How do you accidentally watch Fox News? |
|
I keep seeing people say they were just flipping through or just happened to catch part of a show on Fox news or they are forced to watch it in the breakroom, etc. If you are in your own home, how do you accidentally tune in?
It's usually said in an apologetic way the same way it comes out that "I don't watch Oprah's show, but today I saw blah blah blah..."

2. I occasionally do it for several seconds to a minute. |
|
I'll be flipping through and see a guest person saying something and listen for a short bit and then flip on. On our cable line up, CNN, CNN headline news, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC are in sequence.
Otherwise, my DH has a finger that occasionally pauses on channels.

4. Sometimes when watching unscrambled porn, and someone walks into the room, |
|
I switch it over to Fox, 'cause no one would think I was doing what I was doing while watching Fox News.

Yeah, that's the ticket! ;-)

7. Can you drive past a car accident scene and not gape? Same thing. |
|
But instead of cars it's trucks hauling fertilizer.

9. I don't think it's the same at all... |
|
I can't help it that the cars wrecked, but I don't have to get out and stare for 10 minutes.
