What bores you the most?

Snooker

Prime minister questions.

@MrsJayy see that's exactly my point lol anyone from the city feels the need to tell everyone about it. It's not that nice and has a massive drug problem visible for any visitor.

Golf

My DH wittering on about football news first thing in the morning when I haven't had coffee and he KNOWS I don't care.

@iamadalek2 I didnt mean to set you off 😀

My H playing this game on his xbox and completely ignoring me, giving me either a one word answer or silence. He ponces about with random strangers killing things who are probably neglecting their wife and kids too.

Our vicar turning the church notices into a second sermon: he does it every week, saying things like "It's church cleaning on Tuesday, we need the church to look spick and span after all the events this week, if you can spare an hour please come along, many hands make light work, blah blah blah...". Yes, those who actually do the church cleaning have been there far longer than he has. Sometimes he sounds like a comedian desperately improvising to fill a time slot, or a contestant on Just a Minute.

Christmas. Most of it, especially as it's the same every year.

Loads of other things already mentioned here, but recently, this dialogue, which I've had with several people:
Them: Happy new year!
Me: Happy new year.
Them: Did you have good Christmas?
Me: (thinking Scrooge-like thoughts) Yes, thank you. Did you?
Them: Yes, sorry it's over, back to reality...
Me: (delighted that it's over).

Grrr. So tedious, like Christmas itself.

Other people’s dreams

My BIL. Thinks he know everything about everything.

People talking about people,....not in general terms but specifics and about individuals. If I was interested in knowing about Mrs. Smith's niece's boyfriend's genital herpes I'd ask him directly.

iamadarlek2 we're on an office diet at the moment. I can cope with eating less but all any talks about is what they ate, how hungry they are, how many lbs they've lost, how many syns is in this is boring the shite out of me.

I'm torn between going on a killing spree or bringing my leftover Christmas chocs to the office.

@MrsDoylesTeaBags 😂😂😂I get you. I used to hate all this chat in the office then someone brings out cakes and they're falling over themselves to grab them. Gone in seconds followed by "ah well that's the diet ruined........bla bla bla" ffs

@Mrsjayy it doesn't take much. I sat next to a Dundee councillor one night at a function - in dundee. He was really friendly until he realised I wasn't actually from Dundee then ignored me the rest of the night!

Aw no how rude! iamadalek2 dd went to UHI in Perth a few of her friends are from Dundee and are nothing but nice perhaps the younger generation welcomes incomers😂

@Mrsjayy lol yes just the older generation. I'll give the younger ones the benefit of the doubt 😁😁

People who talk. And talk. And talk. And talk so much that they’re stringing sentences together and blabbing and partway through you realize they’ve changed the subject on you and they barely take a breath and you can’t get a word in edgewise to tell them to please just zip it . . .

Golf, for me it's up there with people telling you about an amazing dream they just had.

My BIL. He doesn't talk he lectures. The moment he opens his mouth I switch off.

Harry and Megan - what they choose to do will not make an iota of difference to 99.99999% of most people’s lives so let them get on with it and stop having endless analyses and discussions about it ffs

Woke people. God, I hate moronic expressions like that.

'My BIL. He doesn't talk he lectures'

Jesus, this is my dad too. Asks you a question just so he can pontificate about the answer. Unbelievably boring, rude and self absorbed

The 10 year challenge FB posts. People fishing for compliments. It started appearing on LinkedIn too. Self-promoting Fanny's!

Photos of people’s children and photos of their holidays.
Reality shows, there are too many and they’ve had their day now.
Sport.
Long bus/train journeys.
People wittering on (my mum) about all their supermarket deals that they got.
Sunday’s.

People on Facebook who have written in their bio ‘my kids are my world’, fuck off for Fuck sake.

The thread thats running at the moment "what sort of house do you live in?" or something like that.
Pages and pages of people describing their house. Fucking YAWN.

(same with threads about what does your toddler eat and you get a minute by minute breakdown...)

I remember being v bored a lot as a DC, mainly at school.

don’t experience boredom much now, find a lot of the things posters describe as irritating rather than boring. Eg domestic work can be boring, but I struggle more with the frustration of the time it takes up.

Now the main time when experience boredom is when on a long journey but can’t read / listen to a podcast.

DIY. Yawn. I positively loath it in fact.
