Dog-eared

[asterroc]

Wednesday was my first final exam. As soon as I walked into the classroom I realized the TV on the side of the room was on. Then I looked at the screen and saw something on the screen. Yeah, I heard it before I saw it. And it was driving me NUTS! And amazingly, no one else ever notices. I have dog ears or something, I'm a freak.

I'm with you. I can always tell when a tv is on. Sometimes people turn off their cable box and not the tv, and that bugs me because I can hear that high-pitched, constant tv noise.

That's always seemed like a lazy thing to do. Especially since you're not fully acheiving the goal of ceasing all distractions - but of course, if they can't hear the TV, it won't an issue for them. I wonder whether the cable box or TV with nothing on the screen draws more electricity.
