To wish DH could recognise when he’s boring people???!!

[ChampionWorrier21]

Had lunch with new friends this weekend. They asked him what he does for a living - let’s say he works in IT.

If it had been me, I’d have said something short and sweet like “I work in IT, I’m the person people call when they need a hand with their computer” for example. Before he answered, I even half jokingly said “Try to keep your answer under 2 minutes” as I know what he’s like. His answer was more like “My company was formed back in 1992, I joined in 2005 and now run a team of 12, we work with a system called xx blah blah blah…”

He went on and on about details that you wouldn’t understand unless you worked in his industry. Our friends were shifting around in their seats, clearly (to me) bored by the detail he was going into. I felt embarrassed and kept trying to interject to stop him talking but he couldn’t take a hint. He did this when talking about other subjects.

Why the hell can’t he judge what is and isn’t a reasonable amount of detail and recognise when people are bored?!! It makes me so uncomfortable!!!

I always imagine she just turned into an appalling golf bore at St Andrew’s. With ‘solid little Sally’ by her side.

She was, until she bashed the captain over the head with one of the clubs in a dispute over a hole in one and got ejected. Sally was no bloody use, she was off shagging the caddie.

‘It’s my temper!’ cried Darrell, rubbing her nose the way she always did when upset. Her apology was so spontaneous and sincere that the captain didn’t press charges, but Sally, sick of being the sidekick in plaits, got her barred from every Scottish golf club, anyway.

Plot twist: Gwendoline was married to the club president.

I have to ask OP, does he have other more positive attributes that could make up for this. I’m thinking if he is an absolute stallion in bed, hung like a shire horse and goes like train you could cut your losses?

Give it a rest.

Genius 😃
