What is the origin of the idiom "bore someone to tears" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "bore someone to tears" is rooted in the figurative use of the word "bore," meaning to cause someone to feel bored or uninterested. The addition of "to tears" or "to death" intensifies the notion of extreme boredom, emphasizing the extent to which the person is disinterested. The phrase is mostly used to suggest that the subject or activity being discussed or experienced is so dull, unexciting, or tedious that it elicits a strong emotional response of weariness or even a desire for it to end.
