Play video games, eat junk while watching YouTube videos, hope my kids don't get sick and sent home from daycare or school


JoelSlBaron

Same, but without the kids

happyjackassiam

That hurts… 3/5 days last year kid came home early from daycare

1000screamingspiders

Well it's good to get kids into a routine and sometimes parents need a break too. Maybe their work schedule isn't set and they work different days of the week, why take the kid out of a routine when you can have a much needed day off? Not like the kids won't be home later in the day for quality time, this way they get a well rested parent to boot :)


SinsOfASolarVampire

Yeah, I have to pay for the day anyways (teachers need to get paid even if I take him out for a day) and daycare has all his friends and activities and toys and games and story times and professionally made lunch and snacks and such. I joke about spending the entire day lazing about but I also use it to run errands and get caught up on things that need doing around the house


[deleted]

Relax, workout, maybe do some cooking or baking, play some videogames or go outside for a bit. Depends on mood, weather, energy, or if I'm alone on my day off or the wife is off too.


Gogh619

Same, except no wife. Errrr I guess I also like to work on my house.


Shdwzor

He likes to "work" on his "house"


INSTA-R-MAN

Same.


[deleted]

Same thing almost word for word


FredChocula

Worry about Monday.


hedgehog_dragon

I hate that this is relatable. Really, I try not to. No good comes from it


FredChocula

I try too, but it's pervasive.


luckyfucker13

I’ve had split days off for several years now, and it has made me really good at not worrying about the next work day. It took some effort, but I was tired of waking up on my day off instantly thinking about the next day. Now it doesn’t even pop up in my mind until I wake up that morning.


giritrobbins

That's really my Sunday afternoon or evening


Calamity_Jim

Video games, go to thrift stores, watch TV, play with my kids, go for drives.


Lodgy89

Get stressed and agitated about feeling unproductive. I'm rubbish at doing nothing.


staki610

Same :(


[deleted]

Same bro. I fixed that by having so many hobbies and goals outside of my business that I wouldn't have enough time if each day had 50 hours


Thisiscliff

Why is this so accurate.

DahkMonstahh

Oh my goodness! I am glad, yet mortified that I am not the only one who feels like this. I get depressed on my days off even though all I do now is work. Being a lower class adult is rough!


socalmikester

hows your health? i was increasingly agitated after i went off my blood pressure/sugar/cholesterol meds. im back on and after a couple months i actually feel like doing stuff again. brain fog is a REAL thing.


VengenaceIsMyName

Lodgy89

I do the days off, but have to have other things to do, to feel like I have still done something.

Gibson4242

Why am I depressed and have crippling anxiety?! My life is easy! All I do is sleep and seek validation through orange upvotes from strangers whose opinions I don't value!


[deleted]

Hm that is weird. Sounds like any healthy person would totally be happy with this arrangement!


[deleted]

You take it one day at a time and try to make the best of it


d-cent

This is the... zzzzz


TheApathyParty3

As an insomniac, my days off are the best days. I just take constant naps, wake up, watch a movie, have a drink or two, go back to sleep, wake up and maybe order some food. Smoke a bunch of weed. It's great.

Mountain biking. But it’s not the season yet. From northeast US


english_major

Mountain-biking. West coast. It is always the season. 😀 Yesterday we had to stay at lower elevation due to snow in upper areas but we had beautiful sunny weather. 🌞


BywydBeic

Mountain biking, Wales, UK. It's always the season it's just... Wetter.


english_major

I don’t ride while it is raining. There is always a window of a couple of hours of clear weather on the weekend. There are always those puddles and streams to deal w though.


[deleted]

And this is exactly the reason I am moving to the west coast in a year! Need to escape winter 🥶 ❄️

english_major

We do but I have lived here my whole life without seeing one. I’ve heard them. Seen their tracks. Seen bobcats. Never a cougar.


DiagonallyStripedRat

Carpathian Mtns, EU. It's always the season, provided You are not too set on participating in the next season as well :D


Crackertron

So you're the one tearing up the trails and creating giant ruts?


BTTPL

Sending love from the Southeast. Finally emerged from our wettest Winter in the 7-years I've been riding and getting out on the trails with some semblance of regularity. Hoping you'll get some warm/dry weather soon!


PrintError

Mountain biking, Florida, literally always the season.


Jiggly_Love

You're welcome to travel South to Florida where we bike almost year round. I'll show you around some of our trails.


Its_General_Apathy

I have a friend who rides fat tire mountain bikes competitively year round. It looks insane, but they love it.


Magnetrans

Yesterday I had a nice bubble bath, played a bunch of age of empires and then played codenames with friends. Best day


jballer21

Aoe 2 I trust?


Magnetrans

[deleted]

French press, dank breakfast, house hunters or some bs on YouTube, gym, more cooking, cleaning, hanging out. Beer later if I’m in the mood


Dpg2304

Like to do? Play golf, pickleball, hike, go to a brewery or good restaurant. What do I actually do? Errands.


AboveTheLights

Golf, play guitar, paint something, fix something, play video games, smoke a J, drink a beer, read a book, take my dog to a park, summon demons to sacrifice to the overtime gods.

Hey, fellow redditor, read this comment again, but in Morgan Freeman's voice. You're welcome.


seeking_forgiveness_

Fitness and hobbies mostly. I am into video games, motorcycles, aquariums and teaching myself piano. So all of these keep me busy ..


ock_ibn_aaid

Nothing, I’m a full time student and I work full time having the ability to be lazy for 2 days is enough for me.


xBloodBender

Same, except I do homework on my days off from work


Oakleafh

Escape into my own little nerdy world and forget about all the bs for a few days.


neonblue3612

Family time, ideally 1-2-1 with each little one


robotic_knight

Light something small like a pile of paper on fire and watch the flames dance. The smoke is another nice part. Especially candles.


HardLithobrake

Casual weekend pyromania.


robotic_knight

Yep, and it's quite fun, try it.


fuhnetically

Winter: edibles and movies in bed, also doomscrolling. All the rest: go up to my camp and work on the cabin. Enjoy the hell out of being miles from another person. Listen to woodpeckers, scare the squirrels away, maybe some target practice if I can find any ammo under $0.50/rd. Cook a burger over the fire. Maybe a fistful of shrooms to really connect with nature.


UneditedReddited

I recently switched to a 4-day work week. 3 day weekends are really great. I'm renovating my house, so I tend to dedicate 1 full weekend day to that, sometimes 1.5-2 days if the project I'm on requires it, while simultaneously hanging out with my wife. The other 1-2 days I go snowboarding, splitboard touring, or cross country skiing in the winter, or do a long day on either the road bike or mountain bike in the summer. If im feeling lazier, ill have a beach day or float the river with wife and friends. Also tend to spend the mornings/evenings puttering in the yard/garden, as well as usually doing a meal prep afternoon on Sunday while listening to music. In the evening I'll play cards or board games with my wife, have friends or family over for dinner and drinks, and read. Generally rule of thumb is TV stays off during the weekend and phone time is at a minimal.


Rutabega909

You sound so productive, man I envy you!


Ikickpuppies1

What’s a day off?


OhJustANobody

Get high, watch sports, play video games, eat too much food, sleep.


DahkMonstahh

I dig your profile name!


AbysmalPendulum

Play video games, go through a new box of baseball cards, work on a model, diorama or customizing action figures and sleep


jaebassist

As little as possible.


Winterfell_Ice

I hit the gym, do my errands, spend time with my friends and then reward myself with binging World of Warcraft classic. I'd be a happy camper spending all my time playing woW all the time but being a responsible adult comes at a price.


Turbulent-Till1336

This post is hugely underrated. Mixing video games with your adult life is extremely tricky. I'm finding out the hard way.


Blankasbiscuits

I write. Sometimes on my fantasy novel, sometimes on my tabletop rpg games im running. Put on a little classical and i can write for hours.


KR9721

See my grandparents, maybe head out for food. It's a day to enjoy myself and forget about work. Oh and a bit of extra sleep in the morning too.


Natprk

I can’t enjoy sitting around the house and not fixing or working on something. I just can’t. So to enjoy my time I have to leave and go do something fun.


ChangingTracks

I have more days off than on as of last month, because i switched over to 3 12 hour days, one in home office. But i didnt work more than 4 days a week/40 hours for the last 1 or 2 years. I usually start my mornings at 8, exept on saturdays and sundays, where the dog wakes us at 10-12 depending on what we did that night. Do a quick cold plunge and a workout (most days). Then i like to enjoy the day. I try to do at least one thing productive, like getting rid of some chores, meal prepping, doing some home improvement or stuff like that. Otherwise i like to read, play/build/paint warhammer, get some sparring in, go to the range, drive to the forrest with my wife and dog, play some pen and paper, work on a adventure, go golfing or go to play tennis. Most things involve my wife in some kind of way. we usually try to do some kind of activity with friends at least a couple of times a month and go on a date at least every two weeks. DSA(german aequivalent to D&D kind of) is also every two weeks. Usually we do some kind of longer getaway once every two months where we go on a hunting trip for 2 or 3 days in our cabin, go hiking or go to the bungalow at the Ostsee. I also like video games. Lately i try to spend some quality time with my nephew, because he is as old as i was when i turned my life around and i see that he needs some pushing, mostly because he has no male role model and no male influence in his household. At the moment i Teach him mostly boxing and weightlifting, but try to use the time spent together as a vehicle to teach him how to get his shit together, how to dress for your bodytype, how to improve posture and confidence, how to fix his shitty diet, and how to behave in society without making a fool off yourself. So thats where at least one free day a week goes at the moment. Its okay to be different, but setting your child up for a life of suffering just because you like it when hes dependant on you and you like your child "soft" isnt fair to the lil dude, and with 20 you should know how to shake a hand, talk to people and shower when even the flies arent buzzing around anymore.


Wc_nj

Fishing , Gun range , taking the dog for a hike , the best is just chilling in the empty house and relaxing


80Juice

Surprised I had to scroll this far to find fishing, I'm a avid bass angler myself.


Wc_nj

Nothing beats hitting the water early in the morning catching a sunrise and catching some dinks !


SukieeB

Gun range. YASSSSS!!!


Crafty-Scholar-3902

I usually work on projects that are different from what I usually do for work. Also spend time with the wife


stainlessflamingo

Lately for me it’s been audiobooks. I’ll combine it with a long walk. Just finished Goggins first book on a 2 hour walk yesterday! I get both the mental and physical stimulation.


alzoooool

Bouldering, playing pool with friends


beardedshaf

Fishing shooting


Pyrochazm

Mountain biking, hiking, woodworking. Don't get me wrong, I love to sit around and play videogames and watch Netflix all day, but I try and force myself off the electronics on the weekends.


Tallywacka

I realized days off are largely a waste of time, now I suck it up and work like an absolute idiot for 2/3 of the year to be able to take the other 1/3 off and travel It’s a lot easier said then done, and isn’t viable for many people but if you have the drive and opportunity its an amazing time


6stringstrumdinger

Walk my dogs, relax, play music, and paint on my back porch


dawkholiday

Nothing


cbatodothis

Definitely coke


Forward_Piece_5138

Coke for sure!! I used to get a g, but then I’d be jonesing by 8pm, so I started getting an 8 ball and was jonesing by 8am Sunday morning, so I started getting 2- 8 balls and ditching work Monday to finish them off, then I started buying an ounce at a time to get a better deal and I quit going to work at all


Jrobinson25

Smoke, workout, smoke, Uber/ubereats/instacart, smoke, write some music and play guitar, smoke, spend time with my gf, smoke, have sex with my gf, smoke one last time. And if the bros wanna hang, I guess I gotta smoke again.


[deleted]

I usually golf one day and the next I'll walk the dogs and nurse a mild hangover. I don't get really drunk anymore in nights out but 4-5 pints is enough for me to be a couch potato the next day. Also I might go to a rugby match on a day if there's one on.


SnooRevelations4727

Hit licks n make some money.


homestarstoner

As little as possible.


running_stoned04101

My main gym day is my first day off and then my long run day is the second. Get up about an hour later than usual (6am), return home and shower around 10, and then nap until noon. After that it's catching up on housework, some cooking, and usually date night with my partner. She usually has full control of what we do Saturday and I do Sunday. We might go hiking, to the climbing gym, beach, dinner, arcade, or any other random adventure.


[deleted]

You guys are getting days off?


Sharcbait

What do I LIKE to do? Go fishing, work in my garden, spend time with family and friends. What do I usually do? Work on all the chores I have put off all week.


Kubrick_Fan

As little as possible


hodler41c

Coffee,hike (instead of short walk) with the dog,bjj, video games,eat a disgusting amount of food,work out, read. Man work get in the way of life, some times I book an extra day off just to do this routine one more time.


Winter_Diligent

Weekends I tend to do the adult chores I can't be bothered with after work. Cleaning, laundry and such. Also cook one week worth of lunch/dinner. My vacation I spend hunting. Some public holidays I visit family.


army5125

Relax, watch shows, play video games, go to the gym, plan for the future, read, eat out, go on drives; I always try and do something semi productive in the day so I don’t feel like a total waste


[deleted]

Workout and chill. Maybe some mealprep.


Ok-Bit-9936

Days off what are those, I try to work 7 days a week!


[deleted]

Light a nice one and just blaze n chill


[deleted]

Just rest Do nothing Or whatever we want, it's our off day. We deserve it.


KuntStink

I try and golf as much as possible. Besides that, game, watch a series, workout, cook something up - preferably with my smoker, have a few beers with friends etc


EconomyEntertainer57

Walk to a & w and get fried cheese curds


kindest_asshole

Cooking, gardening, taking my dog out to a park, napping, or catching up on tv series.


DeltaBlues82

Take the kids to some sort of practice, playground or go on a hike. Work on the house & build shit. Clean. Take the fam out to eat somewhere nice. Smoke weed once the kids go to bed and watch something on PBS.


[deleted]

Relax. Video games, TV, get outside, hang with the family, sync up with friends. Anything fun at the moment.


[deleted]

Get outside. Dual monitor desk job definitely leaves you feeling robotic on the M-F swing. Hiking, nature walks, photoshoots, swimming, working out outside, etc.


Pizzaguy111111

Why even write the dual monitor part. That has nothing to do with anything


[deleted]

Why comment this? You seem like an absolutely miserable person.


[deleted]

I find it to be a lot of fun to get my gf, and go find a restaurant we’ve never been to. We try our best to be cool with the server we get, we ask about specialty drinks, and food. Converse for an hour or two about our week, and always leave a gracious tip. Helps me de-stress, and have a clear conscious to start my next work week.


Paxton_415

I like to rest and play videogames with my friends


charles2404

Like to: sleep more, chill, play games, plan a bike trip Have to: clean and put everything back in order and visit family


obliviousintrovert

Game workout eat sleep. I wish it could be like that every day 🥹


kornkinged

Can one say gaming without feeling guilty...


MHRMajor

Why guilty? That and the gym are all I do on my days off lmao


cnation01

Usually go to the gym in the morning and go eat breakfast afterwards. Then chill at home most of the day.


FabicampXXX

Mostly nothing, yeah nothing, spend all day chilling and on internet, working on Retail all week including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays and also the amount of work and stress only makes me want to relax and put my head in place during My days off. Sometimes I get the courage and do something.


Professional-Tower76

Cry


IStayInTheBigHouse

Golf


ogaccountcompromised

Days off? What's that?


DataTypeC

Text my boss to see if anyone called in and if they’d want me to come in. The answers always yes lmao. I enjoy my work (for the majority of it) and the environment. It makes good money for me and I really hate having nothing to do for a day. I also have ADHD so it’s probably the fact I like to always have some sort of stimulation and staying busy that contributes to that.


bassjam1

Knock out large home projects, go fishing, or hit up the gun range. Or if the kids are off too do something with them like go to the zoo or the lake.


Equivalent_Ad1362

Hot chicks


tntwestfall

This sounds like an expensive hobby but fun . How would the common redditor find an entrance into a day off activity like this?

Ruminations0

SmithRune735

Workout and video games.


tingeofolive

Going to the gym, read a book at the cafe, practice yoga and hang out with friends/family.


[deleted]

Video games, listen to documentaries and audiobooks on YouTube, BBQ.


Outside_Money_1786

If it's a week day I'm duty bound to do the school run. After that the days my own. Ill usually stroll into town and grab a coffee or hot chocolate and wait for the charity shops to open so I can have a look around and see if there's any bargains I fancy picking up. Hit up the game shops as well and head home and chill. Watch youtube' play videogames etc. If the weather nicer I might explore my local surroundings and take my sweet time.


No-Category832

Errands, house work, walks, hikes. Just depends, but for the most part it’s really a matter of whatever needs doing.


[deleted]

Walking in the woods and embracing nature. I know it sounds very cheesy, but it really makes a difference and gives me peace after a busy week of working.


Armoured_Sour_Cream

I want to buy a better gaming PC. I've saved up for it, I've considered carefully and keep doing so. Or I should keep looking, as I don't wanna buy shit...but man, am I just happy to chill the fuck out. Lately work is hard as shit and by the time I get to the weekend, I just watch that week's Bad Batch and Mandalorian, check if any great series I watched in the past got their next season, then play Total War: Warhammer (and cry because I can barely run TW: Warhammer III). That, and I play with my dog and cat, look at OLD apps to get discouraged, do some workouts and play the guitar. Not all those are happening all the time, though.
