What bores you the most?

[TazzyDrunk]

Snooker

Prime minister questions.

Politics
Cooking
My brother in law - my god he so boring

Starting what should be a short story with 'When we were in Tesco the other day, we just popped in for... oh gosh what did we pop in for? Oh gosh I can't rememebr, cos I remember saying to my Barry that we needed to pop into Tesco for summat.. Oh anyway, we saw this thing...' FFS!!

Football

Politics

Brexit. I wanna scream when people talk about it.

Another Omg I had the weirdest dream hater here. It's boring, it's not real you may aswell just make up a short story while we stand here and am I supposed to get involved? "No way" "Reallllyyy" "what a crazy dream" har har har.

Cricket, The royal family, Going to the hairdresser, folding clothes and washing up.

Those stupid photos young women take, posing with their phone in the picture. Look at meeee!

Doing the same exercise class over and over.
Listening to someone telling a story very slowly.
Someone giving me a detailed account of how they decorated their room (male friend I have)
Game shows
Hoovering.

People describing their weight-loss regimes, especially when they list EVERYTHING that they eat/don't eat/the quantities - It's hideously tiresome and I DON'T CARE - NO ONE DOES (unless you ARE interested and ask them questions)

Militant atheists.

Ironing.
Drunk people. Also people talking about getting drunk or having been drunk.
Sci fi.
Hoovering stairs.

I don't watch very much television (because I'm not interested) and I never watch soaps or reality tv. So when someone starts with, "Have you seen X?" the answer is usually, "No."
Why oh why do they then carry on to tell me the characters, the plot and to share whatever inane details were in the last episode? Ten minutes later I'm STILL not interested and am by now feeling murderous...
Similarly, who said what on Facebook. I don't use Facebook, I don't know the people concerned and I couldn't care less what they said!

People telling me what route they took to get somewhere (and possible alternatives).

Also jazz solos and antique shops.

Bitching! People stabbing others in the back. I have no interest in who is right or wrong.

Golf
Other people's holiday photos

My ex husband.

Working in an office

Parties or times where everyone is drunk and the conversation is going round in circles.

Doing the same thing more than twice. Even if I enjoyed it

My SIL. She is the classic droning storyteller who begins her story a good seven chapters before the event, and then goes into endless epilogues to hammer her point home.

She told me a story recently about the kind of mild coincidence that might make you think ‘Oh, small world’ before you dismissed it from your mind (think running into a neighbour on holiday type of thing) , but clearly the fact that I wasn’t climbing the walls, shouting ‘I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!! TELL ME MORE OF THIS IMPOSSIBLE COLLISION OF TWO PARTS OF YOUR LIFE!!!’ suggested to her that I didn’t get it, so three times she said earnestly, ‘But it was the coincidence, do you see? You couldn’t believe it, could you? I mean, how mad is that?’

And I am trying so hard to like her for my brother’s sake.

Also, sport. The only thing I want to ask sports fans is what terrible lack in their lives makes them care so desperately about whether a ball goes in a hole/net/goal.

Aimless Clothes shopping with other people, I have friends who consider it a hobby...omg it's so dull! I just want to scream when they start stroking another bloody shirt.

Football
Music bores....side eyes DP
Other peoples children
Small town gossip about people I don't know.

Intensely boring and frustrating - peeling shallots or onions that have an outer skin that won't come away nicely but needs chipping off with the edge of a knife. You know the ones - where 'saving time' by peeling off the next soft layer means wasting a lot of otherwise good quality onion.

That post is pretty boring in itself, too.

Framing device
A former colleague’s killer story remains legendary a decade after she left, it is told to newcomers in time. It took about 15 breathless minutes to relate amidst assurances that we’d never believe it, and basically, while on a holiday, her 12 year old daughter left one flip-flop behind and they didn’t realise until they got to the next location, unpacked, and it wasn’t there!!! She’d only left it behind!!! Her flip-flop!!! Just the one!!!
Honestly that was it

Sport. All of it.
People who are unable to self edit and just drone on and on about irrelevant dribble, meandering around the point for aeons while I lose the will to live. There seem to be more of these people the older I get.
The gym and diet routine of the guy who sits beside me in work. Every day he talks me through what he did in the gym last night, and what he plans to eat or not eat. One day I will crack and kill him, and when I am in jail I will say it was worth it.

@LightDrizzle, at least FlipFlop Raconteur didn’t marry your brother. Waah.

Making food, food shopping, smalltalk, school run faces, people who are always happy, cars, trainers, sport, travelling, looking shit

Sport all types,
Climate change ( I know, I understand, I’ve made lifestyle changes. Don’t need thrice daily reminders)
DH banging on with repeated jokes.... well DH just banging on....
