Just bought an iphone & already bored of it, i don't like any type of games & half the apps i won't use so i'm just left with a very expensive phone.

Have had 4 xbox 360's over the past year & sold them on because i usually set it all up, put on a game & within less then 5 minutes i'm bored of it & so list it up for sale. Then i'll buy another to give it another go but the same happens.

I bought an MR2 & had it for less then a month, bought another VW Golf, owned it less then 2 weeks.

When i had my motorbike, could only enjoy it for the first few minutes, after that i just wanted to go home.

Got a plasma TV that never gets turned on because i can't sit & relax.

So, anyone else like me that just gets bored of everything? Is it a condition?

ADHD? Very Happy

Jesting aside I'm the same. When I went through my car phase I was changing every two months because none of them could hold my interest long. Stereo's, tv's and computers were exactly the same until I gave up trying to find my ideal setup as a lost cause and just settled for what I had.

The only things that really do keep my attention locked are my bike and a good book.

Interesting. The thing is tho, i want to enjoy all these things. I see all these new video games coming out & it annoys me that i can't sit down long enough to play them. Laughing

For me, the waiting process is where the excitement is. When i was saving for my MR2/Golf i couldn't wait to get it, when i did, all the excitement was lost later that day.

How can you get bored of an i-phone as far as I was aware they were the best thing since sliced bread Confused

My TLR Doesn't really get that boring as its a hard bike to ride fast.
Always keeping me on my toes when I'm riding it.

And my Pit bike is equally as amusing. I cant go out on it without somebody (Usually combat cars / hot hatches) trying to race me. To which they usually fail quite miserably. Laughing



Had a PS3, had an Xbox 360, Sold them both because I think games console are shit in general.

I am not into computer games, I am not a nerd, And I dont want to end up a fat, sad, lonely old man. Laughing

A relative of mine has, for as long as I can remember, started a lot of conversations with "When I get my...". He's old beyond his time now, depressed, broke and an alcoholic. He's always thought that getting bigger, shinier toys would bring contentment.

Sad, really.

I've always liked a change of scenery but I usually hang on to things a little longer than 5 minutes Laughing

Bikes usually about 6 months, cars some times less than that.

Never bothered with pishy consoles, games do nout for me.

Try different things rather than going back to the same old stuff all the time Wink you might find something that 'sparks' your interest. Thumbs Up

Most things are just shite and we don't really need them Thumbs Down

Nope. But then that's because I have hobbies, and they don't depend on gadgetry. I also think the fact that I don't waste my money on 'things' (or excessive alcohol) to make me happy, that I use that money to travel and explore and discover new things (to me) keeps me alive, and happy.

Sound like you like the advertising better than the product. Most things are shit, doesn't matter if the advert for them say they're not.

I'm exactly the same.
I spend all of my time looking for things that will entertain me, and waiting in excitement for them to arrive, then 5 mins later... bored. Like i can spend a week keeping myself entertained looking for the perfect SLR camera or something, until it arrives and i dont use it.

My bike is one of the few things i really enjoy, but like you i do get bored pretty sharpish when i go out on it, but i dont want to be bored because i like my bike if that makes sense.

I bought a force feedback wheel for the pc this week, couldnt wait, but got bored in less than a day; dont get me wrong its good, i just cant be arsed.

Tonight im buying a new car, no doubt the same will happen Evil or Very Mad

I'm exactly the same, seems to often be more entertaining chasing things than when you actually have them. I can spend hours researching products etc then buying them and then not using them as much as the time spent looking the thing up in the first place Confused

I'm extremely materialistic and getting worse by the day lately!

If its the act of spending or buying something, that seems most satisfying, its better to buy experiences, like going to the cinema or whatever, than buying clutter that doesnt get used.

Long term, its better to make yourself use the toys you have rather than pining for new ones.

You've clearly not played Left 4 Dead. It's good fun trying to frantically gun your way through hordes of zombies. Even more fun if you play it with mate and one of you accidentally sets the witch off and she mauls the f*ck out of you.

On the other hand I do what you mean with computer games, that's why I tend to buy pre-owned games, simply because I know I don't play them enough to justify spending loads of money on them.

Yup, heard it was a really good game so i forced myself to try out the demo. I didn't really like it but i can see why people do. If it was a year ago i'd probably love it.

I can think of one game i've really enjoyed & that's Dead Rising. Smile
