I think the case here is "bored".

I believe that the word "boredom" first entered our vocabulary in the mid 1800s - quite recently, culture versus evolution wise. Apparently, before that, people generally found things to do with themselves. Now, we don't have time for anyone who doesn't entertain us!
:-) Well put, Peter.
