12 Easy Ways to Spice Up Your Weekend

Weird

It’s easy to get caught up in the rat race. Weeks turn into weekends and, before you know it, it’s back to work. You could swear that you just left the office as you’re pulling into the parking lot on Monday morning. It can be downright depressing.

The good news is there are things you can do to make your weekend more enjoyable. If nothing else, you’ll at least make a few people wonder what types of medications you should be taking. A word of warning, though: most of these items (the ones that involve other people) are best perpetrated with strangers instead of friends or family. Keep reading and you’ll understand why…


  1. Talk with a British accent. Try to call everybody “Govnah”, if possible.
  2. Wink at people every chance you get.
  3. Wear two different shoes to the mall/grocery store.
  4. Pick a random word/phrase (like “rootin’-tootin’” or “persnickety“), use it as often as you possibly can - perhaps set a quota.
  5. Every time you park your car, back into the space. Then sit in your car for 2-3 minutes blaring some obnoxious music. Bonus points for wearing wrap-around sunglasses.
  6. Go to the video store and rent a movie that you’ve never heard of. Watch it. Bonus points for a foreign film with no subtitles.
  7. Stand in your front yard and water the lawn for several hours. Loudly greet all passers-by with offers of fresh muffins (make sure you have some). Bonus points for wearing some type of sweatband.
  8. At every possibly opportunity, end your sentences with “and you can take THAT to the bank!“.
  9. Buy a gag eye patch from some Halloween store, wear it.
  10. Two words: Air Guitar.
  11. Give somebody you don’t know a (non-suggestive) compliment.
  12. Sit in the dark with an adult beverage and listen to Cassadaga by Bright Eyes - and thank me later

Yeah, I’m weird. Have a great weekend, everybody!
