Pointlessly challenging yourself

Anybody ever do stupid challenges just to see if you can do it?
Things I do are things like if there's a minute left on the microwave i try to hold my breath until it's done.
Or try and get all the shopping out the boot in one go, end up with about half a dozen carrier bags in one hand and bog rolls wedged in the armpit and pulling the boot shut trying not to drop another couple of bags in my other hand.
Absolutely no need to do it but I just like to have a go now and then.

Wouldn't dare try and challenge myself properly like trying to make something of my life or be a better person
The one in bold all the time. Another one is freewheeling in the car on certain bits of road to see how far you can get, gets a bit edgy when you've got cars behind you but you're on for a new record.

Wtf :lol:

When I fill my glass with water at work I often think about throwing the glass at the spenky crew .... and I often think what would happen if I threw a punch at managers who talk at me and I just drift off into mad thoughts.

That’s it though.

Does anyone else when they’re walking down the street and they walk past a back lane think “What would I do if a missile came flying out of that back lane?”

Yeah I bamboozle our kids all of the time. When we take the dog for a walk I tell them that the Vietcong always get the man at the back of a marching column ... kids nowadays don’t have much of an imagination.

Sort of similar, but I look at alleys or alcoves/recesses as hiding places as if I was in some escape & evasion exercise. These thoughts started after reading bravo two zero and the one that got away
 
Just remembered another one i do.

When I've got time, i try to put the dishes away silently. Or with as little noise as possible.
It means putting cups and plates down extremly slowly on the shelf of the cupboard, forks, spoons and knives go in the drawer individually and slowly.
Started years ago when the bairns room was above the kitchen and I'd try and do it without disturbing a 6 month old. Now i just do it anyway for the crack unless I'm in a hurry

I point out good places to sleep for homeless people to the kids, or where to shelter from a nuclear attack.
Bet the kids don't even appreciate your observations.
I think once you'r an adult and you know there's a chance you could end up homeless you instinctively look for places to kip

ouch! Some of my mates would wear trainers on a night out and then jog 10 miles or so back from derby.

The last time I walked was 3 miles last October. It was quite a mild night but I woke with a minging sore throat that didn’t budge for 3 weeks so heck knows what happened on the way home.

Ha! I run home after a night out fairly regularly, especially if its been a snooker night so I can dress in sports gear. Beer is just liquid carbloading. I don't think I've ever done 10 miles like but done 5 on more than 1 occasion.
