London: A British newspaper has put together a list of most boring videos on the popular website YouTube.
A video released by Her Majesty`s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on tax disclosure was claimed to be the frontrunner in drawing most yawns, according to a news daily.
A middle-aged man is seen wearing a dark suit with a red tie and poppy stands in front of a plain turquoise background, discussing the non-disclosure order.
Other partners in crime included `Watching paint dry` where the maker had "cut out the middleman and put up the real thing", the paper said.
Placed at the third position was `Wickford to Southminster` (part one) showing a "computer simulation of what it would be like to sit in the driver`s carriage of an ex-FGE Class 315 on a journey from Wickford to Southminster on a snowy day in December".
`Making an Airfix model of a Lysander` took the fourth spot, as it depicted not the building of model aeroplanes but an inventory of the parts.
Next in line was nine minutes and 53 seconds of `Watching grass grow` followed by `How to load and run a dishwasher` that gives an "in-depth look at the best way to load a standard two-tray dishwasher".
Sitting at number seven was `A washing machine does its thing` that "goes to 1,000rpm and then, in a shocking twist, up to 1,200rpm" in the nearly six minute video.
Its unsurprising sequel was `a tumble dryer` that seemingly appeared to show its "raining outside, so drying on the line is out of the question".
`Wrapping up the top 10 was `The classroom-friendly pencil sharpener` and `A cow chews the cud`` that apparently left viewers as bored as the cows themselves.
