What little mind games do you play to pass the time?
65 replies, posted
i often find myself in public with nothing to do for 20+ minutes at a time, and i like to use that time to play silly little games in my head. for example, i like to observe people and what they do and imagine they are high as fuck or tripping balls. for some reason imagining them having no clue what the fuck is going on is hilarious. other things like looking at someone and coming up with some ridiculous backstory for their life and trying not to laugh is amusing for a few moments too. what do you guys do when you're bored in public?
I try to get complete eye contact with someone and then proceed to stare at them until they go away.
Creepy.
I look up at high buildings as if I've seen something, then stand back and see how long it takes before people stop looking up to see what everyone's looking at.
It doesn't always work, but sometimes it just keeps going.
Count the holes in the ceiling tiles.
In cars I used to imagine a video side scroller game and make my character jump on fences and stuff. Now I just contemplate life's mysteries and other bizarre stuff because I grew up to be a complete nutjob.
I used to imagine some little ninja dodging at the street while in a car or a bus when I was younger.
But actually I tend to imagine/visualize real life stuff in virtual 3D wireframe, fucking crazy.

haha, I bet you used to move your head as the character moves/jumps.

Every time.
I dive into my thoughts and fantasize about how I am some kind of epic hero, fighting against demons n shit.
I play the "Don't Look At The Clock" game. If I look at the clock I lose.

live out all kinds of heroic fantasies and shit
If im in a car I blink whenever the edge of the window lines up with a tree kinda hard to explain
Whenever I grab a small object (smaller then a pen) and I move it around my fingers, I can go into a daydream state for hours.
Really, it's handy for writing my stories.
I stare at women's breasts and/or ass.
Well, usually I sing or beatbox, but stuff I do in my head, usually I imagine giant robots smashing stuff all around me like robots busting through walls and fucking shit up. I don't know why.

Saw the thread title, and I said to myself, I'm going to post "games we play."
:c
Not really a mind game, but when I'm idling, I stare into at nothing in particular at tap my fingers to my thumb sequentially (pointer to thumb, middle to thumb, ring to thumb etc) and just "feel" the rhythm of it, as a sort of calming thing.
Imagine that the world suddenly gets apocalypse'd and set up an immediate plan of action. Oh, I also have [i]~`magical`~[/i] powers in these daydreams.
I forcefully frown at people as they walk by and never break eye contact.
If I break eye contact, I'm demonstrating I'm not dominant.
I must be the alpha.

count the amount of ceiling tiles by the width and the length to get the total number.
when on a bus in my head i try to get the lyrics of songs in tune with random patterns.
stare at people, see there reaction. One time I saw this girl walking beside my bus and I frowned at her, but couldn't hold it and started smiling, she smiled back so it was worth it.
applaud people walking by if they look particularly cunty.
Sometimes try to put people on my bus into the lyrics of songs.
i get very bored.
The "Picture him naked game" you got to look at somebody and the title is self explanitory
Lets remember every dumb thing you ever done and go into great detail on how bad at socializing you are.
Oh and dumb daydreams i guess.
Ceiling tile game I made up to pass the time. It's basically corners eliminating sides.

You start with 2 tiles, that's 6 corners (2 are being shared). Vents, lights, etc are obstacles which sometimes makes it an interesting puzzle. Those lines cannot cross path too. The new tile you gain you can only place it near your area
I like to feel surfaces with my feet. Or spin a lot.
I come up with short stories based on my dreams. I managed to get a reasonably coherent plot going.
If I see a digital clock, I'll use the numbers to make another number visible elsewhere.
I explain things I know perfectly well about to myself, so intently I have trouble focusing to what's ahead of my eyes.
I think of potential situations I might find myself in one day and figure out the best ways to react
I smile at a pretty girl. She usually smiles back cause girls generally like me even though I'm a PC geek and not popular... because if I was popular I'd be stupid like every other popular kid. At least I'm private schooled! :) I also imagine weird things. Like how much I want a Dutch girlfriend, sometimes I just pray.
I play the "I think'll recall what's currently and what's about to be bad in my life" game.
