Top Ten Things We Waste Our Time Doing

The Top Ten
Watching TV

Many people spend months of their life watching TV when you add it all up. That's weeks' worth of commercials and stuff you don't need to watch.

I do that, but I don't watch TV like I used to. I love watching it, but even when I switch it on, I stare at the screen for a few minutes and then turn it off.

Arguing

Yet that's the beauty of debating over certain topics. Some people thrive in mature rebuttal battles, while others just can't win the argument and refuse to offer a sophisticated statement.

Arguing is usually a means of trying to get someone else to change their mind and to prove we are right. This is truly a waste of time.

Spending countless hours of your life yelling at each other because of a problem just wastes even more time.

Using the Internet

It's only a waste of time if you should be doing something else instead. For example, going to the gym or having an actual conversation with a loved one.

Use it wisely because things can take a turn when making decisions. You must be cautious of judgment day.

Playing Video Games

Well, if you play too much, then yes, it's a waste of time - especially if you ONLY play Fortnite. My annoying neighbor is SO addicted to Fortnite and keeps nagging my brother to play it. My neighbor plays so much that he keeps getting grounded. Once in February, he got grounded from it. He was unbanned in May, only to get grounded again until the SUMMER. SHREKT! But he still sneaks onto his computer and secretly plays it.

I know the type of person. They have something better to do with their time, but they spend hours trying to get through a level, and even more hours talking nonsense about it. Live, instead.

Looking at Top Ten Lists

This should be everyone! That's why you made an account or are visiting the site. You browse through a list, become fascinated, and love or loathe it.

Hmm...it's what I'm doing right now: 00:17 hrs on 20/9/13, so yes, I'm probably wasting way too much time on this.

I do it almost every day. It's really hard to break the habit.

Being Alone

Sometimes, I feel like I want to be alone and isolated - not because of suicidal thoughts, just personal preference. I'm a lone wolf in real life.

This sucks big time! You hope to never end up alone.

Not Working Toward a Career
Queuing

It's like waiting in an organized formation until it's finally over.

Okay, we're in the queue. Waiting on your... mark?

Travelling

Going from airport to airport does not seem fun if you do it on a regular basis.

Sports

I don't play sports, but I love the coverage and insights into what might happen. It is fun to do, but I understand it's not for everybody.

Clock Watching

Let's say you're at work, school, or college, and you're dying to leave. You can't help but look at the clock in the meantime.

We always have this gigantic clock during tests. It really puts pressure on me.

Damn, will that hand move already!

Homework

Why should I do my homework when I could just daydream instead?

Yes, some people do it, while others don't and find different solutions.

Talking to People Who Don't Care
Nothing
Sleeping

Ironically, this is the opposite of the last one. To be fair, everybody needs their sleep, especially as time passes. Waking up to a new day could bring either excitement or boredom, depending on the season or significance.

I had insomnia while trying to sleep because of a toothache, and I didn't get enough rest for the first day of school in 2022.

It's not a waste. It's a necessity. If you go nine nights without good sleep, you can die.

Masturbating
Being Negative

We often act negative in the most professional way possible. We don't necessarily hate anything. Just act natural, and you'll be fine.

Daydreaming

I do this so much that it starts to interfere with my real life. It's like I'm addicted to it at this point.

You dream away, but suddenly it's a nightmare. You wake up screaming, causing an awkward scene in public.

I do this so often, and when my mind comes back to reality, three hours of my life are gone.

Worrying

It depends on how worried you feel. Imagine being watched while in a state of anxiety - it can feel freaky.

Going to Jail
Staying Awake

Yes, as an insomniac, I often think that if I can't sleep, I should do something to keep occupied. The problem is that when I do this, I almost drop dead the next day.

I feel many users are under the influence of an insomniac spell, where we can't sleep. I see that a lot lately. Sometimes, it's best to take a loss. In the midst of midnight, go to bed so you can fight to stay alive.

I'll stay awake! The dark's not taking prisoners tonight!

Going to the Doctor

Well, I suppose if a helicopter crashed on top of your car, you'd need more than a doctor! I'm talking about waiting hours for a routine check-up, only to be told what you already knew - that you have a cough! Waste of bloody time!

Well, it's necessary if a helicopter crashes on top of your car. Is it really a waste of time? Nothing important involved, just your life.

You literally wait hours and hours to get in, and finally, when you're in, some visits take longer than usual.

Reading the Bible
Facebooking

A lot of people spend too much time on this. I know it's fun, but it's still wasting time.

We might as well add Twittering, Instagramming, Snapchatting, and Tumblring, right?

Waiting In Line

As you wait at the secretary's office for 4 hours just to renew your State ID, it's ridiculous. It should be quick and efficient, right?
