First off, I thought it could be too boring to make this post and bore my readers as well. But then, what the heck, if I’m gonna spend two years of my life in boredom, I might as well bore myself ten minutes writing this post, and hopefully bore you as well.
Well, before it gets REALLY boring, let’s get going:
I discovered that a recent study in the UK has revealed that an average person could be spending more than two years of their life in sheer, painful, mercilessly boring boredom.
Experts say the typical adult will be bored nearly six hours a week feeling entirely and honestly bored with life, according to The Daily Telegraph.
So that works out to 312 hours per year of utter boredom.
Next, if one still managed to stay alive for 60 years, that would be 18720 hours of boredom per lifetime, which works out to 780 days.
And that would be Two years, One month and 19 days of non-stop, utter, unadulterated boredom.
So what was the ‘average’ person bored with?
“Having no money…” (of course) ranked the highest, followed by “dissatisfied with the humdrum of daily life”, says Scott O’Donnell of triviala.com, which commissioned the survey.
The research also revealed 55% of us are bored of having to watch the pennies and budget to get through the month.
Another 47% of people said they quickly became bored waiting in queues for people to serve them and 45% said listening to people whine about feeling ill bored them.
People also complained about getting bored with reality TV, work, their social life and eating the same food day in and day out.
Now, are you getting bored yet? Wait a minute…
Before you look for other ways to get bored, you might want to answer my own little survey, and if even that is excruciatingly boring, you might just want to see the results. Here:
Well, if you’re truly bored now, I’m sorry – it’s been my fault.
Perhaps I could make up for it. How would you like to see the 246 photos of my family vacation with my six cute grand kids?
