Dear Prudence,
Incredibly low stakes question here! My roommate and I watch a lot of TV together, but there are inevitably some shows we watch on our own. When I’m watching a show I know they’re not interested in and they come into the shared living room, I turn it off and find something else. When they’re watching a show they know I’m not interested in and I come into the shared living room, they keep their show on, usually until the end of the episode. What is the etiquette here? Is one of us more right than the other?
