A recent survey asked 2,000 people to name the most boring things about modern life . . . and listening to politicians came in first. The poll was done in England, but most of the top ten apply here too. Here’s what they came up with . . .
1. Listening to politicians.
2. Being on hold.
3. Standing in line.
4. Being stuck in traffic.
5. Watching infomercials.
6. Sitting in a waiting room.
7. Dealing with a slow Internet connection.
8. Waiting for a delivery.
9. Train delays. Which is the only one that’s a little more of a British thing.
10. Having to sit through commercials during a TV show.
The rest of the top 50 got a little more British. But watching people play video games was number 20 . . . doing your taxes was 24th . . . listening to someone tell you about a dream came in at 41 . . . and work meetings ranked 44th.
