[flyover]

Swim some lengths of the pool, but no with exercising intention.

Yes! I also like just going underwater and seeing how many lengths I can do before coming up to breathe. Then I do it again and again.

 

[Camp Lo]

Sitting at the beach or a lake and watching the scenery.

Heavenly!

 

[Redford]

I don't know if TVtropes would fit this but it's a timesink nonetheless.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Skyrim

I love running around sightseeing and exploring

I like to walk to random places I've never been to, I always take my time and wander around when I'm at a new area (in rl, not talking about skyrim).

You are like me.

 

[Anteater]

i like to do nothing, nothing at all, really, I like the moment before I fall asleep.

You are like me.

[Chao]

Dream Theater

Why do you have to be like that?

 

[Deified Data]

Standing in the shower for a good fifteen minutes not doing anything.

This. It's where I do my best thinking.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Lying in a comfy bed. I can lie there for hours after waking or before falling asleep just daydreaming about things.

Also, showering. I take at least two a day since they're so enjoyable.

 

[Krauser Kat]

I don't know if TVtropes would fit this but it's a timesink nonetheless.

falling into the hole of TVTropes is everyones boring pastime. Also the wikipedia game is pretty great too.

drawing or painting boring still lifes

 

[thefit]

Some Sundays I like driving around listeting to A Prairie Home Companion on public radio.

 

[alcide]

I love painting. Decorating that is.

It's got so much satisfaction. Physically seeing your progress both on the walls and in the paint your constantly refilling.

Love it.

 

[mackattk]

Playing the WAR card game with a standard deck of cards by myself. One player is the left hand, the other is the right. I have no idea why I enjoy this every now and then.

Finding and deleting old/unused files on the computer.

Reminescing about old times . Life was so much simpler 10 years ago.

Staring at designs in tile/ceiling and seeing faces and different shapes I can imagine.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Sorting and listing movies.

 

[John Rabbit]

tetris.

i don't want to know the kind of people who think tetris is boring.

 

[clearacell]

Running for very long distances.

Sitting on my porch watching the trees sway

Having arguments in my own head.

 

[teruterubozu]

I also love reading while shitting on the can - one of the great pleasures in life.

 

[Agent Cooper]

Making lists about everything and anything.

Sitting in silence and thinking.

Watching my cats sleep.

Arguing with people in my head.

And like others said, TVTropes.

 

[acksman]

People watching, usually at Walmart or the mall.

Daydreaming.
People watching at a cafe.

Dream Theater

 

[white dynamite]

Reading books.

 

[besada]

Reading history. Reading, in general.

 

[Collete]

Day dreaming.
Smelling green tea as I steep it in my cup.
Put a song on repeat and listen to it 700+ times.
(When I was younger, I did that with a Muse song, now I'm sick of that song)

Edit: Currently, it's this song.

[NinjaBoiX]

Counting out your loose change jar into money bags. I find it therapeutic.

 

[Raptomex]

The Sims 3. I find it relaxing.

 

[mackattk]

Counting out your loose change jar into money bags. I find it therapeutic.

I miss having loose change. I use credit cards now. I would go back to using normal cash, but it feels like I am robbbing myself by not using CC's for the reward points.

 

[Wilsongt]

When it's a nice day outside, just sitting outside and watching the scenery.
Vacuuming.

 

[Koomaster]

Jim's Journal.

you might be able to save more money though. i've spent heaps less money now that i use cash for day to day things

 

[Martian]

ironing clothes

don't know why, but it's not as boring as everyone else seems to say

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Posting on GAF
Watching Star Trek
Drinking alone
Watching Cars1, Cars2, and Maters Tall Tales in succession over and over again with my son.

 

[Parallacs]

Counter-Strike with bots on easy.

Perfect Dark with as many Meat Sims as possible. With the farsight or remote guided rockets.

Also, playing Borderlands 1 by myself and doing endless Crawmerax glitch runs. I need my Pearlescents.

 

[Anteater]

i don't want to know the kind of people who think tetris is boring.

maybe he likes to play at level 1 speed

 

[The Power Of Snap]

Sorting and erasing files on my laptop.

Oh and playing simcity 4 with a good playlist of ambient/techno music.

 

[teruterubozu]

Sorting and erasing files on my laptop.

Oh god I love doing that! (just deleted some bookmarks - LOL)

 

[Triple Oceans]

Standing in the shower for a good fifteen minutes not doing anything.

Wow, this is so me. I find it pretty relaxing standing in a really hot shower.

 

[mackattk]

Thats true, but still in the back of my mind I would be saying I would save even more money if I used CC's while spending less overall. The cashback adds up to such a significant amount over the year I would be stupid not to use it.

 

[Mr. B Natural]

The actual act of writing or making music or drawing is, when you think about it, very very time consuming, monotonous and boring. But I love to do all those things.

Also, long showers...we're talking an hour if the heat holds up.

 

[Ace Harding]

Watching the hourly movements of my (very small) investment portfolio. "Hey it just went up $4!" I don't plan on touching it for years so I don't know why I do it. Just something cool about watching my balance change by the minute, however small those changes are. I also like screening for stocks of companies I'll never buy and making fake portfolios in Google finance.

I like cleaning the kitchen. It's pretty small, so its manageable and not intimidating. I just put on some headphones and go to work. Doesn't take very long to have a spotless kitchen with everything put away in the right place, knives sharpened (I love sharpening knives), clean microwave, etc. I hate cleaning the rest of the apartment though.

 

[Data West]

Writing.

 

[Akuun]

I like shuffling cards.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Grocery shopping. I like being inspired to try new foods while browsing the aisle - especially at Trader Joe's.

 

[tearsofash]

Meditating for four hours. That's a lot of nothing.

 

[Devil Theory]

[Sianos]

Standing in the shower for a good fifteen minutes not doing anything.

It just feels good, especially after a long workout.

 

[speculawyer]

Sleep.

 

[SillyEskimo]

My job. I do medical coding. I read a chart, then turn the diagnosis and procedures into numerical codes so they can be billed. It's mostly same ol', same ol', but I often get really interesting things across my desk (especially psych stuff). It's all very voyeuristic in it's own way and never fails to entertain me.
