What things make you think someone must be really boring?

Mr. FoggPatches

Was talking to someone today who told me that he was worried he'd been scammed as his coldplay tickets hadn't arrived yet.
Coldplay
Jesus.

Good start to your list. Do go on.

When they talk about how brilliant their last night on the piss was, how ****ed up they got and the "high-jinks" they got up to.

There's hobbies I definitely wouldn't be into, plane spotting is one, but I dunno if I'd be calling people boring for liking different pastimes than me. Maybe if they'd no hobbies or interests whatsoever, that might be boring.

Turtyturd

Wasn't there a poster on here who started a thread pretending he was coming up to Dublin so he could fire out a few cliches?

That'd make me think he was fairly boring.

Very good.


But everyone secretly likes coldplay.

Mine. Anything to do with celebrity gossip, jungle, big brother, x factor, strictly etc and ad finitum.


They should merge all these popularity contests into one show, drunk dancing whilst eating spiders and singing. Throw in a few fights and a round of tears. Would make for a good hour of television and during the final credits......

Whoosh! Hellfire missile from a drone.

Sorted.

Eating the exact same sandwich for lunch every single day.

A love of boybands and their ilk.

Only buying diesel cars even though its a 4 kilometer round trip to work.

People who tag themselves on Farcebook in the gym/pub/chipper/sack.

Stay at home mothers putting up spawn pics and moaning about their hard life. (One ma of 4 wanted to know what to get her man for Christmas - I suggested the snip.)

In all seriousness, people who are defined by one solitary thing and seem to have F all to offer an opinion on or converse with you about. They can only talk about their English premiership team, their gym/running/training routines or their bloody kids. Facebook mothers are the worst actually. I choose them. Congrats, you reproduced a little devil looking kid called Kayden, like billions of other people. And you definitely like Minion memes.

I would have had this kind of live and let live approach to people until I encountered a group of British train spotters on a train in Ireland a few years ago. It turns out every trainspotter cliché is true.

Anyone who is into IT or talks about house prices. Anyone who is on Facebook. Snore.

12 pubs of Christmas crawl.

The more organised and 'mad altogether' it is, the more boring they are.

Widdershins

If they are overly enthusiastic about politics, drag Donald Trump into everything including halloween costumes, if they studied philosophy or if they do performance art. If they are massive fans of superhero movies and comics.

Scheduled, regimented 'craic' followed by a break down of just how much alcohol was involved in it is usually a dead giveaway, yeah. Alcohol, imagine! Mad.

WWN have it down:

ONE full-time mad bastard has taken time out of his busy schedule of mad-bastarding to draw up a preliminary outline of this year’s ’12 Pubs Of Christmas’, which he promises will be ‘totally the best craic ever, like’. Absolute lad Michael ‘Mikey’ Lennon has informed the other members of his ‘DA LADDZ’ Whatsapp group as to what night they will hit the town, as well as a preliminary list of pubs they will hit on their quest to celebrate Christmas, one pint at a time.
“You should see the jumper I’m planning on getting, it’s gas altogether,” said Lennon, speaking exclusively to WWN.

Oh! People who cannot make a joke that isn't sexual, and have an idiosyncratic definition of the concept of 'joke' that's basically 'any sentence with any kind of sexual innuendo or plain old single entendre in it'. You get something of a pass if you're under 19 or so but after then, come on.

I find if you don't guffaw, you're seen as a prude.

People working in middle managemennt level jobs in the public sector or in professions like accountants, teachers, doctors, solicitors who spend all their time worried about pay raises, pensions, house prices, how much tax they pay, their new car, ....its not that they don't have enough to live on , have the nice house and 2 weeks in Spain every year ...but they bitch and their main past time is gossiping about each other and locals

Smart enough to have made a difference....boring and afraid enough to not do anything that really matters beyond their narrow lives ....

JustAThought

not wearing you diwn with their misery ( a bit is OK but not the whole night - its our night too & we could have stayed in for cheap & been miserable at home). But also those that just lurk in a small circle of company and contribute absolutely nothing & say nothing but leech off your stories & contribute nothing . I'm not TV - you have to make some kind of effort. Its interactive . You may be terribly interesting & have incredible stories or past but if you never speak I might as well have brought the foodblender.

Those technology people who have to have the latest new gadget, phone, tablet, thing that connects my washing machine to my shower and kettle. Nobody cares that you have these and you dont need to bore me telling me about them.

It was a 'you had to be there' kind of thing.

10-15 fellas, all in anoraks and nursing thermos flasks comparing notes on different stations and marking them out of ten, the cleanliness of the platforms, the quality of the sandwiches, the toilet facilities, etc.

Arghus

If, on a night out, they spend more time posing and pouting and taking selfies than they do actually being there in the moment.

Pinch Flat

I've a mate who missed a night out with another mate who came back from Sydney - gagging for gargle - because he had to cut the grass.

Good example.
That's the lengths someone is willing to go to avoid those boring Australia stories.

People who are anti everything, always sticking it to the man (or claim they do anyway) and who are resentful of anyone who simply has a profession and lives in the suburbs... and who are always referring to others as "sheeple" and patting themselves on the back for making a difference... when they do nothing.

Sounds like a few people I know. They think they are anarchists. Laughable.

Trains are cool. What have you got against trains? Big powerful machines gliding through the countryside. Wonderful.

Celeb gossip, and that houseproud keeping up with the Jonses suburban crap

ArnoldJRimmer

People who wont stfu about their political views, constantly moaning about the government or the US presidential election. I'm all for a good debate no matter what the subject, but have you nothing else to do in your life other than droning on about Inda being useless or how Hillary was robbed.

These people also tend to change any subject to whatever political view they have and will look for an argument where they can share a prepared soundbite to support their view, stolen from an article they recently read.

schizo1014

People who are vegan reminding everyone else they are vegan, if that is their selling point of them as a person then god help them.

Cantona's Collars

People who twist every conversation around to get in anecdotes about what their kids did that day or else going into minute detail about every inane thing they did. Maybe the price of a trolley of groceries is interesting in their mind but not when shared with us that don't care.

You completely missed the point


I am educated ...lots of people are educated....Its people who have money and a job moaning about money and their possesions...my post is easy to comprehend

Bored with life and bitching and gossoping rather than doing something for others. or breaking out of their bubble once in awhile..Just always afraid about what they are not getting or putting all their energy into their status..spending an evening in the pub talking pensions or who is having it of with whose husband

I have a masters degree..(not the only form of education btw ) ..but education does not stop when you have the job...its does for the people I describe ..For them its a means to an end ...not a life long passion

What makes any of us think we're not boring?

gary0345

People who care too much about the environment. Anyone who talk about trees, pollution, ice caps and climate change.

GMSA

People who go to mass every day. Right dry shytes. Never ones to crack a joke and don't like dirty jokes.

waffleman

I try to make an effort to get to know a person. Sometimes its hard to tell if someone is boring or just shy initially.

If im on a night out though and someone starts talkin about what happened in an office during the week i find that very boring. If they keep going for more than about a minute im usually trying to change the subject or looking for someone else to talk to.
