Swearing at the telly

Thanks for the responses to my thread on aggression.

I’ve developed a habit of swearing at the television, it’s no joke. I find myself shouting “**** off”, Christ on a bike, or… my stock “**** me ragged”

I want to know how to stop, I’m 46 and usually reasonably mature. It’s upsetting my family and I worry for the future, especially communal television situations.

just don't watch stuff that annoys you, do something else, go for a walk with the family etc instead
 
I do it all the time. Although it's nothing compared to when I had a dashcam fitted.

I had to turn the audio off as everytime I played back a recording it's just me swearing. I'd say 90% of the time at cyclists or middle lane hoggers. Heaven forbid the day I accidentally hit someone and had to use those recordings as evidence to prove that it wasn't my fault😂
 
I swear at the news on TV an awful lot.

Illustrating a news story with generic footage; such as the energy crisis by showing footage of a kettle boiling.
Reporters taling slowly and emphasising every other word - it sounds weird.
Stories which start: "A recent survey has revelaed ...." It's generally not news at all.
That smarmy bloke from the ITV evening news with the really weird delivery.

I'm old.
 
I was Swearing at fuckwitts from Bishop Auckland the other day, including one woman who ran a tea shop who said “well…Boris has had one thing after another to deal with, hasn’t he”
Stupid fookin woman!
 
I find myself swearing at talksport in the car all the time. Usually Trevor Sinclair being backward or Jim White interrupting someone, again.
 
My Dad is a pro at this, primarily watching the news at 6pm on a tea time. I keep telling him to switch over but hes a menace and doesn't.

Never got the habit myself.
 
I used to swear at the telly quite a bit but then came up with the genius idea of switching it off. I only watch stuff I specifically want to catch, most days it stays off. Life is infinitely nicer.

I still swear at the telly, even on shows I really like. Am a big fan of quiz shows and frequently swear at the TV when The Chase is on.

Old re-runs of The Crystal Maze too, love it. But always end up yelling "FFS lock the thick fkkkker in, they've got no chance that daft ****"
