Weird Things You've Done Out of Boredom.

    I was bored in India once and saw a chicken coup selling live chickens with the in house butcher chopping up the next purchased chicken. Felt sorry for them so I bought one for about €4 and tied some string around his neck and brought him walking along the beach for a while. The string wasn't really working to well so mainly had to carry him in my arms. Bought him some food and basically brought him on a date.

    After getting to know each other and meeting some of the locals and other high jinx, I waded into the water and threw him in to the air. I thought it would be funny to release him in this way. He fluttered around and swam/ran away, probably to be mauled by some wild dog, but maybe not.

    He had a better chance of survival due to my actions than where he was. So before the moral brigade get on their NSPCA high horses (is that not literal animal cruelty?), it was mutually beneficial for both of us.

    It is the home of Supermacs and surely must of being the best supermacs experience of your life.


    I used to live next to a golf course and periodically I would steal golf balls off the fairway. Them old fat lads really can move when you disappear off with their golf ball and particularly when they hit a half decent shot and distance. To get near my hiding spot they would have to of hit it over half way down the fairway on a par 4.

    I found a massive box of matches and built a beacon tower thing out of them (á la lord of the rings), then set it on fire for the craic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭jugger0


    I pull hairs from my eyebrows/arms/nose... i ripped out a chunk of my eyebrow before, leaving a very noticeable baldspot.:o

    Went out my back garden one night pouring salt on snails and slugs when i was 18, studying for the leaving i was....

    The best thing ive ever done when bored was pulling a verruca out of my foot using a scissors, the feeling of relief and accomplishment was unreal, and to this day it has never grown back!

    I have various weird things I built out of ice cream sticks when I was a kid, used to love going to the beach and collecting ice cream sticks!

    Another time I was in school I superglued a two euro coin to the floor and that was great fun watching people trying to pick it up.....

    meh now I'm bored, i'll snort some white substance off a hookers ass I think!

    One night (still lived at home at the time) was back in the house with one of my friends after a night of boozing. It was around that time of the night when all the terrestrial channels stopped broadcasting (twas before the time of multiroom viewing on the sky box) so being bored and drunk we decided to make food.

    Raided the fridge and found a jumbo pack of cocktail sausages. In our drunken state, we decided that putting them under the grill would take too long and would require too much cleaning, so we put half the pack on a plate and put them in the microwave. While the first batch were microwaving we decided it'd be a great idea to use the other sausages to make a 'burger patty' and that this would be the most epic thing ever eaten, so we got the sausage meat out of the skins and put it on another plate and put it in to microwave while we were eating the sausages. We were pretty distracted stuffing our faces when suddenly my friend looked up and went 'oh ****!'. There was smoke billowing out of the microwave and when we opened it the 'patty' was like charcoal in the middle but totally raw on the outsides!! I tells ya we weren't bored after that, spent the rest of the night trying to clean the microwave and get the smell out of the kitchen!

    Cut all the sulpher parts of a box of matches off the ends and arranged them into the letters of my name and lit it thereby burning my name into the surface beneath.

    Got matchbox cars and put them through a vice to crumple them and took lighter fluid and created a model car crash.

    Oh, fire is a great one when bored, making a makeshift mini flamethrower out of deodorant and a lighter used to be a favourite time waster of mine, or doing as jimthemental did, never managed to get myself caught in that one though...

    My hand only went up because it was soaked in the stuff, and resting near the puddle of flammable liquid when I lit it. It didn't burn though, barely even got warm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,199 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    Put a tea bag in the microwave to see if they would ignite. Got bored after 10 minutes after nothing happened.....so put in some Zip fire lighters!


    Feck all happened :(

    During the JC I crushed up a packet of refreshers at lunchtime to make it as powdery as possible, and then snorted it.
    Sneezed for about 20 minutes and then a chunk of it came out of my eye during the next class. Kinda hard to explain to Mr Munroe our science teacher why theres pink gunk coming out of your eye.

    More recently, while waiting for Game of Thrones to download I photoshopped Sean Bean into numerous photos from LOTR and different Bond films. Unfortunately I never saved 'em. Hit about 24 images before the download finished.

    Shaved lightening bolts into my leg hair.

    Sprayed deep heat on the nutsack, not recommended!

    Also picked all the jalapenos off a pizza once, eat the pizza without them, then ate all the jalapenos at once on a spoon just to see what would happen. Once again, not recommended

    Twas a bit of a crappy end to the night ;) and all our cleaning efforts were in vain, my mum bought a new microwave the next day cos the smell was so bad.

    Actually another night we were over in a friends' house watching a DVD, one of the guys was a bit of a stoner and had been smoking a good bit that night. We were all there watching the DVD and he found a can of lynx behind the sofa and started spraying it up and down his arm, none of us took much notice really until he'd sprayed so much that we were suffocating and asked him to stop. Seconds later we hear this sound like 'whuump!' and look around to see he's taken a lighter and set fire to his arm!!

    I used to rent VHS from local stores on friends accounts, put selotape over the copyright protector bit, hook up another VHS player, get some of my finest xxx and record random filthy porn scenes in the middle of films.

    i remember one time at cristmas i got a piece of about 3mm rubber tube and shoved it up my knob and then jerked off through it.

    Sometimes i've crossed the field out onto the railway trak with TP and went for a sh!te down there. Do that sometimes but i don't know why really.

    At weekends in college i have spent practically whole weekends watching pornos on the web. It gets boring after a while as it's just the same thing over and over.

    Returning to the snorting theme.

    You guys earlier were doing it wrong. You're not supposed to snort things yourself - you are supposed to convince someone else to do it. Some mates once convinced another mate to snort vodka.......hilarious results for us bystanders

    While driving, bored in traffic, I tied the lace from front of my tracksuit bottoms to the steering wheel. Lights then went green, tried to turn left but couldn't turn far enough to make 90 degree turn cos of knot, all the trying to turn tightened the knot, so couldn't open while driving.
    Ended up taking about a 20 degree turn into a petrol station just missing a bollard n had to sit accross the entrance for 3 minutes untying myself.
    Good times!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    I was only about 8 or 9 and was left sitting in a car with a friend, we had a scissors and some plastic straws, we proceeded to chop uo the plastic straws into short lenghts and then we thought it would be funny to snort them, we continued anyway, snorting and blowing them out, until I snorted a tad too much. ended up with plastic stuck up my nose for about three days and nose bleeds for a week...

    I suspect Permethrin ingestion might have had more to do with the spiders demise :(

    Great craic spraying the bastard flies though, isn't it? :Dhttp://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=73160657

    When I was a kid I got bored once and decided to see if I could shove one of the little round magnet things you would get in them little travel chess games and that up one side of my nostril and make it come done the other... to my suprise it didn't work and ended up in a trip to the hospital with a rather angry mother!

    When I was kid I also figured out making a flamethrower from deodorant and a lighter. We lived in an estate that was just being built, I absolutely hated spiders, so much of one summer was spent with me and my cousin climbing about the houses and burning spiders with it + numerous innanimate objects.

    Got bored at a friends house party once a few years ago, couple of us started talking about drugs, I've never done any sort of drug so had no idea what it was physically like to snort something, one friend spied a box of washing up powder in the kitchen and told me to snort some to see, mixed in some crushed up paracetamol for no real reason, I figured meh why not lets see...I strongly dislike snorting stuff :D

    Occassionally when really bored I'll randomly google people I knows names. Never brings up anything but the usual facebook page etc...but I'm convinced one day I'll get some dramatic, juicy secret or hidden past pop up!

    This is going back a few years now, but one hungover sunday me and a bunch of friends were bored and came up with a way of amusing ourselves, we went out and bought a hundred litres of washing up liquid, and went to an a certain fountian ad poured the hundred litres in was funny seeing peoples reactions to it, people were stopping there cars getting out totake photos of it. On the same day we bought a little dingy and went to a fe parks a found tiny lil ponds and started rowing around them people didnt know what to make of it, ah to to be hat young again.

    In college, we made a bottle tower in the window of the kitchen. Kept adding to it til we could fit no more. We then would put the caps on some of the bottles to make designs for different occasions.
    Paddy's Day
    Easter
    Christmas
    No occasion
