Contrary to the belief that boredom is not a silent killer, a study conducted in the late 1980s in London proved that people who often get bored are 2.5 percent more likely to die from heart problems than those who rarely feel boredom. That is probably why we have managed to compile such a colorful and entertaining list of funny people trying to escape from the grips of the yawn.
It seems that being stuck in a never-ending queue, at work without having anything to do, or trying to watch a movie with a stubbornly asleep significant other, wake up the deepest and most creative parts of human imagination. You really don't have to endure being bored witless, but instead, spend your time recreating famous classical paintings with things you found at home, or you can count and separate your gummy bears by color or even make furniture for ants. The possibilities for fun things to do are limitless!
One thing is true when talking about dullness, though - only boring people get bored, and these guys and gals proved to be fruitful imaginarians when it comes to spending their spare time. Check out our funny picture list of the shenanigans these brave people did to save themselves from the increased 2.5 percent risk of future heart problems. Hopefully, you'll find some great hints on what to do when bored! Don’t forget to vote for the most creative ideas.

I Got Bored With The Drab Walls At My Office, So I Decided To Spruce Them Up A Bit
A Girl I Know Got Bored In Class And Drew This Guy's Shirt
This is what I did in school. Always drawing on my notes or decorating a note for 30 mins that took 1 min to read. Now I'm a freelance artist that loves graphic design and pyrography.
Doesn't have the mouth or fins quite right, but pretty good for a quick sketch. Wonder what the class subject was. . . :-)
It Was A Slow Day In The ER
I didn't know slow days in the ER existed. Hospital is always full and crazy when I go there.
Agreed. I've had to make 3 trips to the ER this year and not one of those were less than a 12 hour wait. It's disgusting.

Bored At Office? Got An Idea For You
Reminds me of a joke about a man who bought a little brass rat in a gift shop. As he was heading home, he realized that hundreds, then thousands, then a whole horde of rats were following him wherever he went. Unable to shake the rats, he headed to the river that ran through the middle of town and threw the brass rat in. All the rats scampered into the river, where they drowned. The next day, Our Hero went back to the gift shop and told the clerk what happened. She told him he had better not be asking for a refund. He said, "No, I was just wondering if you happened to have a little brass lawyer." Of course, for "lawyer" you can substitute any sort of person you want to bash.

If You're Ever Bored At Work Try Taping An Onion Or Jalapeño On Your Coworker
we used to do this, but with pegs / butterfly clips.... the aim was to attach it to a coworker, without them realising it. The "winner" was the one who pegged the most, and was rewarded with drinks bought for them at the end of shift. Or.... the "loser" was the one who got pegged the most, and had to buy everyone else a round. Ah, the joys of working in retail...
Getting pegged the most sounds like an absolute win to me.
Load More Replies...I imagine with the onion he would think the smell is following him and would make for amusing times watching your co-worker get madder and madder.

That's just vandalism (unless they were SUPPOSED to pull up the plants). Not too nice for the cars, either.
Even then, it's scratching the paint on the cars, so it STILL is vandalism. What a jerk to do that.
Load More Replies...This isn't from boredom. It's from wanting to vandalize and seeing an opportunity. Not funny.
How many hoods were scratched up in the process and how many of the plants died? This is just senseless...smh.
I feel like this would be one of the scenarios on a "Farmers Insurance" commercial... u know the "wE aRe FaRmErS BuM Ba bUmP BuM BUm BuM BuM"
