How long do you have to wait to talk spoilers for new TV shows or movies?

A new survey asked how long the ‘no spoilers’ rule should be in effect..  According to the results, you need to wait:  33 hours after a TV show airs and 10 days after a movie is released.  Which is so oddly specific that it MUST be right.  That makes sense though:  Don’t talk about a TV show episode the next day . . . wait at least a day after that.  And don’t drop spoilers about a movie until it’s been in theaters for at least two full weekends.

The survey also said ONE-THIRD of us have had a falling out with a friend or loved one for sharing a spoiler.  Half of us have seen a spoiler online.  And 8% of you are a big enough A-hole to share a major spoiler online.
