  • 15 minutes into watching latest episode of show I really enjoy when GF comes in...

    gf: "have you watched any of [other show] new series yet?" (translation: I want to watch [other show] right now instead of this)

    I play dumb and say I'm not sure where I'm up to with [other show] but can check after this is finished and see if we're on same episode.

    3 minutes later gf grabs bag of doritos and eats them noisily taking them out of the bag one by one

    me: can you tear the bag open a bit more so i can hear the telly please

    her: it's already open...

    another 3 minutes go by and in the middle of dialogue heavy scene: gf pulls out phone and starts watching internet videos with volume up

    I stop show and say fine, lets see where I'm at with [other show]... we're on different episodes

    her: let's put something else on...

    I scroll through options and she picks new show neither of us have watched before.

    20 minutes go by, she gets up and goes to start making her dinner

    i watch entire thing until show finishes

    she says: "well that was a load of shit wasn't it".

    me: *grinds teeth to dust *

  • You’re too good at playing dumb.
    Not meant as an insult, but I stopped trying that tack years ago, it only drove me mad and didn’t change anything.
