By this time, we might be on our 10th or 20th drama series already, thanks to all the free time we have at home. While all binge-watchers can rejoice with the Movement Control Order (MCO) being extended, let’s not forget that there are other people in the house too!
In a tweet that has since gone viral, Firdaus Sukri shared how his dad dealt with these types of people, one of whom is his own wife!

While some may choose to consult their partners about their TV addiction, this dad decided to take it to extremes by sitting directly in front of the television!
Mak aku asyik tengok drama ja, ayah cakap apa dia buat tak dengar, haa kan dah takboleh tengok! Padan mukee pic.twitter.com/XhXpdZnn8f

Firdaus attached the picture of his dad blocking the TV on his tweet and wrote “My mom kept watching the drama. She acts as if she doesn’t hear what my dad is saying. See, now you can’t watch your TV!”

More than 13,000 people retweeted his tweet, mostly commenting on how cute his dad’s behaviour was!

Some even shared a similar experience with their family members who seem to have their eyes glued to the TV 24/7.

Ayah i terbalik pulak, dia yang layan drama then bila anak2 dia tersembang kuat, dia pulak yang duduk depan tv sebab tak berapa nak dengar 🤭

We hope we don’t have to resort to Firdaus’s dad method to get anyone’s attention. Let’s just remember to come back to the real world once in a while.
