I just spent over 2 hours with the most boring person in the world...
    #26835281 - 07/20/20 11:58 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Long story short, I just had to stand around in 90 degree heat with a mask on for 2 hours and 38 minutes. Yes, I actually timed it.


This was for my job. It wouldn't have been as bad, if the other person I had to do this with, was even remotely "normal."

I'm not asking for much. I'm not asking for a philosopher or even an interesting conversationalist.

Even a "normal" person would've had various interests, from which I can derive conversation to make the time go faster.

First, I asked him if he was excited about sports coming back. I'm highly knowledgeable about MMA, basketball, pro wrestling, and to a lesser extent football and bodybuilding.

He said, "I'm not into sports."

Okay, so if you're not into sports, I'm thinking you might be one of those super intellectual types that doesn't understand why us primitives give a shit about physical competition.

So then I ask, "Are you into books?"

Silence.

"Movies? Favorite TV shows?"

He's like, "No, I don't really watch movies and TV."

I ask if he's into video games.

"No, I don't have time for video games."

I take pride in being interested in a vast amount of diverse subjects, so surely, we can find some common ground, right?

I go, "So what are you into?"

"Cars."

Ah, fuck. The most I can ever say about a car is, "That car looks cool," or "Yeah, I wish I had a Delorean."

The other thing he was interested in, was the outdoors.

Great, I'm actually interested in getting into hunting and gun shopping. So I ask if he's into hunting.

"No, I don't hunt."

It got so bad, I started asking him if he ever takes precautions about possible predators when he goes hiking, such as wolves and bears. "Do you pack pepper spray?"

He said no, because there aren't any bears or wolves around him. Just coyotes, which aren't a threat.

I haven't been this bored by another human being in a long time. I was also severely sleep deprived, so I was on dire straits.

Are you sure he wasn't thinking the same about you?

Oh fuk no. Another cunt with a conversation by a thousand questions numbnut. Please make it stop.

Some people are happier just living in their own head. You might do well to learn to pick up on when people are in the mood to chat.

Silence is golden.

Sounds like if you were more clued up on cars it wouldn't have been so bad...

No one is really here to entertain anyone, unless it says so on the package.

Sometimes you have to look inside and consider the possibility that if you can't entertain yourself by just being alone with your thoughts in silence, you might have been the boring one all this time. :psychsplit:

If you were at work, you should have been werking. No chit chat on the clock. Get back to it!

Have you met my ex?

He's seriously the most fucking boring person in the world. You know how most people you can at least have a back and forward conversation with? Not this guy. You say something, and instead of even aknowledging or adding to it or questioning, he'll just head off into tangent land for about 45 minutes and he taaaaalks so sloooooooooow. It's like attending a lecture at uni. Sometimes I wanted to interrupt him just to ask if there will be an exam at the end and if I should be taking notes. God I could stab myself 100 times in the stomach and he still wouldn't be done talking or even notice I bled to death.

Sorry I got off track there...what was the question? :tongue:

He's not your SO. He's some random. He doesn't owe you a conversation and having things in common outside of a relationship is just a way to make small talk. Small talk is similar to talking to a child. It is the death of interesting conversation. Small talk is what you do when you don't have anything interesting to say and prefer to beat the conversation like a dead horse. Instead of blaming the other person for being a certain way, perhaps work on your own social skills. Not everyone needs to fill the silence, the types that do I usually expect them to either want something or are so airheaded that they can't live without human contact for 0.9962909710739 seconds i.e this person is needy.

They aren’t overly serious they just don’t agree with your world view that other people are objects for your entertainment.  Guy is at work and you are playing 20 questions. The whole interaction reeks of entitlement

I don't like sports at all, and if someone asks me about a team etc...I'll say, "I despise pro sports with a passion. It's like modern day gladiators and it's sickening to me the amount of money they pay the players. Why not cap the "salaries" they make at say 5 mill, then we'll see who likes to play "for the love of the game". The players are also like fucking fighting dogs to the owners. The bets and shit that goes on behind the scenes is absolutely fucking disgusting and I hate it with every single bone in my body! FUCK pro sports and every fucking thing associated with it."

They usually leave  me alone after that.
