What topic can put you to sleep more quickly than any other?

1) Talking about people who aren't there to defend themselves. Whether it's neighbours, friends, celebrities, or people I don't know, I'm not interested in what other people are doing wrong. This goes double for conversations about other people's inferior parenting skills.

2) "Reality" television. I was briefly interested in the Amazing Race when it was actually about the race. I can't think of anything less entertaining than watching a bunch of strangers and pseudo celebrities acting like ignorant brats, except perhaps talking about it afterwards.

Hair, nails, shoes, latest fashions, etc. I'm interested in looking nice. I wear makeup and style my hair, but I get it done and don't give it a second thought. I find it incredibly boring when friends go on and on about their latest purse, manicure, etc.

I hate to read through instruction manuals...even for board games. I lose interest real quick. I make my hubby do it.

I also find people who incessantly talk about themselves to be extremely boring. I go out of my way to avoid people like that.

Soap operas, celebrities, and gossip. Pretty much sums up politics too.

I agree with Sassyclass, I have enough in my life who cares about their drama.

I have to say sports and all of the celebrities news. Who cares.

Reading anything out of our quality manual (ISO 9001 standard). It is really a struggle to slog though even though I realize how important it is for my job and our business as a whole. Even listening to it provokes thought of what to make for dinner tonight and I wonder when the last time I watched Alf was...

Sports...including Nascar.

My favorite topics are religion and politics. (No, I'm not very popular. LOL.)

For me it is not a particular topic. It is a person who drones on and on and on about herself.

And then I did this wonderful thing...and she told me what a terrific job I did, when are you taking your vacation?(does not wait for an answer)...I am going to lala land, I bought the cutest dress! Deep sigh

*Other people's children's bathroom adventures
*Golf
*When my girlfriends go on about how I can't possibly be busy/tired/understand the stresses of their lives because I don't have kids
*People who complain about their SO all the time, but stay
