a tendency to add sch to every word randomly (it's a recurring joke) so a lot of our conversations get lost on others around.

Hey, I used to do exactly the same thing, Fluffy!!
I was fascinated by how difficult it is. I even tried it a few times in the middle of an empty football pitch, but still only managed about five paces. It`s extraordinary how your instinct (Open your eyes! ) triumphs over your rational mind (There`s nothing dangerous, you just checked). Also had a similar sensation to yours when I opened my eyes; convinced I was going to hit a lampost, then finding it was still 10 yards away.

I suspect that most of us have played race-the-pedestrian at one time or another, but your speck-of-dirt exercise is a real original - think I might try that myself sometime ...

Thanks a lot man, yeah try it, it's really fun.

I live quite close to a big field with football pitches on, might try walking with my eyes shut there, see how many I can do.

PoorOldPo 02-27-2014 01:26 AM

I put a load of crab apples in a formation and then fire **** at them, like arrows and spears. Usually when I'm stoned.

Batlord, I'm going to be the MB bully and shove your face into the toilet after the spooshing.

Oh and you don't get symptoms of IBS every day it's dependent on food, stress or both.

So does that mean you got the Hershey squirts whenever they did a pop quiz in school?

I used to have magazines in front of my beloved toilet. Now there's my netbook... so I am setting some passengers free right now. Stupid things I do: I'm hooked on Street Fighter II and PES09... I'm 35.
