Instead of messing with other people's things why wouldn't you just put in ear buds?

the lobby tvs are so annoying. if i'm alone for a while, i turn one off for a quiet section of the room

Or I could probably ask someone who works there to mute it for me, and it would be a non-issue (especially if it's just me in the waiting area)

But I'll just skip the middle man and mute it myself. And then unmute it when I leave or someone else walks in. It quite literally harms nobody and nobody has ever cared. If they did, I'm sure they would tell me and I would remember to bring earbuds/earplugs next time.

I think it's more convenient for everyone, both me and the employee. I don't have to bother them with something trivial, I'm not bothering anyone else. Quite literally a non-issue if you're not being a malicious little asshat

bro you are equating muting a TV put there specifically to either advertise to you, or entertain you, to opening someone's dinnerware cupboards. That's just silly.

It takes the staff 3 seconds to undo what you did and no one gives a shit.
