What would you be doing as a ghost?

I had a dream last night in which I started this thread and it amused me when I woke up, so what the heck! Imagine you died today but stayed in your house as one of those boring non-interactive ghosts who just go through the same motions from the day they died for the rest of eternity (think Lady Button jumping out of the window at midnight every night in 'Ghosts'). What would you be stuck doing on repeat, based on your current daily rituals? I am currently in the depths of house-training with a new rescue dog, so the ghost of me in 100 years time would appear in the back garden on an hourly basis, wearing a huge old coat of DH's that has been deemed the Back Door Coat and saying 'Come on Daisy - wee-wees!'

This is really interesting! I've never thought about it before but if you were a ghost and you knew you were going to be around forever, so you had the whole of eternity to "do stuff" and you were able to move about then you'd go and "do stuff" elsewhere.

say you had no dependents or all your loved ones had died - so no one you were particularly interested in welfare wise - then I'd go and annoy the hell out of all the people who had wronged me or I disliked first and then work down the list towards the minor grievances!

It makes me think that if ghosts exist -which I doubt they do - that they must be stuck where they died so they can't leave. Otherwise you'd get on a plane and go travelling and see the world and annoy people who you hated.

I expect most people would be stuck on their sofa watching reality television.

I'd be decorating the house in the hope to get more money when it sells.

I’d be sitting on my bed staring into space, trying to avoid getting up and doing something!
