Conditioned reflex

[Tortuga]

I have developed a new conditioned reflex, whenever Trump, any political figure or picture shows up on the news, my hand automatically hits the pause or fast forward button.  Weird....

This is similar to my reflex reaction when  I accidentally start the video on my ipad from my seat. Unfortunatly my reflexs are not as swift as they used to be and fumbling with my tablet gathers great attention from others. The only other option is so sit there quietly, avoiding any quick movement, which will cause all those close by to think it is their tablet they are hearing, during their mad scramble to corral their ipad , I can very subtly turn mine off. 

 

 

(Subtly: a clever and indirect way, in order to achieve something.)

If the iPad has an earphone jack, use an old earplug plug sans wire...

I think that is an excellant idea. Will I use it? Not likely because I don't need it,  I know I will never make that mistake again...again...again...
