Restaurant TVs.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I use mine all the time. Lobby's, waiting rooms, restaurants, bars... it's really nice to have it available. Especially when it's just me, waiting in the doctor's office, and I don't wanna hear or watch whatever is on. I can just mute it and enjoy the silence, or change the channel. It's not like I'm bothering anyone else anyway, I just don't wanna listen to a Fox News opinion piece at a loud volume, if ain't nobody else is watching either

Instead of messing with other people's things why wouldn't you just put in ear buds?

the lobby tvs are so annoying. if i'm alone for a while, i turn one off for a quiet section of the room

Or I could probably ask someone who works there to mute it for me, and it would be a non-issue (especially if it's just me in the waiting area)

But I'll just skip the middle man and mute it myself. And then unmute it when I leave or someone else walks in. It quite literally harms nobody and nobody has ever cared. If they did, I'm sure they would tell me and I would remember to bring earbuds/earplugs next time.

I think it's more convenient for everyone, both me and the employee. I don't have to bother them with something trivial, I'm not bothering anyone else. Quite literally a non-issue if you're not being a malicious little asshat

bro you are equating muting a TV put there specifically to either advertise to you, or entertain you, to opening someone's dinnerware cupboards. That's just silly.

It takes the staff 3 seconds to undo what you did and no one gives a shit.
