How to politely tell co-workers you are not interested in last night TV shows?

[Anonemous]

just talk about your posts on ATOT... that'll get you out of that situation

Interrupt them and start talking about that time you had sex with a chicken.

There are two really nice guys a work who would waste at least twenty minutes every morning telling me about last night TV shows or sport event. I could care less about their play by plat description on what they insist in telling me but don?t want to hurt their feelings, so how do I get them to stop?

*couldn't care less*

Isn?t having to put up with office dullards the same as going to see a chick flick with the significant other?

The office dullard doesn't usually have sex with me after forcing me to sit through the recap of "The Amazing Race."

I had someone do that to me this morning... When I said I didn't watch it, she was like "oh you Tivo'ed it." (not a question - and it's not Tivo'ed at least not to my knowledge) "you have to watch it tonight so we can talk about it tomorrow" Think I'm going to come up with something really important that takes all my time tonight. Then tell her in a couple of days that the Tivo deleted it. I could not care less about the show. Now if I was on it, it'd be different. But other people going all over the world doing stupid things isn't my idea of how to spend the little TV time I have wisely.

Edit - Just for clarity, the thing that happened this morning is they wanted to talk about the amazingly boring race or whatever it's called, not have sex.

my office talks about Survivor all the time. It gives us something besides work to talk about it, and the ones who dont watch, still take interest in it. Just because you dont like it or dont watch it, it isnt hurting anything. Stop being anti-social and at least listen to the conversation, you really learn how people react to the situations and the feelings that they take on things. Have fun, listening about the baseball game is not going to kill you.
