[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone staying at a place where the tv is on at all times and at full volume?  I feel I am being absolutely inundated with fake-nice daytime talk show banter and commercials for personal injury lawyers.[/quote]
My ILs never turn their 2 TVs off. Plus a police scanner.
When I first married my husband and would visit, I would turn the TVs off only for 5 minutes later to be asked who turned it off and why.
They cannot live without background noise.
It is hard for me to hear & follow conversations when there is so much background noise.[/quote]

As a guest, it’s rude to turn the TV off without asking.  
At our Thanksgiving yesterday, some of the grandparents wanted the TV off, but the younger set and other grandparents wanted to watch football.  They turned the volume down but left the game on.  All 22 guests had a great time.  Everyone was just chatting and laughing, when someone accidentally sat on the remote and the TV turned off.  In that 10 seconds, you could hear a pin drop.  😁[/quote]
