BORE: The One-Topic Wonder

It might be the marathon, the air fryer, the crypto, the cold plunge or the dog. Whatever it is, you've dragged three unrelated conversations into it tonight.

You don't notice eyes glazing over. You take silence as a request for more detail. People have started saying "anyway!" very brightly around you, and you think it's because they're excited.

Things a BORE says

  • Funny you should say that, because…
  • You should really try it.
  • What most people don't realize is…

How to spot one

  • Has brought it up at a funeral.
  • Shows you a photo, then scrolls for more photos.
  • The group chat was renamed after their thing. It wasn't a compliment.
