A Convenient Catch-all

Daily writing prompt
What bores you?

People who complain about being bored– as if an ability to sustain one’s focus on one thing at a time is somehow messed up, and it’s up to the world and other people to feed them with constant variety and excitement.

And the 24-hour news cycle, with its insipid babbling and filling of airtime with raised voices and contrived drama. It both bores and agitates me, so I don’t watch much anymore.

I think the word “bored” itself bores me sometimes, and generally gets under my skin.
