Sitting in waiting rooms, waiting for meals or standing in line are situations where you might be bored. Be bold and experiment with activities to keep you entertained. You'll capture the attention of others while amusing yourself. These activities are also a great way to pass the time.
Be a Robot in Public
Pretend you're a robot while walking down the street. Walk with stiff arms and legs. Make strange robot noises. Wear sunglasses to look at all the strange expressions you get from others This can be extremely hilarious and entertaining when bored.
Give Mental Scorecards
While sitting around waiting for a bus or your meal to arrive, glance around you. Look at someone and make a mental scorecard. Rate them in general. Rate their fashion, hair, manners and more. Think of comments to put on the scorecard. For example, she really needs to give that piece of pie back to the waiter.
Stare at Someone's Head
See whether others can sense you're watching them. Select a random person. Set the stopwatch timer on your cell phone or look at a clock. Stare at the back of the person's head. Quickly glance down or away when they turn around. Write down how long it took for them to look at you. Repeat with someone else. Give yourself points if you don't give yourself away by laughing.
Gargling Game
A gargling game works best with another person, but you can time yourself for this fun activity while you're bored. Fill your mouth with water. Set the stopwatch timer on your cell phone or look at a clock. Start gargling and making noises. The winner of the gargling game is the person who doesn't laugh, spit out their water or stop gargling first.
If you're playing by yourself, do this three times and see how much you can extend your time. It's harder than you think to keep a straight face while playing this game.
