You’re snuggled up on the couch watching your favorite movie, and … boom! Your co-couch snuggler snags the TV remote and changes the channel. While men are more likely to be remote hogs, we should all practice a little remote control decency. Here are some etiquette rules to follow.
Compromise
Compromise is a must when it comes to the remote. You watch an episode of your favorite show and then turn the remote over to someone else. Rinse, repeat! This way, everyone gets a fair share watching what they want.
Be Considerate
When it comes to the remote, there are some things you just don’t do. For instance, don’t waste time channel surfing. Don’t change the channel when your cohort leaves the room. Don’t hog the remote or take it with you when you leave. Common courtesy goes a long way in keeping the couch peace.
If All Else Fails, DVR
Sometimes compromise isn’t possible. The good news is that you can watch all of your favorite shows whenever you went if you own a DVR. Instead of waging war over the remote, just DVR your favorites instead. With DVR, remotes are a moot issue!
