Most Boring Things That People Talk On and On and On About

Earlier today, I was stuck with this guy lecturing me about book printing. It was bloody hard not to drift off or to scream "Shutupshutupshutupshutup! " But what do people these days often drone on about? Hardly anyone drones on about book printing, that was just that guy, but there are a number of subjects that many boring people yak about mindlessly and drive you insane. Vote for what makes you go crazy.

The Top Ten

1 Sports

The single most boring topic on the planet would be sports.

"Ooh, did you see that kick last night? " "Ooh, how about that local team? "
People talk on about it for hours on end. It bores me like a drill into wood. They act like it's a matter of life and death, where, fundamentally, it's fat men kicking a ball about. - PositronWildhawk

Football talk makes me want to jump off a high rise - incredibly boring and pointless, not to mention really bad role models for kids with their spitting and aggressive faces and that's when they score a goal!

Unbearable! Pointless! These are the only things that describe it. - Epekov

2 How "Hot" People Are

I hear you, mate. In records shops and shopping malls, silly, giggly little girls going on about how "hot" a boy that's just walked by is. Really, really annoying! - Barry2013

Teenage girls, please shut up! Is everyone "hot" to you?!?! - PositronWildhawk

I had to witness this idiot talk about this girl that he apparently "loved" for 2 months straight. It was so annoying! - Minecraftcrazy530

I as a teenage girl...would not shut up. Because for me, there's no 'hot.' Where did that come from, anyway? Oh, you think that guy's hot? Fine. You wished your boyfriend was hotter than that hulabaloo over there? Okay, I'll burn him for you. If everyone's that

I'll just burn myself, I don't want to live in a world of shallow morons.


I don’t know this does not include anyone I know. But yeah that would be boring.

I just hate the obsessive haters who make not funny and outdated jokes about this guy. Just because his music is bad doesn't mean he needs to be killed. - BlueTopazIceVanilla

Enough already.
I have listen to his music for myself.
I don't see anything special about it.
It sounds like auto tune turned up to maximum

And for some reason, they're still making this joke. - Chromium

Unless your house has just been rebuilt from rubble, which is highly improbable, why would you need to go on for twenty years flat about the best way to make your sink look shiny! And I hate the ads that go "look at that shine! " - PositronWildhawk

5 Cars

I am a massive car guy myself but even I know that if you drone on about cars for too long you just see the people you talking to go into a trance and block out everything you say so I've learnt to control myself and rather talk about music or something - Danielsun182

6 Politics

Why do people go on & on & on about the government is beyond me!

It's good conversation. If you don't talk about any of these things for a while, you won't have a functioning conversation. - Songsta41

All it will do is cause an uproar, here's my opinion : who cares? We all have different opinions!

Seriously? Why would anyone want to listen for 2 hours about ABSOLUTE NONSENCE!? Unless you do politics for living, what is the dam point?

7 Fashion

You would not like my company at all. With me, it's all about the 40s - music, hair, clothes, films, values. I could talk and talk to ANYONE about my love of the 40s but there's never anyone around when I get into my stride... - Britgirl

I get so bored having to hear people talking about how their clothes look so "'50s". People go on for hours about how they look like skinny "gals" on catwalks. These people are massively tedious. - PositronWildhawk

I'm a man so I hate it

I will at least admit that there is men's fashion, and without it, people would dress a lot worse than they do. But it's already tacky as hell, and I just don't follow what the masses do. - PositronWildhawk


9 Hair

"Your hair looks good". That's a compliment. But you don't have to go on asking whether you waxed or gelled it, or where it was cut, blah, blah, blah, off to infinity! I'm not desperate to get exactly the same hair, or hair product, of that guy in the stupid magazine. - PositronWildhawk

It sometimes gets really annoying when people ask me ", did you cut your hair? ", of course I cut my hair, can't you see it? - DogsUnleashed

Some random person: Oh my God, did you cut your hair?
Me: Uh, yeah? (Thinking: Of course I cut, can't you see? ) - DogsUnleashed

10 Apple vs PC computers

You can talk about this up to a certain level. If you are willing to keep going for hours about the spinning beachball of death, nobody will care. Talk about something else, man! - PositronWildhawk

Debates are boring. The IITEM I just added is BORING.

The Contenders

11 Their Kids' Futures

My relatives are Asian and they constantly force the kids to study engineering, doctor, or some medical degree in college.

12 Football

I love Football. - PatrickStar3

I have been sat with my family for at least 30 minutes and they have talked about nothing else. Husband and two boys. All holiday they have chatted about nothing else.

Goes with sports but I do agree

14 Good Prices

MY AUNT! Every time she hears about low prices at her favorite stores she always drives all of the way over to my house just so her and my mom can run their mouths about it for hours.

An advantage, I know, but you don't have to tell everyone for half an hour on end! - PositronWildhawk

15 Zootopia
16 Food

What the promblem no one I mean no one cares about the food you had NO ONE CARES GO TALK ABOUT SOMETHIN ELSE

17 Heavy Metal

Hey Jeffery0206, I thought you left! - Songsta41

What's wrong with talking about talent? - Nightfire

You knew pop fans would put this on here.

18 Fictional Creatures

Although I like LOTR and Godzilla etc, there is a point where enough is enough. Do we really have to talk about the zombie apocalypse every day? And when I have to listen to teen guys droning non-stop about all the aliens and creatures they've encountered and beaten in their video games I can feel my eyes glaze. It's great they're enthusiastic, but can't it be about REAL things?!

How weird do you have to be if you constantly debate whether or not a vampire can kill a zombie?!?! Two words: WHO CARES?!? - PositronWildhawk

Countless videos on Goku vs Superman on YouTube and fans debate about it on various forums. Which is just absolutely pointless. - Kiteretsunu

What this is awesome

19 Hip Hop
20 Superheroes

I feel sorry for all of those saps who waste hours online saying how there's no way that Superman could beat Batman in a fight. Seriously, people, what is the point? - PositronWildhawk

21 God and Jesus

It's annoying to all of the atheists out there who don't really want to hear about how they should let themselves be saved or face eternal damnation.

God and Jesus are awesome video games superheroes and fictional characters are awesome too whoever put those sucks

Geez I don't understand people these days. It is RIGHT to talk about God and Jesus because it is not a meaningless topic.

Who put this? God and Jesus are not boring. - Therandom

22 New iPhone

I don't care if you got the iPhone X and it's so awesome...It's gonna go downhill one day...

23 Kids

24 Video Games

Ah, well mine never shuts up. Unbelievably annoying. - PositronWildhawk

This is all some people ever talk about

Oh man, I know, right?!?! So annoying!

Annoying, on and on and on do they EVER think about other IMPORTANT things?

25 Work

My mother seems to think the only thing worth talking about is her day at work, other people have days at work too, but they don't go on and on and on about them.

26 Global Warming
27 Virginity

It's a word to drscrib4e things

28 Piercings

People talk for tens of minutes on end sometimes about this. Very weird. And no, piercings below the equator are not pleasant. Neither are ones all over your face. - PositronWildhawk

29 TV Adverts

My main theory of advertising is that ads are either funny, weird or creepy. - PositronWildhawk

Has anyone noticed that T.V. adverts are getting longer and more boring - the window advert buy one get one free makes me want to commit violence!


30 There Own New Expensive Thing
31 Pets

I mean, jeez, how many times has your cat sat on you? Oh wait, I don't care.

Yea, that happened to me once... - funnyuser

32 Birthdays

My birthdays are underrated as hell. My relatives ALWAYS talks about each others' birthdays but NEVER mine.

Having being told when every single one of someone's family was born, and where. Like someone asks when is YOUR Birthday? They say stuff like "Oh, my Aunt Daisy was born in your month too." Then they drag you into listening to their relatives Birth Dates, sometimes with historical boring facts. And the whole time, they asked you only one question, "When is your Birthday? Worse when they have had a drink or two.

33 Arthur

LOL that's my cousin's name!

The Cartoon Arthur. - PatrickStar3

Who's this

34 Weight

My relatives do this a to.

Look, my weight is none of your business, OK? >:(

35 Weather

You know the two of you have nothing in common if THIS is what you choose to talk about.

Because they have nothing else to talk about

36 Gross Humor

That’s messed up

My parents and relatives are Asian and whenever they talk about little kids they always talk about their diapers, butts, pee, poop, penises, vaginas, etc.


37 Tattoos

This is all my boyfriend ever talks about!
