Bida

Bida is what happens when you mix equal parts boredom and creativity, then shake vigorously. It is a game typically played by college students and office workers during long, monotonous hours of sitting with nothing to do.

The game of Bida involves taking any object (pencil, stapler, water bottle, etc.) and attempting to land it in a small target, such as a trash can or coffee mug. The point system varies from workplace to workplace, but it usually involves a combination of distance and difficulty of the shot.

Bida is not only a game, but it is also a way of life. Those who excel at Bida are often referred to as “Bida Kings” or “Queens” and are admired by their peers for their ability to turn boredom into entertainment. However, Bida is not without its dangers. Accidentally hitting a co-worker or knocking over a mug of hot coffee can result in being exiled from the game or even being fired from the job.

It is believed that the game of Bida originated in the late 20th century when workers at a printing press found themselves in desperate need of entertainment during long shifts of monotonous labor. Thus, Bida was born out of necessity, and it has been thriving ever since.

Some may argue that Bida is a waste of time and lacks any real importance, but those who play know that it is the small moments of joy during the workday that make it all worthwhile. So the next time you find yourself staring at a blank screen or twiddling your thumbs, remember, all it takes is a little Bida to brighten up the day.
