Top 10 Dumbest Things to Do When You're Bored

You've hit that point again. Nothing to do, nowhere to be, and a brain so under-stimulated it's practically begging for mischief.

In your quest for entertainment, you've considered everything from reorganizing your sock drawer to teaching your goldfish calculus. But then, in a moment of sheer boredom-fueled brilliance (also known as nonsense), you stumble into doing something so questionable that your own reflection silently judges you.

Welcome to the land of bad ideas. Population: you.

The Top Ten
  1. Jump out a window and say, I believe I could fly

    I did that when I was twelve. My mom, dad, sister, and brother were gone. They left me here because I am old enough to stay home by myself. Anyway, I broke my computer and then got extremely bored. I just jumped out the window.

    I screamed until I passed out. Then, when my family came back, they rushed me to the hospital. My left leg and left arm were broken. I was so stupid back then.

    This is really dumb, but dangerous too. It depends on the distance between the window and the floor. If you live in a house, it would hurt a bit, nothing else. I wonder what happens if it's a huge tower.

  2. Read this list

    Yep. The only reason I'm reading this is because I got nothing better to do.

    These people are geniuses! The reason I'm reading this is because I'm bored.

    Ugh, do you not see this would have been perfect for the end?

  3. Play with kitchen knives

    I would not do that. You have so much love around you, and none of your family would want you dead. It would be sad. Your mother and father have bought you all the things you have liked, so it is not worth dying.

  4. Go to your parents with the stupidest face you can and say "I'm a little uni-corn" in the most farmer voice you can

    I've done this at least 150 times. My parents always ignore me though.

    Who says I haven't done this before?

  5. Use tablets as swords

    Yeah, why just buy those historical swords from the 1600s when you have tablets? Woo-hoo! Yeah, let's fight! My father died because my uncle pressed an iPad on his belly. Prepare to die, uncle!

    Then I killed my uncle by throwing my iPad mini 2 on his head. Yeah, tablet knives to cut meat and bread! Oh man, I chop wood not using an axe (because axes suck), but using a Samsung tablet. Yeah, man!

    I use my iPhone as scissors and my iPod for jam and butter spreading. Yeah, baby!

    Boy: JEDI IS GOING TO BE YOUR PHONY LITTLE BURRITO!

    Girl: Mom's Samsung Galaxy is not a burrito.

    Boy: Oh, whatever.

    Hiya! Hiya! Wooo - tablets fly to the TV. SLAM!

  6. Jump out of moving cars

    The best cure for boredom! Then you can make two trips: wherever your family was planning on going and a fun place called the hospital. That is if you even make it.

    It's the stupidest thing to do in the world!

  7. Join ISIS

    Done this at least 30 times. One of my favorite activities!

  8. Drive into a helicopter with a sports car

    I've done this a few times. It's kind of worth it, but sometimes the helicopter rotors get scratched.

    I recommend this sublime sport to everyone with a working car.

    Done this 12 times. Died 10/12 times. 99% guarantee to die. 10/10 definitely recommend to kids.

  9. Use a broom and then jump out a window

    This is the story of a little girl named Diamond who was bored as hell. She lived in a huge room of a tall skyscraper. She saw the broom and took it as if it were a horse.

    She jumped out of the first window she saw and fell out of the skyscraper. We all know how it ends.

    Hey! I've done this loads of times and died. But the last time I did it, I survived!

    Please, while doing this, jump out of the ground floor.

  10. Open the plane emergency exit door in flight

    I did this one time, yeah! I also jumped out of my TV and crashed a helicopter. Whoo-hoo! Oh, and I landed on a baby diaper.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Sled down the stairs

    This would be kind of fun, but it would end up being painful.

  13. ?

    Jump out the window on a carpet

    A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew!

    It's called the hospital, and that's where I'm about to go. That is, if I don't die instantly.

  14. The Contenders
  15. Cry

    I hear my parents do that all the time... and sometimes hear my name.

  16. Use a hammer to create a new version of Wrecking Ball

    Girl: Computer! I gotta tell you something. I came in like a BAM! No! My prized computer!

    I came in like a wrecking hammer!

  17. Climb a tree and try to fly

    I was at my friend's house. She was chasing me around with a stick, so I climbed into a tree and fell. I couldn't walk for a while after that, but it was so funny!

    My friend climbed a tree to the very top and could see my dad mowing the lawn on the other side of the house. Me: HI DADDY! *laughs creepily to myself* (whispers to self: I'm stalking you!)

    A better title for this list would be "Top 10 Ways to Earn a Darwin Award."

  18. Eat feces

  19. Defecate out of the window.

  20. Eat 5 peacocks then jump into your tv and break it

    This made me laugh. Has someone actually done that?

    What a wonderful idea! I'm going to try it right now!

    Very fun to do with the whole family!

  21. Set fire to your hair

    Poke a stick at a grizzly bear. Eat medicine that's out of date. Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place. Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die.

    What the actual heck? Who sits here and writes this and thinks, "Yeah, this is a good idea. I will influence young kids to set their hair on fire."

    I've already done this. Smells bad.

  22. Listen to a Justin Bieber song

    Quite the cultural experience! I now feel like a quirked-up white boy too!

    I tried it once and barely escaped alive.

    My friends dared me to do these things, so I did.

  23. Pee on your grandma

    That's a death wish right there.

    Does everyone hate their grandma?

  24. Sleep

  25. Use a lamp as a firefighter pole

    It's all fun and games until the actual firefighters show up.

    Well, keep swinging until the genie comes out.

    Boy: Let's save the world! jumps on pole NO NO NO NO NO NO! CRASH! SLAM! CRACK!

  26. Spray a full can of deodorant in your room and go to sleep

    I've done that before. It didn't turn out well.

  27. Watch Big Brother

  28. Play with your sisters toys
