What's the most BORING subject people can bring up?

[NewYorkFirstTimer]

Inspired by another thread. Of all the subjects someone can bring up in conversation what's the one that makes you want to roll your eyes so far back you can see behind your brain?

Light-hearted of course

Their pets. I've overheard people talking about them in such depth, I assumed they were talking about their kids. But no, it's their dogs.

Gym routines.

Celebrity gossip.

Pronouns.

Their running regimes

Heat pumps
DIY (in forensic detail as in what obscure item is out of stock at screwfix), aesthetic stuff is fine
DM's cats and hedgehog
Warhammer
The ailments of random people I have never met and will never meet.
When people ask you if you watch a programme, you don't and they continue in great detail anyway.
Friends. I'm still traumatised by my friend's obsession with the show in the 90s and it seems I'm the only person of my generation who can't stand it.
Disney (for the reason above too)

It is mainly about delivery and obsession level rather than purely about topic. I have learned never to sit between DH and his brothers, especially for a long family dinner. I did once end up pulling the kids' colouring out from my handbag by dessert to save my sanity, and the monologuing boomed on over my head without noticing that I'd zoned out into something else entirely.

Pronouns.

That's just it with the people who get so exercised and excited about pronouns - they either don't understand or care that the vast majority of us find pronouns incredibly boring and don't share their enthusiasm at all.

Aside from all of the hidden agendas that many pronoun-afficionadoes have in centring and demanding that everybody declare 'their' pronouns, and use non-grammatically-correct, non-sex-based ones, it's like asking the rest of us many times a day to declare our favourite total number of bricks in a boundary wall - and London red or Oxford buff, with two or three holes; or to give graphic lengthy detail as to why we prefer Aquafresh Minty-Fresh Double-Stripe in a pump over Colgate Peppermint Total Whitening Formula with added cavity-protection in a marginally smaller tube. If you want us to be genuinely honest with you, we couldn't possibly care less if we tried.

Office politics in other peoples work places where I do not work.

Also dogs. Don’t have one dont particularly like them hearing about dog care or their personalities is deadly dull to the non dog people

One friend talks about her food allergies every time I see her. I wasn't very interested the first time:..!

Dreams!

Pronouns

This.Your special identity and how unique and superior you are.

Also the golf handicap system.

Pronouns

Oh god oh god oh god

Just fuck off

Another for conspiracy theories. I suppose it makes boring people feel interesting and intelligent!

Their kids
their travel
how great their dh/dw/dc is at whatever
restaurants they have been to
politics
vegetarian/vegan
their weight loss and how much they looooove unsweetened foods/drinks

i don’t care 😂

Their dog.

Their dreams
Their running or cycling progress or goals
Horoscopes
Detailed plot lines of films or TV you’ve expressed no interest in, particularly if they correct themselves a lot -“Was he called Ian? Hang on a minute.. Greg! It was Greg! - So Greg goes to Cassie and says …” 😬

Football

Their children

I like hearing about their dogs and cats!

Their job and long arse stories about colleagues I don't know. I get so bored and lost with it all that I switch off completely.

Also the intricacies of fucking DIY. FIL properly dissects every job 'name dropping' parts of pipes or types of boilers. My eyes glaze over.

Also the ins and outs of dog training. I have a dog, I trained my dog, I love dogs and can appreciate a funny/cute dog story. But I don't feel the need to showcase my dogs every ability like I'm at crufts whenever we're with other people. Makes me cringe.

And at the risk of sounding like Victor Meldrew I have one more...

Music/Concerts. I like music just fine, but when people go to every 'gig' going it gets a bit tedious hearing how Dave Grohl was so amazing for the 20th time.

That's such a perfect example of what you know is going to be a conversation from hell!

Definitely this!

I do have numerous medical appointments as it's a life long thing so just absorbed into the mundane routine category, so maybe that's skewed my view a bit, but I hate hearing about appointments and don't like people asking me about mine either. Or expecting me to remember their appointments. Ain't gonna happen.

I have a relative who loves telling long, detailed sagas about incidents where he "stuck it to the man". It usually involves him receiving poor service from a garage/bank/other service provider, and he always ends up getting an apology, compensation or an admission that he was right all along. It's a toxic combination of tedious, self indulgent detail and smugness.

Cryptocurrency or any other kind of trading.
how much they can lift.
other boasts that basically require long lectures that beg for an appreciative, fawning audience. Barf

Cars
sport
Pokemon go (don’t ask)

Anything that doesn’t involve me.
😉😁😁😁
