To want to shove the TV remote somewhere uncomfortable

[DonkeyPunch88]

Just wondering really if anyone else would get pissed off with this or whether IABU.
DH has developed a wonderful habit that irks me no end. Every time I leave the TV on or paused he switches it off again.
I can understand doing it if I'd left it on to go off and cook dinner or something as it's a waste of electric but I don't do that. I literally have just popped for a wee or to get a drink from the kitchen.
It means every time I come and sit down I have to go back through the log in and into the right app to find what I was watching rather than just press play.
I suppose it seems really trivial but it's beginning to piss me right off now. When I asked him why he keeps doing it he replied that he's worried about 'ghosting' and the paused screen being stuck on the black screen after it's turned off

I do this too when dp or I watch netflix. Screen burn is a real problem with lcd screens and we spent a lot on our tv. On a Samung it’s not a big deal - just switch on hit home and you can resume your show.

Research how long it takes a screen to burn when paused (also check your set is actually vulnerable to this).

Then tell him the results and agree that you will turn it off if you are going to be anything like that long and, in return, he is to leave it alone unless you have actively left the building.

Or get a second remote and turn his programmes off randomly and sneakily so he doesn't know what's going on

You'd need to have the same image on the screen for hours to get image persistence. It's never going to happen from leaving a TV on pause. It's only likely to happen if the TV is showing a graphic for hours.

Ours isn't a high quality screen it's one of the very first LCD TVs I think after googling the amount of time I'd have to leave it on the same image, he's just being a twat
