The Most Boring

We were dining at our favorite restaurant, and two couples were sitting near us. The men apparently just finished a round of golf, and they were discussing their game, hole by hole.
As we were leaving, I turned to my wife and said, "The only thing more boring than watching golf on TV is to sit in a restaurant and have to listen to someone talking about their golf game"

You can of course try to perfect the technique of allowing the sound to go in one ear and out of the other one, though it doesn't work too well if the voice is particularly annoying, or monotonous ironically, (I've tried with you know who, but a nice sweet female voice is another thing altogether, I can pretend to listen for hours without it bothering me ;):giggle:!).

We actually have one guy that annoys me so badly to listen to that he aggravates my anxiety to the point I want to throw crap at him or knock him out with a fry pan. When he's back there cooking with me I have to put earplugs in to ease the strain because no one will tell him to shut his pie hole. LOL
 
Had not considered that: wearing a mask gives you all kind of opportunities to smirk, stick out your tongue, (a little bit)
be inscrutable ...
Ah, to heck with it, your wearing a mask you can knock him silly and tell police, "Don't know who did it, he had a mask on."
 
A neighbor of mine, who is gone now (RIP), used to corner me out in my yard and go on and on and on about relatives of hers and what they did years and years ago. I'd let her go on as long as I could stand it and then suddenly remember it was time to feed my dogs or that I had left the fire on under the teakettle. She was very old and not a little bit senile and would juxtapose years and people to such an extent it made no sense at all even if I had known any of the people. I think I was the only one in the neighborhood who would listen to her at all, but I felt sorry for her, even if she did think one of her uncles was an astronaut who had gone to the moon with Gen.Patton during WWII.

I had to laugh about going to the moon, with Patton no less, but the poor thing.... Bless you for giving her a kind ear.
 
Love the response to this thread; you all are the greatest, great answers! :D

Okay, as promised...oh, but wait: first, here's my pick for the most boring thing to listen to: somebody telling me what they dreamt last night...yawn. A close second? Their genealogy or family history; a gal I worked with was telling me that she found out that an ancestor was a Pony Express rider; so at first I was interested and then she started telling me about who he married and how many kids he had...yawn!

Now finally, the study found that the thing that bores people the most for other people to talk about is about the book they're reading (or a book they have read or a book they want to read). Even people who liked to read themselves said that was the most boring thing. That surprised me; if that's the case with so many people that why are there so many book clubs, both face2face and online? And I noticed no one on here replied with that answer. I just found that study's findings kind of odd. Anyway, thanks for all the great replies and now, back to my book. šŸ¤“

Where would we have been if Joseph hadn't explained the pharaoh's dream, all stuck in Egypt perhaps without any corn, and no amazing dream coat musical to follow?! :)
