248 - Boring activities
Doing repetitive activities for more than three or four hours is extremely boring. During them you can only think about finishing them and moving on. Dull activities are easy to identify, they are those no one wants to carry out. This is why they usually are the ones that you want to make other doing them. In Italy we say that we "throw" them to others. This is a perfect image to depict what happens: we tend to throw them like we usually do with the trash.

Questions:
- Do you really want to make other people do boring stuff? Or do you merely prefer that someone else do it? :)
- I'm not sure about the last sentence. It is just one possible solution. Note that trash isn't normally thrown in English; however it may be thrown away or discarded.
