Do You Get Annoyed When People Talk While You Try To Watch TV? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television1 month ago

There has been many occasions where I try to listen to what is on the television but someone will either be talking to me or someone else but is being too loud. Does this happen to you?
What do you do when someone is being to loud? Tell them to shut up or keep quiet?

When I try to watch TV, when I'm reading, when I'm trying to respond to a discussion....
Usually I hope that the evil eye will work, but sometimes I ask them to be quiet.

Hi Danielle,

How are you today? hope that you are doing fine.
When I am watching the television especially on the News channel,
I would not like anybody to talk louder or want to disturb me because
of my concentration are fully on the news in the television. So I used
to tell the peoples be quite or just neglected the peoples who want me
to disturb me while watching the news channel in the television. When
you are interesting on the television for something, then we don't need
any peoples comes and makes the trouble for nothing.

Have a wonderful day.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Hello there again Binthu,
I am actually pretty good today, thank you for asking. And how are you doing? I too hope that you are doing well!:D

Very nice answer and I totally agree with you. I do not get bothered that much to be honest but there can be times when I really REALLY want to listen to something on the TV but there are things and noises around the house that disturbs me. Thank you very very much for your time and for answering. hope that you have a fantastic week and have a Happy MyLotting.

:D

definitely! i dont watch a lot of tv but when i am interested in a show and someone is talking, i get very annoyed. it is quite often my daughters because i am watching something they are not interested in like something historical or really old tv shows.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Hello there cher913,

OH MY GOD! Ok I remember when I was in grade nine. Which was like in 2006 I think. The teacher was playing this old tape on the tape recorded of the original World Of The Worlds, the radio version. ( I am sure you gathered that ) Anyways I was absolutely excited because I remember my dad told me that it caused a lot of scare to people when it was aired LOL Anyways only like 5 minutes into hearing this, the whole damn class was not interested in it. I was like the only person and because of them talking, the teacher stopped it. Was so unfair. And same with anything like documentaries and historical, the other people didn't seem interested and would talk through it all. WOW I felt left out lol.
Anyways, I am done complaining lol Thank you very very much for your time and for answering. Hope that you have a great day and Happy MyLotting.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Oops! I meant "War Of The Worlds" not "Worlds Of The Worlds" lol

If it starts bothering you, just tell yourself "They'll finish soon," and DON'T PAY THEM ANY MIND!

It's sort of like something that's been observed about Lord Jesus Christ's faith: when He told the fig tree to shrivel up and die, He didn't say, "And we're going to come back and check to make sure you're still dead"; He told it to die, and He walked away.

If YOU'RE not making noise and -not listening to anyone who is, they'll buy a clue eventually.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Good way to explain that. Although I know what you are saying, there can be more annoying times I think "they will finish soon or lower their voices"....then it gets louder LOL ahhhh! Thank you heaps for your time and for answering. Hope that you are having a great day and Happy MyLotting.

Hey Danielle,
Awwhh there's nothing more annoying that someone try to talk to you while your watching TV especially if it's something you really like to watch. Normally if someone try's to talk to me and wont get the hint that I'm busy and want to be left to what I'm doing then I'll just get up and watch it in a different room it's easier and less time consuming than having an argument then your just wasting valueable TV time lol. nice question ha


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Hello there stee09,

LOL That is a great way to deal with that. Hope that the person who was trying to talk to you doesn't follow you into the next room lol. And be bombarded with more annoying questions like, "Why Did You Leave?", "Why Didn't You Answer Me" Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda! lol Thank you heaps for your time and for answering. Hope that you are having a great day and have a Happy MyLotting.

Hi,

happythis is not a problem that I experience very often - sometimes when my wife is making a very loud 'phone call - but she lives here as well, and that is her right.

More of a problem is when someone switches the television on when we are trying to have a good, serious conversationthumbdown!


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Yeah, I do not like when that happens either. If I try and talk I mute the TV but if the other person keeps turning up the volume then that would get on my nerves. And it is nice that you have a great attitude about your wife since yeah, she lives there also. Very mature. Thank you very very much for your time and for answering. Have a great day and Happy MyLotting.

Obviously you know these people to be in the same room with them so just say "can you lower your voice, I can't hear the t.v.. But I must admit my husband will say I'm the loud one lol.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Hello there mylo,

lol Is that so? Guess it sucks to be labeled the loud one. I will have to try and speak up and ask nicely to lower their voices. I wouldn't be mean about it anyways but still, I am the type who bottles things up lol Thank you very very much for your time and for answering. Hope that you are having a great week and Have a Happy MyLotting.

Not usually no. I am at home. I also get up and tend to things like my kids when the tv is on. It only really bothers me in a movie theatre.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Ahh Ok. I haven't really experienced many people talking in a movie theater before. Well maybe once or twice. That did annoy me because they didn't seem to have respect for ALL of the people in the room. It is a public event type of thing so they should at least lower their voices or totally be quiet. Thank you very very much for your time and for answering. Have a fantastic day and Happy MyLotting.

Depends if it's a movie or tv show yes, but if it is sports then talking is part of sports.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Yeah true. Talking when sports are on TV is easily understood and depending how much you like sports, maybe screaming lol. I have seen that while people were watching Cricket. Really getting into the game. Pretty funny actually lol. Thank you heaps for your time and for answering. Hope that you have a great day and Happy MyLotting.

And who said they don't experience it? I've experience it several times before and not too often this past weeks though. As I watch the news everyday over the TV, I have to tell everybody not to make extra noises as I watch the news. Its a rule I made to all household members. My kids knows it, too. Its only a 30 or and hour news by the way and after that, all can burst into any noises they wanted to make.

When watching movie in a movie house, I hate when hearing voices. And I always make it a point to tell them no keep quite or in an annoying voice, to tell them to go outside the movie house.


myLot reputation of 96/100. DanielleA (978)   ranked 2 out of 48 in television  1 month ago

Good thing that the whole household respects how you feel about just having your time and watching the news. And also good for you for standing up for you and others in a movie house. Thank you heaps for your time and for answering. Hope that you are having a great week and have a very very Happy MyLotting.
