Quiet! Mom has a headache!

If that Excedrin commercial plays one more time, so help me, I'll...I'll...turn of the TV and go do something constructive.

Words cannot describe how much that commercial annoys me.

1. I love the mute button- I never have to listen

to commercials anymore.

[frogmarch]

2. Same here, when

I can find the remote in time.

3. AHH- I keep the remote right next to me eom

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. used to turn off commercials all the time when I had tv.

I was not one who let the tv blare unless I was watching it.
The minute I got a good computer and internet connection, I stopped watching it and eventually we just gave it away.

It is hard to watch tv now, I am so used to watching things on demand sans commercials over the internet.

8. yep

if I am trapped where there is a teevee on (freaking waiting rooms are the worst) I start feeling strange - physically! - especially when commercials come on. ugh!

10. I have been alone in waiting rooms and changed the channel from Fox, hee hee

but all too often they have the damn tvs too hgh to reach.
Really is an unpleasant experience, esp. when there are others in the waiting rooms who them try to yell to each other above the noise on the tv.

The gyn I saw last year had a big screen on the wall which showed changing pictures of flowers and meadows and etc, calm peaceful pics.
and I made it a point to compliment them for NO noisy tv in the waiting room. People in the room were very quietly talking to each other.

5. The word 'mute' is the first one to wear off of any remote in our home, LOL.

But we DVR almost everything we watch, and then fast forward past commercials these days,
so the next remote might lose the FF etchings first from now on.

6. I haven't seen that one...

I painfully remember this one from the 60's.

7. Just watching the ad would have me reaching

for the Anacin or something strong in the alcoholic beverage department. It's pretty bad all right!

I like kids who rough-house and laugh and yell when they play. I brought up three boisterous kids of my own, who brought up five of their own, who so far have two of their own, but commercials like this drive me up the wall. My kids feel the same way about them.

Since you haven't seen it, here's the soul-devouring Excedrin commercial:

11. UGH!

Now it's the kid yelling instead of the parent. I'm waiting for the day when they start showing 5 second commercials. "YOU HAVE A HEADACHE NOW! EXCEDRIN!!!!"

9. Best threat ever!
