Football, any
Other people's running journeys - I love running, but I do it to escape, the more runners I meet, I have to listen to the run talk, defetats my aim!
online gaming, any
Other people's jobs - funny stories, problems, issues I'm great, the boring details- no
Finance and accounting, stocks, shares, hedge funds zzzzzz

Everything my BIL says

BlueBooby · 03/06/2020 23:59

When my partner tells me aboutt something that's happened. I don't know if there's a word to describe this but it takes him a very long time to get to the point and it's hard to not get frustrated.

"I bought a loaf of bread on Monday and.... It was Warburton's, you know the small one they do? Or was it Hovis? Actually it was on Tuesday this happened. So I bought some hovis and... Oh it was Monday because I'd just had that meeting with Steve and it was raining, so I bought a loaf of bread and..."

Sport. Especially when someone thinks explaining it will make it more interesting (still just someone kicking a ball).

Football - I would be extremely happy if football of all levels never ever resumed after lockdown but mostly the Premier League

My DH's parents - Sweet Jesus they are fucking dull! Not even a nice dull - just dull.

Anything my DH watches - I'm currently sat pretending to be remotely interested in that Star Trek Picard thing. I have no idea what's going on!

When my DD gives a full commentary on an episode of "Miraculous" - it's cringe worthy!

Playing pretend with the kids and they keep saying "Pretend you were a snake and you said this" Jeez kid at least give me some creative licence here!

When my Mum talks about "Sarah" or "Ruth" at work - I know everything about them but I have no idea who the fuck they are!

Other people's kids that aren't my relatives - just no.

Sport.

The Finance spreadsheet my DH made up for us. Our finances are good and haven't changed for years but we have to discuss it EVERY MONTH.

The political, Corona, Trans rights and Feminism threads on this site, they’re boring and in all honesty I don’t know enough about any of them to truly comment but I do read them and they are so tedious, you can’t change the world and so many people get these days are offended by fucking anything and esp on the bloody internet.

SiliconHeaven · 04/06/2020 01:08

Star signs and predictions. It’s just bollocks. What a waste of time

StrangeAddiction · 04/06/2020 01:15

@LightDrizzle

People wittering on and on about people or things I don’t know and I am not interested in. The worst of it is that politeness requires you to pay enough attention to give occasional appropriate responses so you can’t just blank it out. I feel trapped and angry.
This! Dh just does not stop talking about his many hobbies and also likes to show me videos that I'm not interested in. He always says "its not on for long" but to me that should be 30 seconds or less but nope its usually at least 30 minutes. I have pissed him off a few times by falling asleep whilst listening to him or watching whatever shite he wants me to see so you'd think he'd get the hint! HmmGrin

People showing me photo's on their phones. The latest was a cake on a plate in a kitchen, a cat sitting on a windowsill, and a frog in their garden. I have three cats that sit on the windowsills.!

Middle-aged men talking about David Bowie.

I'm 41. I LOVE David Bowie.

But I am so over these man-boys acting as though the world ended when Bowie died in 2016.

YouAndMeAndTheDevilMakesThree · 04/06/2020 05:11

Football - it has such an overblown sense of self importance.
