Not exactly you are bored at home but then when you are waiting for something it could be significant or an appointment. Like you are waiting in the middle of the long line what are you doing? Are you just having patience of waiting too long and hoping that it is already your turn? Are you playing with the games of your cellphone? Are you talking to someone else? Are you writing something? Or you are having the day dreaming In my case it depends on my mood. Sometimes I tend to listen to the music but while ago while I am waiting for my turn when applying a job I am writing down already a topic that I could post here on mylot. Surprisingly I have created 10 topics. Maybe tomorrow while I am applying a work again and waiting for my turn then probably I am writing down about mylot.

Well in such a situation my mobile is my best pal. I simply go through my face-book id or do a little bit of surfing. But when blessed with bad luck; that is to say, when I don't have my mobile with me then daydreaming is my only option left. These bizarre are the ones responsible for turning me into a complete daydreamer.

If in the place where I am waiting there is an available newspaper or magazine, I grab it. However, most of the time I just observe my surroundings. Being observant makes me learn a lot of some simple things in life too. I also resort to deep thinking and realizations during those times.

Just same here if I want to read something then I would really grab the magazine or newspaper to read.

hi dear friend, now i hardly stand in lines for job or paying bills or to wait for anything. actually now i am having a baby and i am doing a twenty four hour strict baby sitting job. she has just started for her school so now i have to wait for that two hours outside and that is the only time that i think i am alone without her and i am waiting for something or anything or more perfectly or correctly, for her. at that time , i usually call at my place and talk to my dad. i love him and i love to talk to him. i equally love my mom also but at that time she is more , a bit more busy as compared to dad, so i talk to him in the morning time. if not him then i sit on mylot. i hardly go to facebook because i dont have friends to talk to. it is a god social networking site but i have not made much of friends there. so for me , in my free time or boredom, i talk to my parents , thats the only option i have to call and if not that, then mylot. this s perfect thing for me. i love sitting and writing here. i like mylot more than facebook.

I always avoid a queque.... perhaps i shall do my job by next door as i lose my patience while standing. Otherwise, no problem. My cell phone is my best partner to enjoy the moments as i can access mylot through my cell phone. Have a great day.

When I am bored I like to search the Internet on my laptop. I like to find an interesting book and read it. I enjoy taking my two dogs out for a walk in the countryside or by the sea. If I bored on the road traveling I get out my notebook and pen. Then I start writing a list or a story to pass the time. I like to day dream about tropical destinations and delightful little islands. It is lovely that you have createdb ten topics to stop yourself from being bored.

Searching the net will really keep you busy as well and you won't never get bored with it.

i always carry my earphone with me. i just listen to the music and think. think whatever i want to. i get easily irritated and impatient when someone lets me wait. hehehehe.. first thing i hate the most in this world is waiting. sometimes i write or if i have my laptop with me, i just go online and browse. sometimes i read newspaper if i can grab one. sometimes i just sit, eat and watch peopl/things move in front of me. sometimes, i leave. hahahaha..

Well waiting is really part of life that is why we can't really do about it but just to face it. That is why we are now doing ways in order for us to resolve this kind of challenge on what to do while we are waiting.

everybody would hate it, waiting on line while it is not your turn yet. I don't know what I would do though. I would improvise then. If I can, I would read a magazine, or if my cell phone has internet connection, I would definitely read some articles on other websites. What else I can do about it?

Hi - these days, it is quite easy to distract myself by playing with my smartphone, or plug into my ipod for music. When I do expect for some waiting to take place, i always have a magazine or a book to pass the time. There are occasions when I relish watching the crowds go by on a busy street.

Well, first I can say that it's good that I bought a phone that is very useful for me. It has windows mobile and I am a writer, I can write my thoughts wherever I am and I have also eBooks in my phone that I can read. Waiting can be boring specially if you are waiting for hours. It is good that you have something to do while waiting. Aside from my phone, I have a book in my bag and an Ipad to listen to music to.

It depends. But i always playing games or reading novels in my cellphone or some other functions. Sometimes i do talk to people i don't know. But if it is a really important appointment or something, i think i would prepare it while i am waiting.

I remember the time when we were waiting at the airport during the departure going to Singapore. I was playing the Playstation 2 that I borrowed it from my cousin. I enjoyed playing the Tekken 3.

Whenever I am bored or waiting for something like a friend or an appointment, I always bring a book with me so that while waiting, I have something to read to make use of my time. Just in case I forgot to bring a book, my cellphone comes in handy because I usually store my favorite playlist. It lifts up the boredom whenever my favorite playlist is playing. Great discussion, Metra. Made me smile.

I usually just do things that I like doing. I try reading, watching a movie, or do things like that. I just try to do several things that I like doing. It's what I try to do when I'm bored.

I always take a book when I have to go to a place where I think I´ll have to wait. Sometimes I daydream too, in spite of having the book open in front of me.
• Pasay, Philippines

It is really fun to daydream as well because at times it makes you stronger and much have motivation for yourself. There is nothing wrong about it if you want to daydream if you are not reading a book.

Usually i use to talk more and more with my friends, if they are not with me then i won't talk with anyone means with unknown persons. I won't mind to keep silent on that moment and if possible i listen to music but when i will come out of that silent then i will talk more for sure.

There are really times that it is fun to be silent especially if you are reminiscing on something.
