Top Ways To Waste Your Day Off

You wake up excited for your day off. You get so few, and today is gonna be a good one. Maybe you have grandiose intentions of being super productive, or perhaps you’ve made plans with old friends to go do fun and exciting activities. Or, this could be the one day you treat yourself to a little R&R.

Nope.

You look at the clock and it’s suddenly 7pm. How the hell did that happen?! You haven’t accomplished anything, nor are you even relaxed. You’ve wasted your day on inane activities. These are top most wasteful activities on your precious day off.

#01

Sleeping


(We’re not talking a leisurely afternoon catnap, or a powernap to prepare for an evening you won’t remember. This means you quite literally woke up, only to go back to sleep.)

#02

Chat Rooms


(Did you really spend all day talking to 23/F/CA expecting a love affair to blossom?)

#03

TV


(Lifetime? Really?)

#04

MySpace and/or Facebook


(You really shouldn’t be on your computer all day trying to find people online, when you could be out in society with your friends in person.)

#05

Just not seeing the light of day in general.

#06

Online Shopping


(Dangerous. Addicting. Don’t even start. Just go to a mall. At least you’ll leave the house that way.)

#07

Looking at old photos


(Bound to take up hours sorting through them all. More hours to cry over them. And then even more hours to get yourself out of the nostalgic funk. By this time, it’s time to go back to bed.)

#08

Writing poetry that will never be heard.

#09

Writing songs that will never be sung.

#10

Whittling


(But you don’t know how to whittle, so you just end up with a naked stick, wood shavings in your carpet, and three bloody fingers.)

#11

Taking your time to get ready


(You think, "Oh well it’s my day off I’ll take my time." This inevitably leads to major distractions, so by the time you’re all dolled off to run errands, you have lost your vigor and decide to watch TV instead.)

Brushing your dog's hair/Trimming your dog's mustache
