Current Events > The most boring story ever written.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between two slightly larger towns, there lived a man named Bob. Bob was an ordinary man with an ordinary job at an ordinary office. He woke up at the same time every day, brushed his teeth, ate the same bland cereal for breakfast, and headed to work in his dull, gray sedan.

At work, Bob sat in his cubicle, staring at his computer screen, typing the same mundane reports day in and day out. Occasionally, he would attend meetings that could have been emails, where his coworkers discussed trivial matters that nobody really cared about.

After a long day of staring at spreadsheets and listening to the monotonous hum of the office air conditioner, Bob would drive home in his dull, gray sedan. He would stop by the grocery store on the way and pick up the same groceries he always bought: bread, milk, eggs, and maybe a frozen dinner if he was feeling adventurous.

When he got home, Bob would heat up his dinner in the microwave, eat it in silence while watching a forgettable sitcom on TV, and then go to bed. He would lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if there was more to life than this endless cycle of monotony.

But alas, there was not. And so, Bob would drift off to sleep, knowing that tomorrow would be just like today, and the day after that, and the day after that. And thus concludes the most boring story ever told.

Still more exciting than Great Expectations

This topic was false advertising.

Was expecting something from James Joyce.

This isn't The Old Man and the Sea

I read the entire thing in the voice of the narrator from The Stanley Parable.

You absolute twinkle-span!

John Steinbeck wrote that novel.

Men of the sea? Then Tetsuya Takahashi is who you are thinking of.
