to think this was the most boring conversation ever?

[OjackieO]

A group of 7 of us got together on Saturday night for drinks and snacks at one of our houses.

For 15 minutes they talked about their cleaning schedules, how they sweep the floor three times a week, what day they do laundry etc

Now I love my friends and I am interested in their lives but I genuinely could not give a fuck about what day anyone does their vacuuming on. Especially when we're suppose to be having drinks and having fun.

Aibu? I really just wanted to scream "Oh. My. God. Are we SERIOUSLY discussing this?"

Since I've not been drinking I've come to a harsh realisation of how boring some people are, you don't notice when you're pissed.

like the taste of your own spit

BOAK

I LOVE talking about cleaning/ tidying/ household organisation etc, although I'm quite lazy- but I have this fantasy life in which I'm highly organised!

I miss 'how clean is your house' so much- my favourite ever tv programme!

Hubba bubba, send them my way .

ilovemargaretatwood - I also love H.C.I.Y.H. I used to watch reruns of it when I needed motivating to clean the toilet seat with a cotton bud

Sorry OP

Are you one of my friends OP? It was 6 rather than seven of us and we discussed (as well as other stuff) cleaning schedules, cleaning products and how dirty some hotels we have stayed in recently are.

My friend and I once had a conversation in the car for 15 straight minutes about what washing powder we used and why. Our teenage daughters were quietly pissing themselves laughing in the back seat, and timing us to see how long we'd go on about it. We would probably have carried on for longer but one of them couldn't hold it in any longer, yelled "oh my GOD!" at us and they both fell about laughing.

If you think that is the most boring conversation ever, you really should spend some time with my in laws. This would seem utterly riveting in comparison.

Boting to you, I discuss the joys of cillit bang for ages with my friends...that's how I know we are best friends forever...supermarket price changes, cleaning....then we get hammered and inappropriate

Boring not boting...boting sounds interesting!

THIS THREAD HAS PUT ME TO SLEEP ZZZZZZZZZ

Actually it has made me laugh out loud - thanks everyone!

Mumoftwinsandanother I'm not one of your friends, unfortunately our conversation didn't lead to cleaning products we use.

Maybe I am just weird as I clearly was the only one thinking how much fun it would be to stab myself in the leg with my fork...

I could talk for hours about skin care though. Different toners, cleansers, serums.

Never mind; it gets better. They will talk about their babies/children/teenagers; gardens/house extensions/holidays and just when you think now at last we can talk about the Meaning of Life and Everything, they acquire grandchildren.
