bored to distraction

Extremely bored, especially to the point of distraction, frustration, or irritation. I was bored to distraction listening to that lecture this afternoon. We thought a week in a secluded cabin with no TV or Internet would make for some great family bonding, but we all became bored to distraction after a couple of days. A: "Sorry for dozing off, but I just get bored to distraction watching these old-timey movies." B: "Fine, go back to sleep then."
