We’re heading into week three or four of quarantine, depending on how soon you took social distancing seriously. Even people in the most comfortable circumstances are struggling with the reality of having nothing to do outside of their own homes for the foreseeable future. Folks are going stir-crazy. We’re bored in the house and we’re in the house bored.
Even Jimmy Fallon seems to be bored, wherever he is. In a mansion somewhere crooning “Imagine.” But on Twitter, he’s soliciting stories from the boredom frontlines, asking people to share the funny stuff they’ve been up to with the hashtag #ImSoBoredI… and then fill in the blank.
It’s time for Tonight Show: At Home Edition Hashtags! Tell us a funny thing you’ve done to pass the time in quarantine, and tag it with #ImSoBoredI. Could be on the show!

Despite the fact that it feels like there’s nothing to do, there’s seems to be a wide variety of ways to feel and be bored out there. People have gotten very creative with their boredom. In fact, these answers have given me some new ideas about how to be bored. The human spirit will not be conquered! We will always find a weird and stupid thing to do even in the most trying circumstances. It’s beautiful.

#imsoboredi figured out that “Are you as bored as I am” still makes sense when read backwards. That bored.

#imsoboredi hid a walkie talkie in the bushes in front of my house so I could scream at people when they go by and watch their reactions on my doorbell camera. No more tv needed.

The funny thing I’ve done during this time is make a new activity for my kids- Indoor Cycling!! Place training wheels inside shoes large enough to prop up the back tire and pedal! We even have timed races! #ImSoBoredI pic.twitter.com/Mi3aEbFRDS

#ImSoBoredI …renamed all the rooms in my house so I could say that today I went to the gym, headed into the office, grabbed a quick bite at the diner, and have an appointment at the spa this afternoon. Last weekend I travelled to Patio Vallarta…

#ImsoboredI I’ve been taking the dogs on so many walks to the park they don’t even get excited anymore… pic.twitter.com/E86elHmliE

#ImSoBoredI I cooked a full three course meal, and ate it all by myself whilst pretending I was on a cooking show, I won.
