The Most Boring

😮🤣 hmm, well, in my defense, what else have I got to talk about? Can’t go anywhere but the doctors, can’t do anything but have surgeries. Life is so darn boring right now. But that’s ok, my feelings aren’t hurt very much 😥😭

My answer wasn't directed at anyone here. I haven't found people go on and on about health issues here. I've found any health issue related posts to be focused and on point asking for experiences or advice. As someone said one can just avoid the topics they're not interested. However if someone physically talking to me I find it uncomfortable extracting myself from the conversation if they start going down that path.

My friend, there is a huge and important difference between your updates on this forum and someone catching you at the mailbox and wasting 30 minutes of your time while they bore you to tears with the details of their aches and pains. On this forum, one can read an update very quickly or ignore it, or come back later.

I tend to regard myself as on your support team, and I encourage you to continue to update us.

And by the way, your health issues are certainly not the only thing that you post about. You do provide a good support and insight to others as they deal with things that trouble them. I have learned a thing or two from you.

Sooooo, what I hear you saying is you have NOT read my posts about my medical problems where I carry on and on and on about my issues and whine and whine and whine. Hmm. Ok, I am not hurt anymore about what you originally wrote, which was not directed at me.

But, hmm, now that I know that you’re not reading all my posts, my about me posts, I might be profoundly disappointed in your lack of interest in the state of my well being, or not. 😂😂. Between rock and the hard place, you are, it’s a tight fit, isn't it? 🙄

Just kidding around, no offense meant, but, but, oh, nevermind. 😂

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the support I am getting. I am really just kidding around with asp3 now. I admit I was a bit startled at first sometimes things just strike at you, you know?-and you have to respond. But it’s all good between asp3 and me.

Pastors, especially a certain denomination, that drone on and on, with no regard for time and people that might have somewhere to be.

Well, now I want to know what denomination. 🤓. But, understand, they have to listen to the problems of all the people in their church so perhaps we should let them drone on and on. Although Catholic I have never been to confession. I’ve seen the lines. After all, why should I confess my petty sins, pretty sure I don’t want to be responsible for boring a priest to death. 😂

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!

It's easy for those of us in genealogy to get carried away! I don't remember so much about exact family details as I do things in historical context ...the main reason I love genealogy. But a lot of my family don't care at all and are happy to tell me when I get boring. My sister gets bored about anything history related, family or not. We even have a 9th great-grandfather who was a prosecutor in the Salem witch trials and she doesn't even find that interesting! She texted me this image several years ago.

I'm not a Catholic though I've been to a few services, sometimes when I used to take my daughter thirty years ago, where the big plus was any noise she might make whilst playing up during the service were completely drowned out by all the other kids welcomed there, in a very family friendly service.
I agree some of the sermons a but laboured, but I liked your point about them having had to listen to everyone else's troubles all week, and like you I'm not sure how I'd have gone on if I'd ever entered a confessional box(?). :)

Sport....... o_O yawn......... I have no interest in it whatsoever

It may be wasted on you, but for those taking an interest in it, I believe sport provides a release from everyday life, and I remember a time, as a young man, where my achievements on the rugger field, (think American football without all the padding!), was the one area of my life that gave me feelings of esteem, pleasure, love even, when all else was quite negative, and I'd retracted into my shell generally.

Still, I don't mean to criticise you, as my then wife used to think the same way, and I found a way of completely zoning her attempts at conversation out, whilst watching a big international game on the tv! :)
 
After reading the posts on here, I think every subject is boring to someone.

I listen to people talk because they have the need to talk to someone other than themselves. Especially people who are secluded in some way. My mother would call me every single day at the same time and I would dread that call. Why? She would talk about her grandchildren, even telling me what they ate and every single thing they said. I hated it. I'd give anything to hear her boring conversations now.

Sometimes it is not the subject that is boring but the way they tell it. My BIL has a whiny voice and when he starts talking he has to explain how he knew whoever is in his story, where he met them, who they were related to, their whole history before he even begins his story. I was always saying, "get to the point!"
 
Reading this brought back memories of 2 sisters that lived next door to me for many years when I lived in the city. They were both in their 70's. The older one would always tell me about whatever Guy she was dating. One time she told me about a married man she was dating. Another time she said she was dating a guy who was gay but still had the equipment! The other sister was home alone most of the time and whenever we talked she called her sister every curse word I had ever heard. They were annoying, crazy but funny.
 
I started reading this thread for ideas on how to bore my neighbor who always feels the need to stop by and chat. He's a white supremacist, and I don't want anything to do with him, so maybe instead of telling him to get the hell away from me, I can just ramble on and on about something he doesn't care about and he'll leave on his own accord.

If anyone has any suggestions, please post them. :)

Have you tried explaining why you believe differently from him regarding race? Not an argument which would likely energize him, just a calm, detached, explanation of your beliefs ...over and over and over and over... each and every time he brings the subject up.

Give him a detailed accounting of your "aches and pains." If you don't have any, borrow some of ours. Don't leave out any details and try to maintain eye contact.
