What bores you the most?

[TazzyDrunk]

Snooker

Prime minister questions.

People complaining constantly about minor ailments or being tired. Guess what, everyone gets a cold or is tired sometimes.

What they had for breakfast, what they are going to have for breakfast tomorrow. What they ate for breakfast on holiday.

The woman I used to work with who not only treated me to a long and detailed account of her holiday but also then loaded a street map on her phone to point out where each and every event took place. She was my boss and I was new so I couldn't tell her to shut up. I excused myself to go to the toilet to hide. No such luck. She and her maps were still waiting for me when I got back. I was so glad when she left.

Detailed descriptions of Aunty Jill's medical procedures and ensuing complications. Who the hell is Aunty Jill?

This is a great thread.

My ex used to bore me to death with the politics of his home country 🤦🏻‍♀️ why would I care?

But also: anyone preaching about the NHS (I work in it but they usually don't), formula 1 (the cars just go round and round?), people telling me about their holidays usually where they just sat by the pool and ate food and also those who love to tell me what they ate for dinner in minute detail.

Don't get me started on people trying to get me to watch comedy videos on YouTube (do I have to politely laugh even when it's shit?) or with people boring me with their problems at work (I don't care, no really I don't)

Ironing

People talking about people I don't know

Self-centred people who have no interest in anyone else

DH explaining how the tv remote works...

Oh, and drunk people.

I can't believe no one has said queues yet. Queues make me feel as though I'm going to explode.

Being on public transport when it's too noisy to concentrate on reading, and there are still hours of the wretched journey to go.

Being stuck at the railway station when the train gets cancelled.

Cookery.

Oh, and so very many more. I'm like a pp - it's easier to say what I don't find boring.

But I like some of the things that have been mentioned here. I love transport museums, anything steam-driven, and talking about cars.

MIL telling me what her friends have for dinner

Staff meetings

Football

Cricket

Playing make-believe with children.

Baby bores. I have been one myself and am thoroughly ashamed of myself. I love hearing about a baby and their progress, but when it's someone's only topic of conversation, it is beyond tedious.

Oh yes, as a pp said, drunk people. I was in the unfortunate position of being the only sober person amongst 5 very drunk people at the weekend and couldn't have been more bored.

Reality tv
I mean come on. I think it's starting to get a tad bit ridiculous now.

Parents in dc school, they're of a type and all socialise together. They have similar jobs, lifestyles, looks and the same plastic surgeon. All very predictable and boring.

Small talk
Brexit
Sport
People talking about how great they are

People going into minute detail about their family trees makes me want to scream. Esp if they've been researching all the obscure branches. I really couldn't give a fuck.

People talking about their kids’ progress.

Men’s sport.

People who have no “stop talking” filter

Oh yes people who are ALWAYS ill. I have a colleague who I avoid because I can’t take the moaning. I have been known to snap at her that perhaps she’s shouldn’t be in work if she is SO ill again.

People who go on about their ancestory DNA results bore me rigid. Oooo im 67%scandinavian and the rest is random nonsense,

solo acoustic performers or music of said performers. Shoot me now, this is so fucking dull

Musicals
Anything to do with children
Children talking at me
Children
Watching most TV
Star Wars films
Any serious films
Any dancing other than classical ballet
Spending time at PIL's
Most modern music
People in general

Also: sport

Route talk especially on arrival at destination. Possible alternatives to route taken talk. Potential route talk on departure.

You've been at the arse end of a five mile tailback all the way there and you know you're going to be at the arse end of a five mile tailback within 15 minutes of leaving so why the fuck does it matter which one?

Had another think.

Gaming and being talked at about gaming (nephew, I'm looking at you)
My sister talking about my nephew
My nephew
Having a bath
Politics
Having to sit through the news when DH watches
Housework
Gardening - I love plants and grow loads of unusual and rare things, mostly from seed, but actually digging/planting/weeding etc is so dull
Our neighbour who, when I bump into him, drones on and on and on about... I don't know, I stop listening after a bit
Long periods (more than about 3 days) of really hot weather

Having to sit through the news when DH watches

yes, my DW and I have pretty much stopped watching the news, so it's always painful when my DM or her DM are over and watching it and getting constantly outraged at the outrage stories. "Did you see that story on blah blah blah, I can't believe it, people like that should be locked up, just terrible". No, I didn't see it, I don't care

A client socialising event. Tg I don’t have to do that these days.

I’ll amend that to one where you have to stand and chat. I’ve had some ok client dinners.

Oh and housework.
