About 98.5% of everything that's on TV.
+1 on the Old People,
sort of: the batty, jabbering, religiously insane ones that repeat the same, banal garbage over and over (e.g.: "Let me tell you about my conversion to Jesus. Again. For the 20th time.").
I actually seek out some of the more Ancient Ones among us. They know some amazing things and are living history, if they're still lucid enough. For example, I learned a lot of herbs lore when in Latvia from several wonderful old witches from the countryside. NOT bored at all!
Dinner parties and "high society" events are soul-crushing. Can't stand the empty, plastic mannequins strutting around in their pompous suits and evening jewelry. I've been to a number of diplomatic and consulate events where I'd rather rape my eyes out with a fistfull of broken glass.
There's a special little hate-box locked away in my heart for people who start lecturing me on topics on which they are illiterate and ignorant, but which I've spent 20 or 30 years studying at academic levels. It's 10,000x worse when I have to politely smile and be quiet while they blather on and on about about how their ignorance trumps the knowledge of people with multiple PhDs in the subject.
hmmmm ,,,maybe shoulda posted that last one in the
> Things that piss you off! thread ...
But, it sure bores me to death.

EDIT:
trolling stupid/indoctrinated people is only funny so many times... and I got bored doing it.
+1 on that. I didn't list it because I don't really do it anymore .. not for many, many years. ]
