My wife does this and it drives me crazy!
As soon as the commercials come on, she flips to another channel, so we either wind up in the middle of an episode of some other show, or (more often) another batch of commercials.
By the time we get back to the original show, it’s been running for 2-3 minutes, and we’ve missed some crucial plot element.
A POX on you channel flippers!:mad:
Tatoos. shudder You will pay and suffer pain to have ink on your body that one day you will regret?
I don’t piss on my hands, nothing to wash. Plus, my piss wouldn’t hurt you anyway.
DAMNIT lol… I was just about to post it. 
You do know that doesn’t make any sense, don’t you.
That’s why they do it.
Because no matter how much I run, how little or how well I eat or how many crunches I do, that flap of skin that is mostly stretch marks that hangs on my hipbones and C-section scar will never ever go away. I see it when I shower. I see it when I have sex. I see it when I bend over and it hangs funny.
Yeah, we may all be beautiful butterflies on the inside but I work really fucking hard on the outside and there is one piece I can’t control so if I have to take a knife to it then I damn well will.
(The anger is focused on the damned skin flap, not you.)
Yabbut, ALL of his posts qualify for that.
Thirded. I don’t understand why people feel the need to change channels if they already decided they will watch something. Are 3 minutes of non-entertainment such a an unbearable buden?
Plus, I mostly watch TV with my wife, so we use the break to talk about what we just watched.
Freak.
Mainly, because I don’t care.
And here I was going to say “People that feel an obsessive need to flip channels every time a commercial might come on”. I just don’t get it. Some people I know do this and it drives me nuts. Instead of watching one show, start to finish, with a few commercial breaks in which one can get up, go to the bathroom, make lunch, whatever, they’re actually just seeing parts of two, three, or four shows, none of which are making sense because you’re not actually seeing the whole thing start-to-finish. Plus you have to keep several “plotlines” in mind.
Abby from NCIS is not the Last Airbender who is not on CSI, who are not in the business of showing dogs. Pick a show, set the TV on it, then put the remote down. Commercials won’t kill ya.
Probably a very valid point. To you. To me, it’s something I just don’t get.
Thinking that any motive beyond pure self-interest is the ultimate act of virtue. I’m not just talking about people who delight in informing you of their three-dollar charity contributions; I’ve seen people openly brag about failing to steal money. That the average person would find abiding by their most basic beliefs noteworthy, let alone cause for self-aggrandizement, is truly mind-boggling.
-big ugly useless spoilers on piece-of-shit 1997 Hyundai hatchbacks, or whatever it is. Instead, why don’t you spend your money on repainting the front left quarter panel to match the rest of the beater?
-on the whole ‘appearance’ thing, wearing sweatpants in public, unless you’re on your way to or from the gym. When you choose the elastic waistband and gathered ankle cuffs because it’s the most comfortable thing you own, and you decide to wear it in public as clothing, you’ve given up.
-dress up as comic book characters and go to Comic-Con. Or even going to Comic-Con in the first place. All I can think of is that you just don’t have a life if you put so much energy and effort into pretending you’re a fictional character from a comic book, of all things.
-choosing to eat fast food over the many, many other better, healthier dining options. It’s one thing if you’re on the turnpike and there’s just nothing else and you have to pull over and eat something. But making McDonald’s the destination of choice for the family dinner- what the hell is wrong with you? Or repeatedly eating your lunch there instead of going somewhere else- oy.
-jackass that park straddling the line divider between two spots. And it’s usually a Hummer (don’t give me that “it doesn’t fit in a single spot” bullshit, either).
-on the reading on the hopper thing- when I’m taking a crap, I’m not working, my phone isn’t ringing, emails aren’t pinging away, and nobody’s coming to my door to ask me to look at something. It’s 5-10 private minutes that I can get lost in an interesting article while I relax and answer nature’s call. A rare moment of repose in an otherwise hectic day. If I wasn’t reading, I’d be staring at the wall.
Give their kids ridiculously trendy names (Braden, Madison, Liam), give their kids names with ridiculous spellings (Kayleigh, Cyssandruh), give their kids completely made-up names (Sheniqua, Damartay).
Eh? That is a very common spelling. In terms of Google hits, it is the most common, although that could be skewed by there being a hit song of that name.
Thought of another one… smoke. How can someone who was born in the last 30 years decide to pick up smoking as a habit? Why would anyone condition their body and mind to crave the inhalation of carcinogenic smoke from burning tar and nicotine, in the face of everything we know about it? The mind boggles.
