All of the above

Both annoyed by and guilty of them Grin

PuppyMonkey · 08/01/2020 17:07

It’s got to be emptying the dishwasher for me.

That and most Reggae music.Grin

People going on and on about their health. It's rarely people who have anything significant wrong with them

Devereux1 · 08/01/2020 17:18

Mothers (it would probably be fathers too, but they're not around and I'm not sure they even do it) in changing rooms/ladies loos speaking ever so loudly and in great detail about their entire life, to their toddlers.

And For The Love Of God, "Graham" who has the misguided belief that women are in need of his opinion, particularly as relates to their appearance.

He mentioned the new coffee place thats opening looks nice to me today.

Marking the 3rd time he's said so in as many days

People talking like they've done everything and know everything.

Jolyon Maugham.

Well, he used to bore me. Now he just makes me absolutely sick.

You get the dullards on trains too - and I am not talking about their children. Just bore off wannabe teachers.

Formula 1 racing. Just cars going round and round in circles. And what a chronic waste of fuel!

Brexit. SICK TO DEATH OF HEARING ABOUT IT.

ShinyGiratina · 08/01/2020 18:24

Housework. Dull. Relentless.

Talking about other people doing sport. Doing sport, fine. Watching sport, fine. Droning on and on about other people doing sport. Yawn.

The ailments of people you don't know, and DM's cats.

Celebrities, particularly the type that's famous for not really doing anything.

Heat pumps. Or anything else (ineviably technical) that DH drones on about when he gets with his brothers. Never sit between DH and a BiL for a meal as the obscenely boring conversation 6 inches above your head will drown out any other opportunity for conversation.

Coffee or beer enthusiasts.

"Social" venues such as restaurants or pubs when you can't socialise from being blasted by music.

KatherineJaneway · 08/01/2020 18:52

Any conversation during which someone blames Thatcher for everything
Football
Soaps
Cricket
Music snobs

Youngatheart00 · 08/01/2020 18:56

So true about the Thatcher thing 😂

BillywigSting · 08/01/2020 18:59

Housework. All of it. But more specifically laundry.

Coshh mandatory training.

Golf. How to spoil a nice walk 101.

May2020 · 08/01/2020 19:01

Hearing about other people's dreams. Absolutely hate it

Iamthewombat · 08/01/2020 19:18

Re Strictly: just once, I wish a contestant would stray from the ‘my professional partner has changed my life blah blah journey blah blah friends for life’ script and say, do you know what, Kevin is a bit of a twat and a bossy boots and his mumming to the camera sets my teeth on edge.

Please, potential contestants. Just do it. I’ll vote for ya.

othervoicesotherrooms · 08/01/2020 19:24

People male colleagues talking football or cricket after the game/match. They're all experts obviously but their TV style post match analysis is DULL.

Ludways · 08/01/2020 19:24

Shopping for white goods. The un'fucking'believable tedium of discussing spin cycles or duration of washes.

QuestionableMouse · 08/01/2020 19:26

@LightDrizzle

Ah, I see you've met my mother. She talks endlessly about people I don't know and then gets cross when I'm not interested. We've literally had the same conversation the last three times....

thesuninsagittarius · 08/01/2020 19:27

@Iamthewombat I would so watch that!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 08/01/2020 19:28

BentNeckLady · 08/01/2020 19:31

Any sport
Clothes shopping
Cleaning

Lordfrontpaw · 08/01/2020 19:33

Laundry. If I ever won the lottery I would engage a person full time just to do the laundry.

LoonyLunaLoo · 08/01/2020 19:38

The convoluted stories one of my colleagues tells.

Thinking about what to have for tea Every. Damn. Night because no one else has any suggestions.

Emptying and reloading the dishwasher.
