What are some things that people who are watching television do during commercials? Let’s compile a numbered list, I’ll start:

 

1. Channel-surf
2. Raid the refrigerator, pig out 
3. Discuss the last scene(s) they’ve seen or speculate about the upcoming scene(s) that they will see

    17. Watch the commercials because they are too lazy to get up or reach for the remote.

    1718. Fast forward

    (Although some of those answers are repeats, so I don't think 1718 is the correct number on the list). This post was edited by SavvyAnsley at December 14, 2020 8:35 AM MST

      (Good point. They’ll argue that I didn’t state whether or not answers could be repeated and still count. Heck, you can see how hard it is for some folks to number their entries correctly, or for others to number theirs at all.  The next time I post a question in this fashion, I’ll specify that the count should only carry on for non-duplicated answers.)

    I corrected my entry, although it appears that Stu and I posted at the same exact time. Mine appears below his, so I feel better about it. Slightly better, anyway.

      Hold on, what’s this about you being under Stu and not complaining about it? You turn me down left and right! Ok, what does Stu supposedly have that I don’t have? Grrrrrrr.

      Hey, wait, “37”?

    Actually, for about the past two decades, muting the volume during commercials has been my habit. You’ve just earned Asker’s Pick!

    I was guessing with the 37.  Who can stand to hear commercials?!   
    At least they are no longer allowed to have increased volume when bringing commercials to you.  :)
