Pointless things you do on the Internet

[supernintendochalmers]

I go on TV Tropes after finishing a film or TV show.

I am always on rightmove, irrespective of whether I’m happy where I am living. I just love seeing which houses are overpriced, which houses are still on the market - some have been on the market for 5 years running - love getting ideas for my own home and those decorating schemes to avoid.

Haha - my partner loves doing this! He has alerts set up for various locations and budgets. In fairness he does want to move to one of these places once day...for now he is completely day dreaming!

 

[Tilly3]

I have a habit of looking on rightmove and having a nosey at neighbours houses-our neighbours moved about a year ago and I was on the nosing round their kitchen and telling my fella that I hated their bath

i then got stuck in on others houses-I’ve never spoken to them but I know what their bedrooms look like

i need a life…

I’ve just posted that and deleted it when I saw yours, I do exactly the same, Aldo look at rich/ famous peoples gaffs!!

 

[Pot2PeeIn]

Search for a ps5, or poxy figures that my children want for Christmas- when I know full well grown men have purchased all the toys to wank over them in their boxes as collectors

At the minute, planning holidays and travel

Fix My Street

 

[StephenTJackson]

I scroll through auction catalogues on The Saleroom/i-Bidder. Sometimes pretending in my head I'm a Del-Boy wheeler dealer, sometimes art collector, sometimes wine collector, sometimes just random shit like memorabilia etc as if I'm like one of those people with sheds of stuff on that TV show American Pickers.

Watch endless anti-MLM video on YouTube

read reviews on trust pilot and enjoy bad ones

look how far it would be to travel to random places in UK on google maps

Look up too see if celebrities are still alive etc when watching them on something

enjoy watching online arguments on social media pages.

wow just realised how bleak I sound. I’m a happy positive person honest

Omg totally forgot about the McDonald’s game!

Farmville 2

Never played that, I was on Farmville for a while but I moved to FrontierVille / Pioneer Trail.

Now this boring as fuck but I monitor and update my google maps timeline, now there is a
good reason for this, being a motorcycle courier it's useful information to me. I have a record
of where I've been, how I got there, learning alternative routes and many other information
relating to my job. I can also work out how many miles I do in a week and if I get a fine I can
at least use the information to verify my whereabouts for any given day.

This sounds interesting, will take a ponder at that. If you like that, you might like the online game “geoguessr”



I am FAR too snobby for someone who has hardly any money when it comes to Right Move, looking down my nose at million pound houses because I don’t think the garden is big enough for my liking or it doesn’t “even” have an indoor pool

i do that too ! especially critiquing the current owners decorating tastes

 

[LucilleBluth]

I love going on flight radar and the marine travel and nosing on the goings on around me

Ooh, what is this marine version you speak of? Is it like a FlightRadar for ships? There goes my evening

 

[SoulDestroyer]

I have loads, I'm a terrible procrastinator.

Looking at RightMove for homes I can't afford.
Looking at holiday cottage companies for holiday cottages I will never be able to afford - unique homestays is lovely!
YouTube for clips of old TV shows
Google StreetView because I'm nosy
Jigsaw puzzles when I'm bored and can't be bothered to do anything else
Browsing my local library's ebooks
Etsy can be a rabbit hole, as can Pinterest
Reading bad reviews on TripAdvisor/Goodreads/Trustpilot

 

[gliblyglobbo]

I read negative reviews for books I'll never read and don't care about on Goodreads
