Do People In Your Household Talk Over Tv Programs You Are Trying To Watch?

[dave50]

When I am watching a crime drama for example I like to watch in complete silence so I can hear every word and get absorbed into it. I find it irritating if someone who is watching it with me talks over it, even if making a comment about what we are watching and I miss some dialogue. Anyone agree?

i gave up watching tv with others, particularly my mum as she would talk away as though it was nothing unusual, right through a programme.

[woofgang]

I figure that people are more important than TV. If its something I really want to watch then I watch it when I am alone.

[tiggerblue10]

Yes........that is why I watch everything on my own.

[emmie]

since i now live alone its not a problem.

[burlyshirley]

I live alone so it's no problem. If I have a visitor when something I want to watch is on, I simply record it. However, I have been shushed in the past when talking over a TV programme !

[ladybirder]

I talk to it, does that count?

[burlyshirley]

I do the same lb !

[emmie]

no LB, lol

No longer a problem for me, dave, as i live on my own. And my 4 'kids' know not to phone me after 9pm. If they want me to open the 'Bank of Dad', they text, instead, so that i can reply at my leisure. I have them well trained :-)

[Ken4155]

I certainly couldn't watch any of my fav drama programmes with that Gogglebox lot. I'd have to show them the door - the outside view of it, of course.

we pause it to talk.

My husband laughs at me , if something is on like a soap or even the Chase, I see stuff like wallpaper or like last night on the Chase ,a girl word a black and white very patterned blouse with a tan/ mustard suede bib and brace skirt thing, it was so not right , or the Corrie wallpaper in Fiz and Tyrones place , yes , I guess I do talk over the TV :0)

[emmie]

i can only pause it if i have recorded something or am watching on catch up..

[Spicerack]

I couldn't help giving away the endings in Whodunnits. Or muttering and moaning all the way through programmes my partners liked.
It's not the same now I'm on my own. sob

[ToraToraTora]

I never watch what is on the TV at the time, I record everything then zip through the ads. Even if something is on right now I record it and then wait 20 mins or so so I have some time in the bank for zipping through it.

[calmck]

No but the cats will sit in front of the tv so I can't see or as high up on my chest and purr very loudly

[ladybirder]

Shirley when I do my dog leaps out of his seat looking at me expectantly. Does yours do that?

[MallyJ]

I occasionally comment and get a sigh or a tut as response! He gets a dirty look back! Mind you there is so much repeated rubbish or just rubbish on tv at the moment that little is worth actually paying any attention to..IMO.

[ToraToraTora]

whenever I stand up my dog goes to guard his food bowl! I have never yet stolen his food but he still does it!

[ToraToraTora]

we often have the subtitles on because you can barely comprehend what they are saying even with the volume up.
