Here I go: ‘Watching people who feel bored is very frustrating’/ Watching other people’s boredom is very frustrating.

What would you say @Arinker, @NearlyNapping, @Torsten.

Thank you in advance.

I think these are acceptable, but here are some suggestions:
“Watching people who are bored is very frustrating.”
“Watching bored people is very frustrating.”

I’m not sure why you say frustrating.
“Watching bored people is very frustrating - they don’t do anything.”
“Watching bored people is boring.”

Thanks for your reply Arinker.

Instead of using ‘frustrating’, I should have used ‘annoying’ or so, but that’s not quite correct either, I think.
