Is there anything more boring than....

[JohnTheRevelator]

Someone who keeps quoting supposedly hilarious lines from films they've seen at you? Aaargh I can't stand it much longer!

PILs telling me about their friend's health issues in intimate detail as though I should be interested, every time we see them.

Being told about the latest recipe MIL has followed and the minute differences to how she usually makes it.

Colleagues talking about what they had for dinner last night at home and what they'll be having tonight. I don't care!

Updates about friend's dog/cat/guinea pig and their unending pictures of them looking 'cute'.

Sharing the shite they see on social media Facebook twitter Instayawn.

As in sharing it in a message or worse, shoving phone in my face. Grrrr

I don't go on it, as it's shite and sucks the day away so would I wish to see your curated shite ? 🤨

Listening to someone talk about the computer game they are playing makes me heartily wish that wild horses would run in and whisk me away.

… you’ve hit the nail on the head with anyone who thinks they’re hilarious tbh.

For me it’s a girl who thinks she’s a bloody comedian but really all she does is drone on incessantly about herself and make a drama out of everything. I would give an example but it’s so mind blowingly dull I don’t talk to her anymore. If I do have to be around her I just zone out, not that she’d actually notice as she’s too busy inventing hilarious stories about her utterly mundane life.

Endless quotes from “only fools and horses “ , I’ve never watched the programme because of it .

@Commonsenseisnotsocommon , I agree about pets !

It's called Matraesence

No they will never be the same, they will be better, but it takes time.

He might have shaved it 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

People talking about hair and makeup. I have 2 friends that love discussing in detail their skin routine. Mine is water and flannel and occasionally sunscreen. Theirs is fucking boring.

It’s me I’m worried will never be the same after having to listen to this drivel and nothing else for years on end in an attempt to stay friends with people I love…or loved.

I said later on, I didn’t/don’t go into such graphic detail just, “It’s been a rough week, tummy bugs all round!” or “let me just get this nappy sorted”. Maybe the Matraesence skipped me. Or maybe I just know most people don’t want to hear 30 minute monologues about the pooing habits and textures of a “15 week old”!

My DH is learning Japanese. I am not learning Japanese. I cannot understand any Japanese he decides to share with me. Which happens a lot 🙄

That’s a soul destroyer. I’d take film lines all day long over 1 minute of GDPR.

People detailing their diets and fasting regimes 🙄 God. Just kill me now.

People who insist on telling you in detail about their holidays. So, on the first day we landed at X, we saw the Y, we then went to the Z museum ... then we sailed to blah, blah, blah ... oh yawn.

All I need to know is - did you have a good time, yes or no. But if you had a bad time, please elaborate as that may be rather more interesting.

This

God no, that is fascinating (yes I am autistic, how did you guess?! 😆)

Has nobody mentioned a Minecraft monologue from an 8 year old yet?? Or, DS2's speciality- quoting big chunks of (to him) hilarious dialogue from whatever book he's reading 🤦‍♀️

Ooo, get you with your fancy flannel!

I can just about be bothered to cup water straight from the tap in my hands and rub the sleep out of my eyes. If it is the middle of winter I'll sometimes treat myself and wait till the warm water comes through.
😁

Diet talk. I don't care how many calories you have eaten, or how many calories are in my sausage roll.

When DC describe rides they've been on.

Its always basically a variation on 'it goes up quite far, then it goes down, quickly'

I think just about any detail of peoples lives they share with you.
They never seem to comprehend that nobody really cares expect them.
Everyone else is just nodding politely whilst not giving a shit.

Right. Well, you must be popular.

People correcting themselves when telling an already boring story.

"I bumped into my second cousin's best friend's hairdresser at (insert tedious detail) last Tuesday morning. No, TELL A LIE, it was Wednesday morning, not Tuesday because I do x on Tuesdays and y on Wednesdays".

I do not give a flying shit when you did it! Or that you did it at all.

People who don’t get to the point. You’re not remotely interested anyway but they’re saying “last Wednesday, hang on, or was it Thursday?” I’m thinking I don’t give a toss! What does it add to the already boring story. To have to listen is like standing there in a straight jacket

Droning on about your perfect relationship and your perfect adult children and how close you all are and never argue and etc etc etc...

Oh but that feeling as a child being so excited to tell parents all about it and their enthusiastic response is one of the best parts of some childhoods!
