To not want to watch someone vomiting on TV while I eat my tea?

Last nights Enders had someone throwing up in it. This is before 8pm so not an unreasonable time to eat my tea.

Yes I am pathetic :o I can't help having a weak stomach and a strong gag reflex!

I just don't think its necessary, you can imply it with showing it.

YANBU I am in total agreement.

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 06/06/2014 10:26

Who was it? I watched EE last night but dont remember this bit.

Sorry it ruined your tea!

BuzzardBird · 06/06/2014 10:29

You were eating your 'tea' in front of the TV?! Grin

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 06/06/2014 10:32

YANBU. Seeing someone vomit - whether in real life or on TV - makes me feel incredibly nauseous myself. I wouldn't want to see it while eating my tea either!

Lauren83 · 06/06/2014 10:44

I hate this on tv, I have emetophobia (fear of vomiting) and gratuitous vomiting scenes cause me no end of anxiety, its a minefield out there

I did have 3 years of therapy and im better than I was but still...

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 06/06/2014 10:45

Oh tina! I remember the aftermath with the girlfirend sulking in the pub but didnt see the vomitting

Mrsjayy · 06/06/2014 10:46

My husband has that lauren I couldnt watch casualty if he was is least you know vomit is going to be in that

Mrsjayy · 06/06/2014 10:47

Oh is that her name I couldnt remember

Lauren83 · 06/06/2014 11:20

Horrible phobia, part of the therapy was watching videos Mrsjayy so I'm not too bad now with pretend vomiting in soaps etc but with real stuff like reality or hospital shows I can't do it

AryaOfHouseSnark · 06/06/2014 11:23

Yuck, yanbu. Tbh the vomiting really wouldn't bother me, what used to was the fucking pedegg adverts. Especially if I was eating something with Parmesan on it. [shudders]

Mrsjayy · 06/06/2014 11:24

Oh that sounds grim least you are better than you were, dh had a stomach bug a few weeks ago and the thought of being sick made him worse

Mrsjayy · 06/06/2014 11:26

Oh god im foot phobic pedegg is stuff of nightmares and curanail urgh itv 2 was sponsored by corn plastersfor a while I had to switch over at evety advert

AryaOfHouseSnark · 06/06/2014 12:02

Oh yes, that bloody curanail advert, I used to switch over too, it was too much.

Lauren83 · 06/06/2014 12:03

Bet it was horrible for him, luckily I haven't been sick since I was 9, I'm 30 now!

GoblinLittleOwl · 06/06/2014 12:08

Try turning the television off while you eat a meal?

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 06/06/2014 12:26

Try turning the television off while you eat a meal?

Why?

Mrsjayy · 06/06/2014 12:43

Wasnt great Lauren hes never sick usually

Mrsjayy · 06/06/2014 12:43

Even in animation form feet and yellow nails are ming ing

Artandco · 06/06/2014 12:45

Turn TV off? How can it be relaxing to eat on sofa? Spilling food, controlling kids food etc.

My white sofa would be orange!

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 06/06/2014 12:47

Friday night is always sofa night for us (and always has been from i was a child.) my dcs have been doing it since they were babies and no orange sofa's. trick is to have food that arent spillable or stain likely.

LittleMisslikestobebythesea · 06/06/2014 13:07

Our table is in the lounge by the way (tiny kitchen, but big lounge) but occasionally eat on the sofa (leather so easily wipe able, and laminate floor!)

Yes I can't stand the ped egg advert either. I once knocked my MIL's off the shower tray by mistake, it opened up and all the skin came out. I feel ill just thinking about it!
