Subjects guaranteed to bore you to tears
Jump to: Newest in thread
So, you're at work or out and about with friends. Basically, you're stuck with this group of people. What's the one subject that always seems to come up that's guaranteed to quickly bore you to death or have you glazing over when people start talking about it?
For me it has to be mobile phones. Why are people so interested in them?! Some people just talk about them all the friggin' time! I just don't get it  |

I used to work at Glow Worm as a spot welder, there was a foundry there as well. A few of us used to go out on a Friday night and one chap from the foundry would always talk about work. One night one of the lads said to him "Oi, will yer shurrup, we can't get to the bar for all those castings in the way"  |

Oh god....the list is endless! Technology, politics, religon, diets, who did what to who,
But the worst is, a friend who is really into American TV progs - Modern Fam, CSI, etc etc. When she starts on about them, I like to fantasise about slitting my own wrists!

Also a bloke that used to go to our local would wait til someone had related a story about something they'd done, then claim that he or someone else he knew had done it as well, usually better or faster....yawn
He never thought of anything original to say himself  |

That sounds very familiar. I know people like that as well. |

People who live their lives through their kids. Also a friend of mine who gets involved in epic shindies with everyone and anyone. He bores me to tears with them, as I just can't get that interested in the leader of the council's reply to his tweet about disruption caused by a new tram system.... |

I used to work with a woman like that. You couldn't say anything without her having dine it or known someone who had. |

Most topics can bore when the participants have limited self-awareness and don't keep things brief and light. Or don't have the sensitivity to know that others' opinions are equally valid.
Bores.
One upmanship.
Goods and money. Cars.
Kids. Partners af nauseum. |

Vegans
No disrespect to any on here, but the ones I know have to mention it ALL the time. I don't care what you eat, or why, I don't want to know and I really don't care! |

Their children
Their health
Their latest diet
Their latest ( always bollocks) health fad
Telling me how to live my life.
Bombarding me with their ideas, in the hope that I might reform myself ( usually Vegans and vegetarians). Vegans are the worst nazis for this.

When they talk about how much money they have or will have in time.
I like to see anybody be successful in life but bragging about money bores me to tears. |
