    Not boring no, but I do get what he is saying. It shows a lack of awareness about what is going on around you. You should be able to reasonably converse about popular culture with other people.

    Locking yourself away from it in a "I don't like that, therefore its not worthy of my time and the same goes for people who like it" is being fairly socially inept. Not to say you have to be an expert on everything but a broad understanding with what's going on in the world is a good thing.

    For example I'm not big into politics but I know enough to get by when the topic comes up. Similarly I have very little time for realityidolswhodancewithbigbrothercelebrityisland......but I keep myself informed so when the people who DO like it bring it up, I have something to contribute.

    Unless you have some genuine common ground then what's the point in forcing conversation. I've a few friends who like pop music, X Factor, celebrity gossip etc. We seem to manage to find something to talk about work, relationships, local issues) but I've never feigned an interest or pretended I'm anything other than clueless on those topics. Life's too short to read celebrity gossip magazines or watch a tv show that you hate, just for the sake of making small talk.

    Anyone who without shadow of a doubt always has to get the latest popular must have like the Nintendo Classic Mini or Carolyn Collection because they don't want to be caught dead without it in the eyes of their peergroup.

    Keeping up to date regarding current affairs even if not hugely interested I'd understand, as it's for all our good. I'm similar - not hugely interested in current affairs but I keep somewhat abreast of it. But in relation to the above celeb stuff because others are into it - why bother? :confused:

    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.

    Were they all out of their minds on heroin?

    A group of us were having a lunch time conversation when Lord of the Rings popped up.

    One guy at the table pronounced that he "wasn't into fiction".

    For me it's the weather. People who like to talk about the weather I find boring. Safe non controversial and usually just stating the obvious.

    Safe????
    Non confrontational?????
    I ended up with a nasty stalker on the weather forum for not wanting snow, who the mods banned, he would keep re-registering/getting banned and I ended up closing my old account to put a stop to it.

    I would have thought before that safe...

    These people only ever have missionary sex and order bland dishes from the Chinese.

    They wear beige jumpers and drive estate cars.

    They are sensible. They never learn anything because they don't make the mistakes to learn from.

    They do what they are told. Because that is safe.

    Then they die anway.

    I cant stand people who are just like everybody else. The world is filled with people who love to get p!ssed every Saturday night, who spend 10 hours watching football matches, who follow every single Kim Kardashian "update" with passion and those who think there is only one way to live a life.

    I like interesting people, the oddballs, those who have travelled far and abroad, those who are unconventional and who don't give a flying fcuk what others think of them- they are the real gems of life.

    People who sneeringly announce they have no clue who *name any universally recognizable media person* is. They usually follow that up with telling you reading fiction is a waste of time because you're not learning anything, and that's why they only ever watch documentaries too.

    I also hate the anecdoters, the one's who sit down at the table or in the pub and the first words they say are "Wait 'til I tell you this!" or "That reminds me of the time...". And that's it, you're done for. You're in for an entire night of unfunny funny stories and no one else will get a chance to speak.

    Nothing tops the New-Agers though. I've practically pee'd myself from trying to suppress that laughter/rage that only hearing about someone's Indigo child or Crystal baby can induce. The Veganazis are a walk in the park compared to the crystals and angels crowd.

    Having said that, I'm aware I'm capable of boring people into a vegetative state when I start talking about my job, or the many obscure things that fascinate me.

    People who talk constantly about "the good old days" and start nearly every sentence what comes out their boring holes with the words "remember when..."
