You have to avoid discussing this anyway. This is not the 70s where you hung around the water cooler talking about yesterdays shows. The rise of the DVR meant that people did not watch shows at the same time, except maybe some sports. A few times of people shouting and beating on you with sticks means you learn to not give out spoilers the next morning.
But then the BBC and many other outlets gave massive spoilers for Game of Thrones (I think, I don't watch it) within a week of the season finale. I also saw massive spoiler for the Sixth Sense in a newspaper before it was even out on DVD. Hopefully such idiots learn not to continue do this and have gotten the appropriate set of beatings.
Now the trick is not just to go without spoilers until after the weekend (which a lot of people get caught up on stuff), but to go without spoilers for a few months or a year. For me I find it's not friends I avoid, since we don't watch the same shows, but stuff on social media. But I've stopped googling stuff about Walking Dead and Doctor who so they're now showing up on Google+ anymore in their "stuff you don't want to see but that we think is hot" entries.
