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!

Really really sorry but…. Dog owners, pet lovers.

Im neither and listening to people drone on about their dog walks, vet visits, sleep routines is almost as bad as parents who drone on about their kids daily routines, bowel habits etc.

Also, again I’m really sorry but people who are ALWAYS ill and start every conversation with their latest (usually minor) ailments. Or their family ailments in detail from when it started to how it is now.

Also, those who tell you about an incident, very minor like a road block and have to have an in depth discussion about whether it was last Tuesday… no wait, was it last Wednesday? Brenda, was it last Tuesday or last Wednesday when we came across that road block?? Opening the debate to Brenda, drawing out the whole thing for another 10 minutes… nobody fucking cares whether it was fucking Tuesday or bastard Wednesday!! No one!

Of course there is…

are you on glue?! 😉

Cricket

Especially some of Kitty's monologues.

All this! In a voice loud enough to blow the froth off a Horlicks 2 tables away!

We're spunky in Cheadle - we totter on!

“popular” Haha, I’m not at school 😂😂😂

I'm guessing you’re one of the ones who now realised how bored others are when you share your incredibly interesting life details.

When FIL asks how it's going with the baby and doesn't listen to the answer but starts droning on about how it was when he raised the kids. Every. Fucking. Time. And I think most of it is lies anyway because MIL did it all.

Anything is interesting if it’s well told. And I choose non-bores to have in my life, so obviously I’m not bored by what they say. I can’t imaging operating on your assumption that everyone is just as self-absorbed as you, and is just waiting for other people to stop talking.

@JohnTheRevelator having to listen to gentle parenting discussions. Makes me want to blow my brains out.

Dh and work monologues.

Dh and the same story he has told me a million times before.

Ds and a monologue on some natural world thing he's watched some youtube about.

Ds and some monologue about history. Also dh and history.

Dm and her health anxiety.

Dm and her recounting what dsis has been up to.

Friends boring on about holidays/gym/night out/drama with friends.

Dd and work monologue/friendship drama/makeup routine.

Basically all my family and friends droning on at me. It's not like I don't have interesting things to say myself. They just seem to want to speak at me. I think social media is killing actual conversation, everyone speaks either like a podcaster or uploading a status.

My mother in law (who i love dearly, bless her) telling me all^^ about her granddaughter's dancing.

I mean, i like my niece's dancing, but I don't want to hear the minutiae of every single thing that occurs.

On Sunday, i heard about how much washing she brought home, her train journey to Hastings to see her bf, and her bf's pen pal in Japan.

Me and my sister still do
"I've done a plait!"
"It looks real nice"

Being talked at by someone whi has indulged in the white powder. Utterky tedious

Birth stories…sometimes they last longer than the actual labour.

Kitty is genius though, I don’t think anyone but Patricia Rutledge could deliver those lines.

My dad always used to do this! NC now, but it used to drive me mad. "Bore, off, Dad. I don't care."

IME, committed letches always justify their behaviour with, "Well, she was coming on to me, what was I supposed to do?" 🤮

Oh god, I used to work with a man who was always quoting classic sitcoms, and seemed to think he was going to get a medal for it. Total prick. He also used to affect accents for no real reason, as if that made him quirky and fun. It didn’t.

Eight years I worked at that place. Eight fucking years of some twat asking me for my timesheets in the voice of Boycey from Only Fools And Horses.

@KreedKafer , that would be my worst nightmare!

I understand your PIL woe, but my ex MIL used to talk to me about her work colleague's obsessive behaviour towards / borderline stalking of John Barrowman. It was bleakly fascinating but I couldn't get enough of it. Whenever the subject came up, I was all ears

DH recounting every stage of his 10km run ! Just awful!

I used to endure a variation of this where lovely friend would be talking about a vaguely interesting incident, but her bloke would constantly jump in with stuff like, "No, babe, it didn't happen last Wednesday, it was last Thursday." Or "No, you weren't eating pretzels when X happened, you were eating dry roasted peanuts."
Seriously, bloke, STFU! It doesn't matter!
FFS

Someone in the tram on the other side of the office who went to Glastonbury for the first time this year. Oh good lord, she must have said amazing at least 100 times!!

Mind you I ran my first ultramarathon at the weekend and will happily tell anyone and everyone all about it. I do have the self-awareness to tell everyone that I know I'm being really boring about it though!!

Marrrrlane...

😂 at least your MIL had a career! Mine worked only 3 hours a week, needless to say we don't understand one another!

Ahem...

"I've done a plait,

"It's right effective is that"...

I told you I was tedious 😃

I reached over...tapped her on the cleavage with a pastry fork and said "my mother gave birth to twins in an unheated wash house, then got straight up and finished the mangling, so think on".
