Punch up "Closed Captions" on the TV remote. Read the show while the girls yak. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

I hit pause. When they stop long enough to ask what's wrong, I let them know I'm just waiting for them to finish their conversation. I get called a few choice names but, the talking stops. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I had x-MIL like that, would narrate or talk about unrelated things all through a movie. But.......... what is more mind numbing are road narraters ...... people that read aloud every freakin sign or note every business even if you're just on a road trip to the next town, "Oh look! They have a Wendy's too!" Well no shit Sherlock, there's probably 10,000 of them across the U.S.. My FIL is like that. What makes road narraters worse than TV narraters is you're stuck in the car, at least at home you can leave and go to the bar. | |||

My daughter came home to do college at home. I find it’s her and I who are crosstalking now. Drives my wife kinda nuts. Of course my excuse is my wife is playing with phone half the time anyway and we only do it during the ridiculous “reality” type shows not movies. She even dragged me into the later episodes of Tiger King. What a hot mess that was. How can’t you talk through it? | |||

There are two kinds of televised entertainment: stuff worth paying attention to, and other stuff. My advice is a) don't waste any time on the second type, and, b) if one is engaged with the first type, firmly grip the remote and bump volume as necessary to drown out any irritating noises - nearby jackhammers, chatty woolgatherers, etc. I know people who cannot bear to see a TV and not have it on. It's like an audio security blanket. They learn to talk over it, because otherwise they'd never talk. | |||

Crank the volume until they shut up or leave the room. | |||
