What IS it with men and remote controls????  | |  On a typical evening at my house I sit at the computer, reading an e-book, or IMing with friends, doing a bit of MyLoting. I am fairly good at shutting out background noises but-----------the one thing I can't seem to shut out is the T.V. when the channel changes. I am not bothered by the regular program interruptions for commercials. It is that channel changes grab my attention. I have heard other women say the same thing, its that switching and switching that drives them nuts. Has any man ever watched a whole program, from start to finish, since the invention of the remote???

Most of the time in my parents house it is my mum who has the remote and in my house the kdis watch tv far more than me.

| | | 2. magikrose (4951) | 3 years ago |  That is when I tell my husband to check out the guide. Our cable allows us to view what is on by pushing the guide button and it will give us the show line up. Then I dont have to deal with channel surfing.

| wifeofharvey (906) | 3 years ago | LOL, we have the guide option also, but I am happiest when hubby forgets about that particular thing. He has the habit of reading them out loud, and [deliberately, I think] mispronouncing about one third of the words, most of the names, and asking what some of the words mean. | |

| | | 3. tredale (708) | 3 years ago |  This is so true, I am listing to my hubby changing channels now as I type. Irrratating really its even worse if you are sitting there watching a program with them. I get so mad. My hubby chases the news around the tv even if hes just watched on one channnel he will change to catch the other channel it drives me nuts. I have considered hiding the dam. Just glad we dont have foxtel or something we would be watching news 24/7. click click click

| wifeofharvey (906) | 3 years ago | Around here it's the weather channel! With the satellite he can look at the individual forecasts for the area's of almost everyone we know. I could really live quite happily without knowing that my daughter is going to get about 3 inches of snow, or whatever. | |

| tredale (708) | 3 years ago | Gosh there funny lol this put a smile on my face. Are they all tarred with the same brush. I threatened mine after reading this the next man I marry will have to have no hands, so there will be no annoying remote issues. | |

| | | 4. lexus54 (2665) | 3 years ago |  People who keep changing TV channels when it is not due to commercial breaks are really not serious in watching a particular show. They just want to be entertained while they are seated in front of the TV, and any channel that captures their attention will do. Yes, that can be irritating especially if they are not the only ones watching the TV. The best thing to do is to hide the remote.

| wifeofharvey (906) | 3 years ago | Hiding the remote around here doesn't work real well. We have three of them, and he is bound to find one of them. Also he mutters to himself a lot while searching for them. | |
|
|
| lexus54 (2665) | 3 years ago | Looks like you need more than one TV in the house. He watches one, and the rest watches the other...LOL. | |

| | | 6. Heavensent53 (2615) | 3 years ago | Hi wifeofharvey, As I was reading this, I was thinking "my Husband has a twin!".
He takes a nap in the afternoons, I'm on the computer. I always know when he's sleeping because THE CHANNEL DOESN"T CHANGE!!!
This drives me nuts also, I don't know why but it does.
I guess all men ARE alike:) | |
