Why do mice always choose to run across the room in the middle of good TV shows, never during the commercial?

Question

Can someone help me out here?

Answer 1

Hey, they want to see the show too. . .

Answer 2

in my lifetimes, I have experienced the pleasure of having mice invade my existence a few times through no fault of my own. They plan this stuff. They sit and scheme in their little mouse universes. And they wait, watching what makes you happiest. This is how they amuse themselves. Their hands are too small to work a video game properly. They cannot use the microwave to make popcorn. And they have no clue what movie to put into the dvd player. So they wait and watch. And when you look happy and comfortable, they come out to step on the little happiness some mindless television gives humans. They are evil...EVIL I tell you!!!! They are not mickey mouse, singing and dancing around in little red shorts and big white gloves. They are the devil, coveting the extra cheese on our beautiful piece of pizza. Don't ever leave it unattended. They will carry it off to their lair and laugh. They will scamper away as we try to throw an ashtray at their tiny little bodies. And they will travel through our belongings as we try to sleep through the restless night.
I am sorry. Nothing can help any of us when it comes to mice.
(if you want a serious answer, you might not like it, but here it is: you have a couple of choices. You can buy those sticky things that they run on and then stick to, but you will have to deal with a live mouse, trying to get free. They bite when trapped. You have to have gloves and my suggestion is to plop another of those sticky things on top of them, then run to the OUTSIDE garbage and throw the thing out very quickly. And the second alternative is the metal trap. You know the one. You need a pair of big old gloves for this. Pull back the trap part; hold it with one hand tightly. And put either peanut butter or a bit of sticky candy on the part that triggers the trap. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT LET A PET NEAR THIS THING. IT WILL HURT THEM. Then carefully put it down without catching your hand in it. And pray to whatever gods you worship hard. Put the trap right next to the wall. They like to walk along a perimater of the room most of the time. If you are blessed in any way, in the morning, you will have a dead mouse in the trap. Use your gloves in case it is only partly dead, and again, RUN to the outside garbage with the trap and mouse thus trapped around it. )
This might not even work. You sometimes just have to move and let them have the place. And watch how you move so you don't take them with you to the new place. It is a very tangled web. I wish you all the luck in the world. You really need it. I know. oh gods, how well I know....

Answer 3

sounds like your mice like the spotlight

Answer 4

The mouse is hoping that you are concentrating on the movie, and not paying attention to him.

Answer 5

sorry, don't have mice, but that is not good
