Meetings at work, particularly the 'conference' type ones.
Speaker stands there with a powerpoint up, reading what I can already see, stroking their (the firms) own ego, 'talking the talk' and not tackling the issues at all
:-(

Went to one first thing Monday morning. There was no punctuation on the powerpoint, so I spent my time working out how many ways what was written could be misread.

I also noticed at least 8 spelling mistakes, the most ironic on a pie chart.
They'd spelt compassion wrong - which indicated just how important they really thought it was!

What sort of thing do you find bores you to tears? (apart from life in the Australian outback ;-) )

Personally I think football is incredibly boring. I'm not a great lover of sport in general. When the media become obsessed with something (like football) that kills it for me.
