It's almost like, they take over your life or something and there's nothing left to talk about for 20 years until the little fuckers move out (if yr lucky) and then you only have the sound of each others' silence...

Or something...

I don't mind talking about anything, I like it when people are passionate.

At work, it's different though. Subjects that aren't related to my role directly bore me. For example, when I have to attend meetings/conferences/webinars that don't touch on sales, implementation or product development. They're a complete waste of my time.

See, I don't mind that at all. I think it's good they have a strong interest. I think the worst people are those who lack enthusiasm/excitement about stuff. Apathy is way more boring.

Sorry but I love my sci-fi, some sport, can't figure out baseball but love American Football.

Have a guy at work who is incredibly anally retentive about the weather. Directions as well. The amount of time he spends talking about his route to work. Anything that saves him 5 mins (or a few quid) is all that's left in the world that still gets him excited. I pity his wife. Hoping to find her on here one day, lol.

That makes sense as it's akin to teachers; I did well in maths classes where the teacher was brilliant but absolutely dire where they were awful and seemed to forget that it's not easy for some of us. Health and safety teachers too

Oh I agree, but those who live their life through a tv screen I find irksome...especially when they start thinking they are experts because they watch a lot. Football fans and ufc fans are amongst the worst for it...get on the pitch/cage and do it, then you can talk about it...

Bragging and posturing about money and possessions bores me to tears. My ex's extended family included a few wealthy members who would congregate at weddings and funerals and spend hours showing off to anyone unlucky enough to be within grabbing distance. It was tedious.

It's not long now until the next Big Brother.

I've no interest in celebrities, most reality TV either, cars, shopping, kids, trending crap of the day, other halves, cookery shows, most sport and tons of other grey topics that seem to obsess many.

Politics, science, technology and history are reasonable bets with a massive scope and appeal. I'll discuss religion with some people but not for me to learn and be converted.

For me It's the person I find boring not the subject.....usually anyway.

I admire people who can make 'boring' topics interesting just by how passionate and knowledgeable they are about it....there are obviously exceptions but that's subjective to the individual.

The two types of bores I dislike the most are the boasters that have to let you know the cost of all their expensive shite n try to lord it over those with less money/smaller car/house....the kind of folk who see everything as a competition and are self righteously condescending at every opportunity

The other type of bore is the whinger/moaner....always banging on about being owed money/their wife spending all their money/how much they hate their job blah blah blah add infinitum.....most of them(maybe not all) you soon learn don't want solutions or helpful advice...they just want to drone on n have folks feeling sorry for them.

Everyone can be entitled to a wee moan but when all they spout is negativity non stop I just want to slap em upside the head!

There's still a few generic spraffs that bore me no matter how enthusiastic n Knowledgeable the spraffer is......Football n any technical subjects n terms I know nothing about....my eyes glaze over if I haven't already walked off!

But that's just my opinion.....Yawwwwn

For those south of the border(most of you!) spraff=talk

Why has that bake off thing got into the national news! I know some fans are on fab but I get the feeling there are several dozen cooking shows a week now. I'm not interested. There are a few more hundred shows covering buying houses abroad or as income streams. I find it appalling whilst millions are living in overpriced rental properties - where are their shows?

I don't watch soaps, cookery or house porn. Shouldn't there be more shows about sex!

Its when they say 'so and so was shit, I would have done things differently'...but they are not good enough, never will be, will never do more than watch then pontificate.....I have no respect for these people..fans or not..I have an emotional connection with what I do but that is down to the blood, sweat, tears, broken bones I have given over the years to get to the level I am..I feel no need to brag about it to people who do not care or share my passion.

If however they went out and played and could relate to something first hand....they might get more than a cursory nod

Having said that footballers are over played idiots!! Sorry I needed to vent

So you don't have a view on the quality of a film? Or of a pop band?

Are you saying the only people who are allowed to have a view are those that are in the industry? But to what level?

Eg I played for a Sunday League team - is that good enough?

Or semi pro? Or maybe a League 2 player? Are they justified in offering a critique of a Premier League player if they've not played at that level?

All of this. I understand that people's children are the biggest deal in their lives, but that really doesn't make them the slightest bit interesting to anyone else.

(Unless it's me talking about my over indulged lets, because they're worth it

- but I only bring them up if asked)

"I don't mind talking about anything, I like it when people are passionate.

That is fine as long as it is something they actually do, rather than just watch.

Football fans who know every touch of every ball in every game...while sat in a pub..living life by proxy..fucking armchair experts.

If however they went out and played and could relate to something first hand....they might get more than a cursory nod

I wouldn't mind hearing someone say how they scored a goal in their own 5 a side match or something. But discussing a great goal from a match they watched on to in 1976 in great detail is too much!!

My hobby has transfers and performances that I find exciting. But I can't talk about it at work unless I am deliberately getting my own back and trying to bore them

and that's something I personally do and am passionate about.

I think anything has the potential to become boring if you are on the receiving end of a monologue. I give great ones, where I detail my plans for world domination to a captive audience as they are lowered into a vat of acid. It's just a shame the door bell then rings and my audience leaves via the window

Yes he likes me but we had zero in common, which isn't always a recipe for disaster as the great Paula Abdul once said opposites attract but there were bigger reasons I had to break it off with him x

For me it is other peoples children and grandchildren. A conversation about any other subject that may bore me like politics, football or religion, i feel well within my rights to curtail due to the potential for conflict. But can you imagine, whilst being shown endless photos of someones child/grandchild, stating "sorry, im not really interested"

Even worse coming from a woman cos it is assumed every woman loves children.

There's a woman I work with who I actually try to avoid now, because if I make eye contact she will launch into the tales of her latest grandchild and I won't escape for 20 minutes. And I just can't tell her that I really really really don't want to hear about it.

I've got the attention span of a peanut so unless you're interesting I'm not listening!

My neighbour told me his mum died once, I just smiled nodding saying yeah.... yeah.... oh yeah, pretending I was listening.

It was only after when my brother told me what he was saying I realised, felt a bit bad about that one. (Note to self, must listen to boring people)

In the male world, football is some kind of right of passage and an indicator of a real man,a bloke, one of the team,one of the lads...if like me you are not into football,,well you are a social pariah and perhaps thought of as odd or gay...
