"Like watching paint dry" is an English-language idiom describing an activity as being particularly boring or tedious. It is believed to have originated in the United States. A similar phrase is "watching the grass grow". Media In 1959, Geoffrey Warren of the ''Los Angeles Times'' wrote that a theatrical presentation of '' The Shrike'' was "as exciting as watching paint dry". In 1969, sports announcer Red Barber warned that, due to the dominance of pitchers over batters, baseball at that time was "as exciting as watching paint dry." The expression was well known by the late 20th century and has led to real-life activities. In 2012, the World Watching Paint Dry championships were held by online trade merchants localtraders.com to promote various brands of paint. Entries were received from all over the world. In 2016, director Charlie Shackleton released a 10-hour-and-7-minute-long film of paint drying titled '' Paint Drying'' as a protest against the requirement for the Bri ...
