Brits are bored for two years of their lives
Brits spend more than TWO YEARS of their lives feeling bored, it has been revealed.A survey of over 1,000 people found that on average we spend five hours and 59 minutes of every week feeling completely and utterly bored with life. That’s 13 days a year or 786.5 days over the average adult lifetime of 60.5 years.
People said some of their main reasons for being bored are, having no money, standing in queues and waiting for internet pages to load.
Website triviala.com who commissioned the research have now produced a list of the top 50 things that bore people ... oddly answering survey questions isn't on the list.
55 percent of people said not having money bored them while 47 percent get aggravated and impatient waiting in queues.
Scott O’Donnell, of triviala.com said: “This survey is quite depressing, as it shows that most people are dissatisfied with the humdrum of daily life.
“It comes as no surprise to learn that a percentage of us are bored with work at times, and deciding what to eat on a daily basis can be tedious.
“But it’s easy to avoid the dullness of television adverts, Big Brother and reality television as there are other simpler ways to enjoy life.”
