What bores you the most?

[TazzyDrunk]

Snooker

Prime minister questions.

My dad is one of the most boring people alive. He gets these incredibly niche interests (currently collecting watches, looking at watches in the windows of jeweller's shops, reading up on the history of watches online) and just has absolutely no idea when people are fed up of listening to him. He's bad at reading social cues so he can quite happily bang on about something for five minutes and not even register that you haven't made any "listening" noises in all that time.

He also does that thing where he reports every single aspect of a conversation he has had with someone. "So I says, what do you think of that then? And he says, I don't know. I says, oh." And telling me about the comings and goings of people I've never heard of and couldn't care less about.

So, unfortunately, my dad bores me the most. He's lovely and everything, but god he's dull.

Other contenders for the title include people who are "into" running and whose Facebook feeds consist solely of pictures of themselves grinning at the end of a parkrun, in their hi vis and running tights.

People who bleat on about their sex life.
Long meetings.
Christenings.
Anything admin related like filling on forms

Playing with kids. Nothing more boring than being passed the naked misshaped Barbie and being told to "play" which means talking in an American accent and not being allowed to use the pretty dresses

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper I enjoy listening to people talking about their niche interests! you dad has an interest in horology. An ology!

Forms yes - at the dentist for everyone I can barely not miss anything

Mr Men, the wordy ones esp

People who want to be all outraged more than they care about what actually happened. "Did you see that story in the Mail about xxxx - ooh, it's terrible, shouldn't be allowed.."
"oh yes, I bet that actually there was this reason or maybe this other mitigating circumstance."
Person looks at me like I have two heads for not wanting to play their 'aint it awful'game and continues, "well, I still think it's disgusting and..."

Boring as. Even worse than women at work going on about their diets in a one-downmanship way - "Oh no, I just ate a biscuit, I'm so bad and terrible..." Eat the biscuit or don't, just stfu...

Most recently, the third episode of Dracula. Spent the last two thirds going, ‘oh my god when are they going to get to the point?!’ And then there wasn’t any point to any of it.

People who talk incessantly.

Quentin Tarantino films they seem to have loads of dialogue

Jodie Whittaker as Dr Who wittering on and on.

My eyes glaze over

Golf

TwentyViginti would you be interested in taking my place at the next family Christmas? My dad would LOVE you, and would most likely become insufferable once he found out his interest was an ology.

@eugenesaxe stick em in a bowl, pour over boiling water and leave for 10 mins. 😉😉😉

Most children and babies
Other sister's DP...as Holly Golightly would say ...a "thumping bore"!
Sport of any kind whatsoever
Fitness
Motorbikes and cars

Brexit - am so sick of it.

Fitness regimes - my colleague goes on about her running she literally has no other interests.

The range of weights of various bike components relative to their cost. Kill.me.now.

The thing that is currently boring me is one of those snack-pasta-in-a-cup things. It has no flavour. I think I used too much water, although I don't believe it'd make much difference

People talking about others whom I don't know and never will.

Games and gaming is something I can't add anything to, so I just sit there feeling the hair growing on my head. It's the only way to shut me up tbh.

Washing the pots

Football yackety-yak. Don't mind watching the actual match on tv but the aftermath when they sit there talking endlessly about it? Ugh.

Same goes for the Formula 1 presenters who all stand there in a row, with their legs akimbo.

Football.

People who talk about running/marathons/personal bests all the time and share maps and stats of their runs 😴. See also, gym/weight lifting bores.

Ironing.

The school run.

Children's shows and plays (unless it's preschool because they're usually pretty cute).

Pets.

Cars
Make-up
Watching other people play videogames

People who tell the same story over and over again. Yeah, heard that one at least 7 times before, Karen

My mother making an as follows conversation about people she works with who I'll never meet

"and then she said"

And I thought WELL

and Sharon agreed so I SHOWED HIM

This was particularly horrific in her retail years as the exchanges could not have been more mundane but were allegedly hilarious to all

Parties
Pubs where the music is so loud you can't hear what anyone is saying
Having a shower
Trying to get to sleep
Motorways
OTT virtue-signalling and wokeness
Cooking

@EugenesAxe I am so with you on the shallot peeling.

Our NDNs whose sole topic of conversation is their dogs. Just shut up, I'm sick of listening to the dogs yapping, I don't want to hear you as well.

Friends who post endless photos of their many holidays. And post them all over again two years later just to fill up their FB feed and remind us where they've been. Because they are going again. Yawn.

Television programmes about baking.

VAT returns.

Rich tea biscuits.

Contemptuous vegans. Yes, all right, but do you have to be so nasty? looking at you dear colleague

Sanding down woodwork. I quite like the actual gloss painting, but dear God the sheer tedious awfulness of the preparation.
