Being with this person makes even the most boring activities tolerable. Explanation: To describe something as 'like watching paint dry' is an idiomatic way to say that it is extremely boring. So this sentence is describing another person ('someone') as a person with whom that activity (and presumably by extension any boring activity) would be tolerable. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/something-is-like-watching-paint-dry |
