FabSwingers.com forum: Most boring story

It's a game I used to play with my kids and I thought I'd try it here. Just share your most boring anecdote or make one up. No drama, no excitement. Ideally anyone reading should start nodding off.

I'll start. I put my bins out on a Tuesday and bring them in on Wednesday after they're emptied. Sometimes my neighbour brings them in. Nice of him.

I met a really nice woman at the gym a few weeks ago and invited her back to mine for something to eat. We had a nice meal, friended each other on Facebook and the next day she came back and bought me sone plant pots. We spent about 2-3 days messaging each other constantly on Facebook and then I got bored and stopped. Nothing ever happened

Sorry to be boring! We're all supposed to put the bins out on the morning of collection. So we should all be up to put them out at 6.30 am. The councils don't want them put out the night before. We're not disclosing what we do

I went for a meal with a friend on Friday. We split the bill and paid £40 each.

When he checked his phone it appeared he had been charged £40 twice.

I checked my phone and had been charged just one £40.

We went back to the restaurant and he checked his receipts which showed only two charges of £40. One against me and one against him.

When we got to his house he checked with his bank and they had only paid one £40 charge.

It appeared the two charges on his phone were some sort of glitch !

The first car I got was a green one. I liked that car. Then I got a white one, I liked that car too. The next car after that was red, then I got a blue car, then a deep maroon type of red coloured car. Then for a little while I had a white car again. Then I hit a black car, which I really liked. The last car I had was another blue one but my current car is a grey coloured car, which is ok, but not as nice as the black one, or the white one, or the green one .

I gave two favourite colours of cars. The first car I had which was green, was an old MG and thd green was called “Brooklands Green” which is the best colour ever for MG’s

The black one was a jaguar and the black had like gold and silver flecks in it … it was a beautiful deep black but on closer inspection. Even more than just black… but that is all going to start to be too exciting for this thread

Worthing

I bought some board to place in the loft. I put one board in and got bored. Might do the rest of the boards tomorrow. Hopefully won't get bored boarding the boards.

The electricity contract finished three weeks ago. I need to look up a new deal, but for now we’re just staying the variable tariff.

Took the car to get it's MOT last week.

The garage rang to say it needed a new bulb.

I said "That thing always needs a new bulb, every year"

Lady said "Really"

I said "Yeah. Can you do it today?"

She said "Yes"

I said "Great, let's do that then"

A bit later they rang again to say the car was ready.

I went and picked it up.

"This morning, while waiting for the taxi to come and take me to my hospital check up, I sat and played Tetris on my phone

? Well now I am wondering if your check up was ok!

It was a post-melanoma check up and it was all good thanks. I don't need to see them again for 6 months

But to update my boring story ... while waiting for my appointment I watched all the other people, their eyes glued to a muted TV screen with subtitles

I'm glad to hear it

(the check not the square eyed bunch)

"It's a game I used to play with my kids and I thought I'd try it here. Just share your most boring anecdote or make one up. No drama, no excitement. Ideally anyone reading should start nodding off.

I'll start. I put my bins out on a Tuesday and bring them in on Wednesday after they're emptied. Sometimes my neighbour brings them in. Nice of him. "
