Nova Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ever had the feeling that a friend of yours talks with bout something that totally uninterresting. One of my friends talked for a period of time only about GTA 5. THEN I HAD IN FUCKING PRIMARY SCHOOL A CLASSMATE WHO ONLY TALKED ABOUT HARRY POTTER SMHH And in middleschool there were kool boys who only talked about football. I mostly dont listen and derp out. Happened to anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless/Nameless Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Friends? What are those? :V But, in my beautiful area of the Midwest, the most common subjects are: hunting fishing recreational vehicles Speaking as someone who doesn't go outside much, ARRERRGRGGRGRGRRRHHHHHH Edited June 23, 2016 by Endless/Nameless 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirRob Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I can't stand it when people talk about sports, politics, religion, current events, activism, culture, science, technology, cars, chores, food, art, music, literature, weather, animals, video games, movies, comics, television, cartoons, performances, history, nature, sex, themselves, me, school, work, and the internet When people start talking about those things I just get so angry and flip out at them, can't they talk about anything interesting?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 i can't stand to discuss pretty much anything for more than a couple minutes before i need a change of subject. the readings on my Attention Span-o-Meter decrease when you... -are a person i don't like or didn't want to talk to in the first place (you get 5 automatic "i'm not listening" points for that unfriendly attitude, son) -drag out a topic by saying the same thing in different ways or continuing to explain after i've gotten the point -talk about something we've already discussed without bringing up any new points -complain about things we both know you have the power to fix but won't -yammer on aimlessly about inane shit (like how nancy from church has a daughter who just had a kid and they showed up at the potato salad social and she's married now and their neighbor john recently redid his cabinets and you were thinking about getting your cabinets done but you can't decide on whether to paint them ecru or eggshell and you might go to the hardware store later to look at paint swatches and the hardware store is having a sale on refrigerators even though you aren't actually buying one) -interrupt me -ignore or brush off something i just said so you can bring up your oh-so-important topic instead -tell me all about your day, then completely change subjects without even asking me about mine (buttface) -talk about celebrities, video games, shows i don't watch, movies i haven't seen, or books i haven't read -go on about your dislike for a thing that i either enjoy or don't mind/care about and probably other stuff not saying i've never done these, myself. some of them i even do pretty frequently, i'm sure. but that's why nobody talks to me and i don't talk to nobody. it works out just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The only things I like to talk about are yiff, hemorrhoids, and my tongue piercing. All of which probably turn you people on.

Red Lion Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I don't really like small talk. Boring "how is your day/kids/work/weather" type stuff is gonna rank pretty low on things that will hold my interest. I also don't like being talked AT, when someone wants to talk about something and vent their frustrations but they don't actually want to hear what I think they just want an excuse to talk. People who keep trying to convince me that the thing I don't like is really a good thing and I'm being silly for not liking it. Especially when the thing in question is a trivial matter of personal taste ( see: pickles, gravy, spiderman, teacup versions of dogs/pigs). Spiderman is an obnoxious piece of garbage and I hate almost every iteration of him and no amount of making me give him "one more try" will ever change my mind at this point. Your boyfriend/gf is a topic I can tolerate in small bursts but people gushing on and on about their overly sugary love life is grating. Your LACK of boyfriend/gf, I can tolerate this in even smaller bursts before I get tired of hearing that you're lonely and no one likes you. People telling me they're suicidal when they don't mean it. I really can't stand that, if you're just thinking about suicide on a whim because you're kinda sad at the moment but you and I both know it's gonna pass and you'll get over it by tomorrow don't tell me you're going to kill yourself. I have had too many close calls with people who are ACTUALLY depressed to wanna waste time on false alarms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osrik Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I find it to be the worst when it is obvious that the other person doesn't actually have anything to talk about at all, but still feel the need to continually talk. I have had a few long car rides with one of these people, in which they are clearly struggling to think of anything to say (even resorting to commenting on the weather or other cars) but seem to feel that if there was silence we would both surely die... i also have this one friend who is a Halo fanatic and is always ready to talk at anyone about Halo or his scripts (which are usually poorly disguised Halo fan-fiction). I made the mistake of living with him in college, and was punished for this by being forced to listen to excerpts from his poorly written scripts quite a few times and also long rants about Halo (as I was unlucky enough to have played Halo casually at the time, so he believed I was as obsessed as he was with it). Needless to say, I have not kept in tough with him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when when I'm walking through the woods and looking at mushrooms and someone doesn't know what an ascocarp or hymenomycota is :V OP, did you honestly feel it was ever the case someone is simply interested in every subject anyone ever brings up in conversation? I'm into a lot of weird subjects, so I'm usually careful about picking a topic with certain people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarra Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I prefer interesting friends. However, colleagues at work are an entirely different matter. I've run into some very uninteresting fellows. Most of them know by now I prefer not to chat. I try to avoid them when I see them coming like pretend my phone is buzzing or escaping into a nearby elevator. It's like hearing "...at band camp" constantly when they appear. I probably stress more than they do during chance encounters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongbob Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Of course the great irony here is that most people have boring conversations because they are afraid of inking the people they are talking to. So this thread has been derailed because some people stated (perhaps sarcastically) that this thread about boring conversations was boring, and some people became inked. So the thread about boring conversations became interesting in direct contradiction of all the reasons most conversations stay boring.

evan Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 i occasionally like listening to people, but it's back and forth. like i think it just really depends on the way someone tells me about something. if it's a topic offered in a way that can be engaging, then i'm usually pretty interested, but if it's just having something told at me inconsequentially i tune out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangefox32000 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Sports. I really don't give a fuck about Football (American), basketball (not since Jordan retired for good), Hockey, or NASCAR. It's like "whoopdie fucking doo, they did a thing and you sat on your ass for three hours watching it. You want a fucking cookie?" "OMG the team won the game!!!" Why should I care? My only connection to this shit is: I have to ring out all the snacks the local sports fans buy so they can continue watching them do a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
