OK, so I've been sat in work listening to two women talk about what 'colour schemes' they have in their respective houses for nearly twenty minutes.
I mean, Jesus. Surely this conversation tops out at around four minutes? How can any person whittle on for so long about such a ridiculously mundane subject?
What conversations have you listened to recently that have made you want to gouge out your own eyes through boredom?
Well Bubba, let me tell you about how the various colours in my house make this the homiest place...

One of my former bosses would say. "Oh, can I borrow you for like, two minutes? Just two minutes."
It was 30, at the least. And most of the time she would just repeat herself. Then as I'm leaving, "oh! I forgot one thing!" ... and those were usually like five things.
I would zone out and die at the weekly meetings when she spoke.
Shauna and I would be the women having that conversation.
And me too, Shorty.
House decoration is a very important thing, Daniel. :colbert:
Men, amirite :roll2

Even worse I have to retain this information to make valid comments on the call in case the quality guys listen to it.
I think I can out-top anyone in here for horrible conversations you don't want to hear.
Sometimes I just need to sit in the same room and not say a thing to hear about every single sale and coupon used that week. It's especially good when the cashier gives her trouble. Oh no, call the fire department!Quote:

Bubba just get up and leave. I don't care if you're on the train for smurf's sake. Just get up and get off the train.
At my work I am in Quality Assurance, so I am often INVOLVED in the long boring conversations.
However, I know people have thought the same about me and a friend discussing video games while in line for food or something. I called them plebians and bragged about my $250,000K/year job.
Can you buy me a horse?Quote:
