No I haven't got a bubble on the brain but was just stood brushing my teeth before bed and it dawned on me of the mundane things we all do that all add to a huge amount of time. I’ve been on this planet 48 years and let’s assume I’ve been brushing my teeth daily since I was 10. Simple maths works out that I’ve spent 53 days brushing my bloody teeth which is 0.40% of my life since the age of 10. Christ on a bike, if someone told me years ago I’d spend 53 days brushing my teeth I don’t think I’d have bothered. If only I’d have spent a minute less each time I’d have got back 17 days!
Anyway sorry for the weird post just thought it was crazy how we’re only on this Planet X amount of years but commit so much time doing utter rubbish.

Haha excellent stat! Sooo many things we do in life that are ridiculous, I fly for a living and we have a 3 monthly currency of actual instrument flying in clouds, I realised the other day I’ve spent 5 days of my life purposely flying in cloud to practice doing it, just in case I need to do it......
I hate to think how much of my life went on looking at TV adverts. I want the time back lol
There, fixed that for you.Originally Posted by xellos99
My immediate thought as well. Not sure what that says about us. Time I've spent doing things, Dynamic positioning - 12/day x 190 days/yr x 22yrs = 50160 hrs / 2090 day!! Still it pays the bills. I'd hate think of time wasted queuing at security in airports waiting for numpties to throw their bottles away / empty electronics etc. Waiting at understaffed bars to be served, toast to be ready, sitting in the car at the petrol station for the person ahead to sort their life out before moving off
What about flossing though?
Not to mention sleeping. OMG - who thought that one up! If we lived on a planet with two suns....
Shaving is another waste of time, but yes sitting on the toilet is up there.
You can do the same calculations with money. A newspaper or a coffee probably equate to a brand new Rolex if enough years are included.
Best not to think about it.
Most people who say they haven't got time to floss, still find the time for the occasional Arthur J Rank

Think of the time to be saved if you flossed and w****d at the same time. Flanking no less!
F.T.F.A.
Yes - but think of how much pain and expense that might have saved you in the dentist's chair...
Apologies, but my Dad was a dentist, I had this drummed into me and at 45 years old I've escaped with only one minor filling.
Best diet i ever had when i got bacterial dysentry in Goa. 2 and a half stone in a week!
When i went back to work i had to sit in the office nearest the toilet as there were still the odd incident....
Always poo at work. Never poo on your own time.
I always thought that when you die you should get given your life stats that'll answer all of this!
No wonder I could never find an empty trap...
I don't know anything about flying but as a passenger in the back I'm rather glad you do 'practice flying in clouds'!
I wouldn't like to estimate the amount of time the average man pulls one.
Has house arrest just hit you?
Yes 🤣
Agree. My wife's a dentist and it will cost you a lot more in days at the dentist and not to mention the £££££. 50+ days well spent id say
I'm the same age as you and have brushed my teeth at least twice, sometimes thrice, over the same period. So I'm looking at maybe 110 days, more than three months! I see it as a great investment of my time.
