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.

Oh god yes! I'd rather watch the grass grow, never mind cut it. Infuriating bastards!

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.

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

Nope ...not even close

Just had too many nights out with the types I describe....boring as hell

Austria!

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.

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

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.

Robsweezie

every second conversation is about sport.

career obsessed jobsworth types who live to work and think their job title defines them.

anti establishment, anti anything mainstream, popular and widely revered - poppies middle class death cult etc.

militant music fans sneering at other genres.

Ulysses Gaze

People who talk about their work all the time - not the minutiae of their job usually - but the people they work with who a) I've never met and b) I'll never meet.
