Death by Boredom

I've decided that engineers are some of the most boring people on earth. It's not so much what they do, someone has to do it, it's the fact they talk about it 24/7. Put two engineers in a room and they can talk for hours with the smug satisfaction of knowing that any normal people nearby won't be able to understand a word they're saying. They talk random equations, about maths with no numbers just letters, talk about axels, sprockets, wishbone suspension, computational fluid dynamic wotsits and anything with a complex name that in actual life is just a godamn spring. Put more of them in a room and the dullness is doubled. The most amazing thing is the speed at which these conversations can flare up... it literally only takes a second for an engineer to meet another likeminded geek and the jargon spills out immediatly without fail. They can blabber on about it being interesting, or "hard" thus having to question each other non stop, but it's the dullest thing on earth and sometimes I just want to sit in my lounge, or even enter my own house without hearing about the worlds most boring subject within two seconds of being there!
