I don't watch too many of them. I get up and get something to eat or go to the bathroom or put away the dishes. I don't like commercials, there are way too many per show. Sometimes I check and see what's on other channels and sometimes I press mute and read my book till the commercials are over.

I am a flicking disorder. Yup, I change the channel every time a commercial comes one. :)

I use commercial breaks to get something to eat or make a bathroom trip, or switch out the laundry from washer to dryer, etc. There are only a couple of commercials I actually enjoy watching and will stay in the room to see. However, since they turn up the sound on those suckers, I still usually can hear them wherever I am. LOL

Most of them I ignore. If it's at night, I use commercials to go upstairs and check on my kids while they are sleeping. I like to make sure they are still covered. I also get something to drink or eat. I may run to the restroom or take a shower...almost anything except WATCH the commercial.

I straighten up my house. Put things in order. Sometimes, I will start doing the dishes, if there isn't many. I also like this time to pamper myself, wash my face with special facial cleansers, put n lotions. When I am lazy, I use this time to play with my cats.

Guess it all depends. Sometimes I multi-task. I may go and get a snack, use the bathroom, fold some more laundry, or clean up the kitchen. I guess it all depends on what I have
to do. I don't read much (except online) so that isn't something I do during commercials. Sometimes I just watch them. If they put one on that has music usually my daughter is dancing and singing if she knows the words.

When the commercials start playing on TV you will usually find me flipping through the channels to find something more interesting to watch until my show comes back on. Sometimes close to Christmas I watch the commercials though because there are a lot of cute ones on this time of year.

I hate commericals also. I usually mute the commericals, or go clean something.

I don't like commercials, so I don't watch them, some time I take advantage of the time while commercial are showing on tv to do something else, or just I check what's on other channels.

That is when I take the time to go and grab a snack, go to the bathroom and let the dogs out to go potty.

It depends on my energy level at the time but usually I keep something going all the time so that I am not wasting time.
I have my office at home which works great for me.
I can have something I am working on in my office and when a commercial comes on both my wife and I get up and do something.
I don't watch a lot of TV but there are times, at the end of the day, I just don't have the energy left to get up, so I see if I can learn anything from the commercials that will help me earn another stream of income.
