Subtitles.

  • I always watch with subtitles. No subtitles no watch.
  • I turn subtitles on when available but will still watch if they are unavailable
  • I turn subtitles on if there’s loud music/strong accent etc but mostly they’re off
  • I use subtitles if I don’t understand the language but never otherwise
  • No subtitles. Foreign language films need dubbing or I won’t watch

If you prefer watching with subtitles, is it because:

  • I, or a co-viewer, have a hearing difficulty
  • I have ADHD and/or autism and it helps when my attention wavers
  • I watch a great deal of movies or shows in a language I’m not fully fluent in
  • No, no, I have a totally different reason than these 3

You’re on the 3rd floor, going down to the 1st. You push the button to call the elevator. The elevator arrives and the doors open, but the display above reads “5” instead of “3.”

Do you get on the elevator?
  • Probably just a display malfunction. I get on the elevator.
  • I’m suspicious, but I still get on the elevator.
  • Screw that, I’m reporting this to building management and then taking the stairs.

You have been hired as a night watchman at a Super 8 Motel somewhere in the US Midwest. Your motel is next to a chicken farm, and the smell downwind of the bird excrement is awful. A frequent motel guest is a nutty conspiracy theorist writer who has published many books about UFOs and extraterrestrial visitations.

One night this annoying writer comes into the motel and tells you that space aliens have stolen the “8” off the Super 8 sign out front. You go out to investigate and indeed the “8” has vanished and with your flashlight you see strange footprints leading away from the sign onto that foul-smelling poultry property next door. It is your job to investigate but that irksome writer keeps prattling on about how he told you so that there were aliens and you didn’t believe and he was right and you were wrong and on and on and on.

What aspect of this situation would be most annoying?

  1. Hen doo
  2. Eight heist
  3. Author
