How long will you pretend to be interested in a conversation that you find painfully boring?
According to a new survey by Hidden Hearing, we'll check out within three minutes when we're bored and we'll start randomly nodding our heads and saying "Hmm" to make the other person think we're listening.
So what topics are the most likely to make us tune out?
The top 10 are:
- golf
- celebrity gossip
- veganism
- football
- fashion trends
- beauty trends
- the stock market
- online dating
- cars
- hair styles
And a few that just missed the top 10 are:
- someone else's wedding
- mortgages
- someone else's vacation
- someone else's pets
- traffic
- climate change
- someone else's hopes and dreams
