Contrary to the belief that boredom is not a silent killer, a study conducted in the late 1980s in London proved that people who often get bored are 2.5 percent more likely to die from heart problems than those who rarely feel boredom. That is probably why we have managed to compile such a colorful and entertaining list of funny people trying to escape from the grips of the yawn.

It seems that being stuck in a never-ending queue, at work without having anything to do, or trying to watch a movie with a stubbornly asleep significant other, wake up the deepest and most creative parts of human imagination. You really don't have to endure being bored witless, but instead, spend your time recreating famous classical paintings with things you found at home, or you can count and separate your gummy bears by color or even make furniture for ants. The possibilities for fun things to do are limitless!

One thing is true when talking about dullness, though - only boring people get bored, and these guys and gals proved to be fruitful imaginarians when it comes to spending their spare time. Check out our funny picture list of the shenanigans these brave people did to save themselves from the increased 2.5 percent risk of future heart problems. Hopefully, you'll find some great hints on what to do when bored! Don’t forget to vote for the most creative ideas.

    I didn't know slow days in the ER existed. Hospital is always full and crazy when I go there.

    I have the urge to fix it so it looks perfect. On the other hand, jumping into it and messing it all up would be fun too

    we used to do this, but with pegs / butterfly clips.... the aim was to attach it to a coworker, without them realising it. The "winner" was the one who pegged the most, and was rewarded with drinks bought for them at the end of shift. Or.... the "loser" was the one who got pegged the most, and had to buy everyone else a round. Ah, the joys of working in retail...
