Harry and Meghan listed as among most boring things in life

The 40 most boring things in life include hearing about Harry and Meghan, accepting ‘cookies’ online - and Kanye West.

A study of 2,000 adults found having to endure periods without Wi-Fi is considered the single most tedious thing in modern life.

Coronavirus press conferences and video adverts you cannot skip also made the top five - along with waiting for websites to load.

Four in 10 of those polled said their life is currently ‘quite boring’ or ‘very boring’ - but 72 per cent intend to make a concerted effort to have ‘more fun’ this year.

The research, commissioned by Jet2holidays, found half of adults intend to liven things up by going on vacation - and they're planning an average of two getaways.

A spokesperson said: "There are plenty of aspects of our lives which we find mind-numbing and boring and the last two years have certainly not helped.

“But we hope the findings will inspire people to go out and up their fun quotas - there is a whole world of fun out there just waiting to be explored.”
