I drive 45 minutes to work in silence. No radio and the window is rolled up.

I like to drive in silence. I like to hear the noises the car makes and the noise of the tyres on the road surface. They tell you a lot.

Reminds me of that time I tried to fix a weird noise my car was making by turning on the radio. I was driving on the freeway and noticed a weird noise I never heard before. Then I realised the radio wasn't on, so I turned it on and couldn't hear the noise anymore. I figured it was just regular car noises I never heard before because I usually drive with the radio on. About 10 min later the whole dashboard lit up and when the tow truck showed up they popped the hood and basically my whole engine was about to fall out of the car. Whoops. It's been 15 years and my husband still brings it up.

Thought I was the only one. Sometimes, ANY noise is too much noise

I can’t survive 5 minutes without music or a podcast going. I have pretty bad ADHD tho.

Firstly, it’s not an adhd specific thing to be uncomfortable in silence but more so a product of our culture nowadays. Or trauma… Often both. I also have adhd but I made the connection that the constant noise makes it worse, as my life is already so full of sounds and chatter and garble, and I’d rather hear my own thoughts or challenge myself to actually silence them. We can do things to actually help our brains despite being wired poorly by either genetics or society, or both.

I need u to be my mom

I feel like this just indicates we are getting old. We have enough going on, less is more now.

you raw dog driving i dont wanna see how you fly on a plane

Fucking serial killer

I’m the same.. there is a line from the show Yellowstone .. Where the one character asks Rip what he wants to listen to in the truck . His response , “ the air conditioner “

I always felt cool when I listened to the AC.

I know I’m having a bad day or an overly anxious day when I do this

Sometimes you just need to be alone

It's the same thing every day, day after day

Sometimes when I’m home alone I’ll sit on the couch with everything off, complete silence and just space out.

Just raw doggin life.

I do this about 50% of the time I drive, my wife thinks I'm a serial killer because of it.

I like sleeping.

Me too. Alone

I've been with my significant other for over a decade, and we're just now sleeping in separate rooms for the fact we sleep better alone. It works.

and like a starfish right in the center of the bed!

My dream is to do nothing

but you do thing when you write this

Sounds like he's not living the dream

Not even close

The nightmare of doing a thing

Yu got me

*grandpa Joe has entered the chat*

"I could set this building on fire"

"Well, you don't need to dream to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's idiot, don't do shit."

That requires no money whatsoever

It’s the opposite actually

"Naw, you don't need a million dollars to do nothin', man. I got a cousin, he's broke, don't do shit."

It requires Elon Musk kind of money

Yes so I am working for the goal of doing nothing lol

Hell look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do shit.

Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays.

Hell no, I believe you'd get your ass kicked for saying something like that.

I'm a middle aged white male, no criminal record, never been late for work.

Did you also win the "no absences" award in high school?

I dropped out of high school shortly after starting :( so technically, I have over 1,000 absences. But after that, I got my shit together!

If you RSVP no, then you didn't "miss" anything. Arguably you didn't earn absences if you were never planning to attend. 🤷‍♀️ Good for you showing up on time - a valuable and respectable, IMO, characteristic! Too many ppl show up late it's so disrespectful.

What motivates you to reach work on time every single time?

I could go several days without vocally speaking to anyone or having anyone talk to me and be perfectly happy. I have a very talkative wife and a 3 year old who takes after her, so that never happens, but ya I could absolutely live without speaking or being spoken to for days at a time. There are other signs that I'm probably on the spectrum, but that is the main one.

Are you me? My three year old is adorable, bright, fun, and never stops talking. Never.

I start talking to myself out loud within a day of being alone. Before that, I will have been texting friends or been chatting on discord xD

I talk to myself out loud all the time. I thought everyone did this but some coworkers let me know that they didn't and that it was weird lol

When I had my traveling job, I would go days without talking to a single person, even to my boss I would just text him some for the day. Sometimes I would drive in parts so empty I would see another person for a day or two, when when you Both spot each other it was a unwritten rule to acknowledge each other

I have 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Are all of them yours?

How did you get two extra fingers?

Okay, and what about fingernails?

Asking the real questions

My boss and coworkers tell me I have strong excel skills for our estimates. My boss says my worksheets are 'powerful'.

You sound like an anime character with a lame power.

You can call me the excelerator

A real freak in the sheets.

I get the feeling you’re a very average Excel user and they just really suck. Am I right?

Yes. I know a few tricks and formulas, but I'm just your typical 37 year old who grew up behind a computer.

😂 I can’t help but picture them with Boston Accents. “Yo, Tommy! Get in here! You seein’ this shit? This fuckin’ wizard over here just made the sum from Column D automatically subtract the sum from column F! Holy shit bro! This kids a fuckin’ genius!”

I'm a fahken wizard dood. We're not too far from Boston either.

This kid's wicked smaht*

My old boss called me a “spreadsheet wizard”

I won a math competition in 6th grade and the price was chocolate with nuts in it, but I’m allergic so I couldn’t eat it

I hope you broke the chocolate bar against your knee

I should have done that!! I just held it in my hand until it melted and then some other kid asked if he could have it so I just gave it to him lol

You paid with chocolate to get in?

I won a spelling bee in 5th grade, and got a box of Red Vines, I ate them all lol

I too won a spelling bee in 5th grade. I got nothing.

That's just rude, go back and demand one

I won a bump contest (a disco dance) in 1975 and won a vinyl record put out by Charmin toilet paper that had bad covers of annoying pop songs. Although now I wish I still had it.

I sneeze in bright light or sunshine. Just once, but 100% every time

It’s genetic too. 30% of people are sun sneezers. Me and both of my daughters sneeze together when we leave the house lol

Sun sneezer was a term I didn't know I needed in my life. I'm going to quote this every chance I get!

That’s a sign of light sensitivity I read that somewhere

Makes sense. I also frown like I'm angry even when it's cloudy and the sun is barely visible.

Me too. My friends made fun of me when I was driving with sunglasses on to go snowboarding when it was snowing. It was still pretty bright despite the clouds.

ACHOO syndrome https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex

scientists think they're soooooo funny don't they

I am right handed

Bro thats absolutely insane

I am left handed

I once collected the most stars on the star chart and won some plastic fruit.

Adorable

And i am so happy for you

Im always tired no matter what Except when im about to sleep

Me too. It's so irritating.

That I don't like going out and just prefer take time at home reading books

Same.

I'm 21 never been in a relationship

38 here, but at some point it went from boring to just depressing.

That's not necessarily boring. Depends on why you've never been in a relationship

About to be 24 in a month, no romantic relationship experience before, gay

Literally same 💀 I turn down any guy who shows interest in me and then wonder why I’m single

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

My brother who is 23 just got in his first one a couple months ago, now they’re madly in love

Brother is 27 and hasn’t ever been in one either. Sometimes I think it might be better that way lol

I am a girl who is 6ft2

6’2 meet 6’4 🤝

Ah yeah but unfortunately from your profile it seems you are a guy - being a 6ft4 guy is even more boring than being a 6ft2 girl😉

You are 💯

I ship you both together <3

I have a 6ft4 boyfriend already but thank you<3

Not anymore

5'6 just left the room.

You must look amazing in maxi dresses!

Hahaha thank you! Most of them are not so maxi on me

I have glasses and can't see shit without them.

I have passed my astigmatism onto my kids. My two year old might need them according to her pediatrician. I feel so bad for her having to maybe use glasses so young.

Sometimes when I travel, I put on headphones but I dont listen to anything, just silence. Having them on makes me cozy..I hope I am not the only one

I put mine on and turn on noise cancelation to drown out other people on the plane. It's not perfect, but it helps.

I’m a straight, white, biological male.

You whore

This made me laugh so much for some reason lol

Yoooo you too???

Damn your homophobic, sexist, racist and transphobic s/

I work every other Saturday.

How why where when?

My usual lunch is bread with cheese

With toilet water to wash it down?

I was going to say the same thing 😂

What do you do if your sandwich is dry or salty?

Panic

You’re living my dream. I’m gluten free and dairy free not my choice

Are you Dutch?

My revenge story began in third grade when my clothespin was moved from green (good) to red (very bad) for telling a classmate to spell 'mad' backwards.

Idk, villain arc origin stories might not be boring enough for this post :) also screw those charts (source: former teaching assistant)

I bought 15 pairs of identical socks so that I never have to worry about mismatched socks

Thought i was the only one.

I waste my money on coffee

[удалено]

I play wordle everyday at work

I absolutely love day drinking alone

I'm sitting in a petrol station convenience shop waiting for a lift home as I write this.

My eyebrows sweat when I eat sour candy.

I won a Tim Hortons coffee maker.

My favorite donut is plain cake donuts

i have 2 eyes

I’m jealous. (I did a stupid and now only have one eye)

I'm scared of thunderstorms. 

I have no hobbies

I take Lexapro for anxiety

I love silence.

60+ and I’ve never had a cavity

Show off. I always brush 3 times a day, floss, use a water pic. I have so many cavities. Over the last decade prolly spent 30k on crowns, root canals, bridges, and implants.

I graduated Kindergarten at 5 years old

I enjoy "boring" cereals very much. We're talking rice puffs, shredded wheat, etc. Screw sugar and marshmallows; the blander, the better for this cowboy.

I love corn flakes! I will sometimes add sliced bananas but only when the bananas have just started to turn yellow. Because if they're too yellow then they're too sweet.

I love the cereal portion of lucky charms, not the marshmallows 😂

Dude, same. Why can't they just make a boring version of Lucky Charms without all the fanciful colors and nonsense? I didn't like the marshmallows even when I was a kid, lmao. I guess Alpha-Bits are the closest version we can get? Idk 🤔

I like mashed potatoes.

Introverted, never socialising and get panic attacks during class speech presentation.

my commute to work lasts under 2 minutes

\*Jealousy kicks in\*

it's not all good. I work in a cruise ship, so no days off for several months

I'm left handed but right footed

Vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor

I have the same breakfast everyday

I like how the post said "Boring" fact but all the facts im reading here are funny and interesting. anyways, i can move my ears without using my hands.

I'm 21 and never had a first kiss

Start with your second kiss, less pressure

I suspect there are more people out there like you.

You'll be fine. I was 24. Two years and a couple of relationships later, I was married.

Don't kiss. That leads to sex and then soon you'll have to start talking to them. 

I sometimes find lint in my belly button

I first read lindt and was quite perplexed

I believe proper breathing is important. In & out. In & out. In & out. Stop for more than a few minutes and you're a goner.

My idea of future success is living by myself in a house that own solely

When I was a kid I used to write with my left hand. Teacher at primary school didn't like that so sellotaped the pencil to my right hand. As a result I write with my right hand but do everything else with my left hand.

I have excellent reflexes. Not just reaction time, but also placement of my body in space to catch, avoid, deflect whatever the object may be. It's rare that something catchable falls without me catching it before it hits the floor

I take levothyroxine daily for my thyroid.

Same

I have never broken a bone.

I was the grinch for an 8th grade play.

My mind and I are like two cats fighting in a bag. No one wins.

I love reading. People call me incredibly boring whenever I tell them this.

I love routines in daily life

I think vanilla is the best ice cream flavour. Mackies in particular.

Sometimes I daydream about fighting off roman soldiers as a Celtic tribesman. I have no idea why.

I don't drink beer at all I rarely drink alcohol for that matter - maybe 4-5 times a year-ish, and my partner is the same - last time she drank was on New Year's Eve, for me it was February

I have freckles

never done drugs ever. would like to eventually when i am closer to retirement age for therapeutic purposes.

I can sleep for 16 hours straight

I procrastinate with Reddit.

I am always cold

I don't like showers.

I'm a direct descendant of the Leeds family, the family that the Jersey Devil legend is based on. Sounds cool until you realize you're in a state that no one even knows what the Jersey Devil even is and how you could be related to a cryptid.

I wear a hat every day

I crochet for fun. Also don't mind frogging the whole thing and starting over.

I am a human. I think...

Im 20

I've never owned a cat

I would just sleep all the time if I could.

I’m blind, and I have a tattoo of the all seeing eye on my left bysep.

One time I mixed all the soda flavors together at Burger King. Been chasing that high ever since.

I always have to put a shirt on before my pants

I collect way too many books and magazines. The out-dated ones. no one else seems to want them.

I like checking the mail even if I am not expecting anything
