Interuptions Are Liable To Cause Waves

I am getting fly in my old age pal , If there is a programme I am really looking forward to or my soaps I watch all the time , then I set the video and tape it even if I atching it at the same time , It is not so much hubby and Ross but my phone has a terrible habbit of ringing right in the middle of me enjoying it , So take a tip pal , keep the video at the ready and the remote handy , Saves a lot of frustration pal xxxx

I HATE when people do that! I very rarely watch tv with no distractions but you can bet when I do someone always waits til the best part to try and ask me what is going on grrrrrrrrr! I usually try and blank them out but if it is my gran I have to try and explain everything to her and by the time she is half following the plot it has finished and I don't know what is going on anymore! lol Maybe that is why I only usually watch anything with one eye and don't get too involved! xxxx

Oooohhh, you have hit a nerve!! My son is the worlds worst at this. Whenever we watch something together he constantly asks me what was just said, what has happened or that he doesn't understand. I do try to stay patient but when he goes on and on it drives me insane. If its a film or programme with adverts I do not get any peace even during the breaks. He then critcises every advert that comes on, even if its the one he criticised earlier on. I can now predict when he is going to speak and what he is going to say. Now I mute the adverts, its ashame your special remote isn't available because I would mute him too!!! Love him!!!!!

LOL - my beloved Eduardo does that all the time! He doesn't really want to know or care - he just does it because he think it's fun to wind me up.......! Luckily it doesn't happen much, as neither of us watch much TV, but one thing I do like to watch is "Neighbours" at 5.30pm (it kind of relaxes me for half an hour after a day at work), and if he's home in time he invariably starts asking me daft questions! I usually just tell him to "F*** off" (in the nicest possible way of course(!), or throw something at him! It doesn't really bother me though - in fact we usually end up laughing!!! And I can always get my own back trying to "distract" him when he's watching his beloved football - I will leave my distraction methods to your imagination, but he doesn't complain so much - LOL! I guess it's a bit of a minor, petty annoyance at times, but I wouldn't get stressed about it - life's too short:-))

I hate the phone ringing and i have to ask hubby whats happened we are both irritated, me because i've missed out on seeing whats happened him because i want to know what happened whilst i was gone lol You can guarantee i've got a drink something to munch on and i'm chilling and the phone rings HOW RUDE!! Hubby just won't budge and answer it lol one time i ignored it and my daughter was ringing both my mobile and the home phone as she was bored she also gets very grumpy because she thinks i should be here 24/7 lol

Oh I must be a really annoying git lol because I think I do that when I come to watch tv with my sister. Heheh Soory to be an annoying brat but I promise if I ever come to visit my BigBrov Wolfie I will be as quiet as a mouse lol hahha

Wolfie Darling that is the most annoying thing and I used to hate that I just used to tell the Person to be quiet while I am watching it as they normally do not watch it which is not my Problem. Then I used to ignore them if they carried on asking and if I could not hear the TV I would not turn it up

Yes I do- This happens to me all the time- by my sig. other- I swear he doesn't want to watch the show- and I get so into it from week to week- then 3 weeks into the show he will start to watch and ask questions throughout- ARGHH--- I don't mind explaining to him on breaks or after the show but not during- He is also that way with movies- It's like he is watching it with me- but doesn't get it at times- sure there are movies that I don't get either- but I don't interrupt to ask questions! he does- I now give him the "look" and he waits! lol

I think its very rude to interupt someone . I think they should either watch it or not...If they are going to stay there then they should do it quietly and show some respect....I especialy hate that when its something you cant rewind or start over and they cause you to miss it.....

You know what I HATE? When my mom or dad or both are SO interupting us watching our favorite shows. But the moment one of theirs is on we can NOT say a thing during it or they yell at us! Its like WHY can you DO IT but we CANT DO IT? This is what I hate most of all!

Sweets, just politely tell the person to wait until the show is over and you will discuss it and that if they interupt you will not see the show or have anything to discuss! I usuall say..shushhhhh...I'm missing the best part...w will talk after! Hugs

I am more likely to be the one doing the interrupting! I am always talking to the TV. I like watching films with my daughter and we talk all the way through about where we have seen the actors before, what we think will happen next, what did he say? when one of us could not hear properly. We do try and wait for a non-talking bit so we don't miss too much else and do have the benefit of a pause button. I am always interrupting her watching things by asking about what she wants for tea etc. as it is the only time I get to talk to her usually.

I don't have quite that problem since I live alone(most of the time), wolfie. I do, however, have a best friend who always tunes in late, then has to phone me to bring her up to speed on what has happened up to that point. I guess it's pretty much the same thing. I do find it annoying, but I will not allow her to hold me on the phone while the show is on.

yeah sometimes i get irritated when someone starts talking to me about something when i'm watching something. or if they start to ask what's happening and stuff, they complain they don't understand the story etc and ask me to explain what's going on or who's who..ugh. most of the times i'll quickly update them and ask them to watch the show, i'm not going to miss it! haha..

i hate to be interrupted when i am watching something good on tv. if i do manage to get interrupted i will tell the person to shut it till the programme has finished lol

Oh I know what you mean. Sometimes my hubby would just bother me when I am watching a good show but I don't bother him when he's watching a good show. I would just sometimes tell my hubby to wait til the commercial to come on then he can bother me (LOL) also when my nephew pops up every now and then and I was watching a good show and ended up missing the show. (grr)

Welcome to my world wolfie. It seems like every one around me acts the way you described. If it is a drama series, i usually do not answer them, and they catch the point. But if we are talking about a dvd movie, i usually stop the movie explain them everything, who are the charecters, who against who and so on. And then i rewind it and start seeing it with them from the begining.
