alright twitter I have a question
-
-
...again, no one was watching.
-
I was super confused, but since I spent most of my childhood in a state of mild social bewilderment, I did not ask why this was.
-
In retrospect, that was actually super strange and I cannot account for it at all.
-
So, Twitter. Tell me what the hell happened there.
-
@sarahjeong My theory is that some households are just utterly terrified by silence. -
@jackbanh yes, but the tv ran even when no one was in the room, they turned down the volume for me but wouldn't switch it off
-
@sarahjeong That is so *weird*. Maybe they were a Neilsen family and this was all part of some scheme where they had to log enough hours. -
I seriously got the vibe that it was an obligation to have the tv on, not that people liked it

@sarahjeong do you still know/talk to this person? If this was part of their household ritual then they should remember why they did it -
@Yuecake we've lost touch! this was something like 20 years ago and we both moved houses and schools multiple times since

@sarahjeong My husband family will often have a movie running in the background of conversations. Makes it hard to concentrate on either one -
@sarahjeong I can't stand having the TV on if no one is actively watching it. If we're at home, I will try to turn it off each time.

@sarahjeong could there have been a history of abuse, like the dad or something, who might have demanded to always have the tv on?Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer
