Boredom: An Endlessly Flowing Fountain of Words

Daily writing prompt

What bores you?

View all responses

What bores me? People who feel compelled to say everything, speak all the words, ignore other people’s strained expressions, and ignore the enormous disparity between how long they are talking and how long other people talk.

I love a good story. A great summary of an important event is terrific. Critical insight on a pressing problem, so helpful. Giving credit to others, always a winner. A joke, bless you.

Self-indulgent running on at the mouth – boring beyond human comprehension, a waste of people’s time and patience, and a burden to everyone.

Not that I have strong feelings about it, though. I’ve said enough.
