Which US states are so boring you forget they exist? Determining the dullest states isn't easy, as boredom is subjective and many factors come into play. Is it about the ugliest states, the most embarrassing, or the worst places to live? Maybe it's the states where dogs are most likely to kill you. The answer isn't in statistics, but in votes. Vote up the states that bore you more than waiting for water to boil. As fellow citizens vote, a mix of opinions, feelings, and unverified claims emerges, based on Americans' experiences and worldviews. So vote with your heart and call out every state that's ever bored you.
