Often it’s the ignorant coaches, or the vision-impaired referees that we are instructing.</p>
<p>All 5 of us yell. It’s the only way to watch!</p>
<p>LOL!</p>
<p>I’ve been known to yell out at a character in a movie at the theater from time to time!</p>
<p>“DON’T OPEN THE DOOR STUPID @$#%$#%!!!”</p>
<p>LOLOL</p>
<p>During sports we have like 8 guys screaming, stomping, jeering, cursing and whatnot during games. We’ve even been known to get a little rowdy.</p>
<p>Speaking of audience participation, my father grew up in a multi-cultural slum in a PA steeltown. He said that when there was a scene in a movie in which a woman was undressing behind a screen, some of the just-off-the-boat types in the theater would stand up, hoping to see over the screen.</p>
<p>This got me screaming more than anything else lately:</p>

<p>My husband can’t remain seated and stands in front of the TV and yells. His brothers and his father did the same thing. I would walk into a room and there would be four tarheels standing in front of the TV, hooting and hollering. My father-in-law is gone now but I’m glad he found so much pleasure in sports. He deserved it.</p>
<p>DH yells at the TV for sports & politics. It doesn’t matter whether or not his team’s winning or losing. If he thinks there was a bad call, he yells. If the player on his team makes a bad or dumb play, he yells. If a Republican is talking on TV, he yells. The rest of us have pretty much exiled him to the bedroom TV because we can’t stand the yelling.</p>
<p>This reminded me of when our S was a baby and twice a year H (UNC alum) would yell at the TV during the Carolina/Duke basketball games. Of course, ALL I could think of was DO NOT WAKE THE BABY!!!</p>
<p>He still has the intensity during those games and probably always will, especially now since S is a freshman at Duke.</p>
<p>My husband doesn’t but I do. </p>
<p>I also weep during sappy movies.</p>
<p>He yells.
He paces.
And then, when it’s over, has to go outside and have a catch with whatever sort of ball they were playing with in the game that day (football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse). Or hit some golf balls. Or tennis balls. </p>
<p>Our sons are not now living at home. I’m dreading football season – I do not play catch. Maybe he will recruit the dog.</p>
<p>My 83yo mother is the biggest screamer during football (Redskins) games. Her typical comment is ‘Get him, Get him, Get him’ that goes up an octave each time she says it. We laugh at her.</p>
<p>My daughter and I also yell at “Secret Life of the American Teenager.” Usually it’s, “Stupid! Stupid!” And then I yell, “How can you even watch this?”</p>
<p>Do any of them stand and put their hands on their hearts when the National Anthem comes on at the end of programming?</p>
<p>
Does that happen any more? I haven’t seen it for years–if the regular programming ends, usually there’s an infomercial.</p>
<p>We often sing along with ‘God Bless America’ during the 7th inning stretch of Yankees home games.</p>
<p>Our family of 4, plus the dog plus the pregnant guinea pig were crammed into a “pet friendly hotel room off the interstate,” on our annual “30 hour lets do it in 2 days” trek to the lakehouse. Though we really wanted to watch the Celtics playoff game, DH and I passed out as soon as our heads hit the pillow. I awoke a couple of hours later to DS2 running around the room, jumping up and down, pumping his clenched fist, a mouthing a wild victory yell, without a sound coming out of his mouth. He couldn’t contain his excitement, but he was trying to be considerate.</p>
<p>Well, I know next Thursday I will hear my daughter all the way from Boston yelling at the TV if the president’s address to Congress interrupts the airing of the Packers home opener at Lambeau Field, where H will be!</p>
<p>Oh, yes. We both do! :)</p>
<p>And college football starts in just under an hour and a half!!! Let the cheering begin! :)</p>
<p>churchmusicmom, this is the day I’ve been awaiting since January. Aaaahhhh, football ! Life is, once again, good.</p>
<p>I want to smack him…he COACHES at the players on tv or in live events.</p>
<p>he’s an amateur-- he keeps trying to tell the players what to do… Famous outstanding athletes being screamed at from my H in our family room. URGHHH_- even the kids tell him to be quiet!</p>
<p>Given that he’s 50 pounds overweight with bad knees and doesn’t do anything physical other than take out the garbage-- it’s time for him to really shut up! (ok that wasn’t nice)</p>
