… on my iPhone with earbuds in, while on the elipticals. I guess I should have thought about it a bit more, specifically, about how unashamedly booberiffic and borderline softcore the show is, because what do you know, x and y rip off their t-shirts and… gah.
I hope the next person over didn’t notice, because if s/he did, well… damn. cringe
If you were in my situation, what would you do? Switch to another show? Pretend there’s nothing going on?
I just flipped the iPhone over until the moaning stopped. Haven’t gone back to the gym since, but I’m pondering what to do in the meantime.
I’d pick a different show next time I was at the gym. I’ve watched movies on my laptop in airplanes but I make sure I don’t pick anything that’s graphically violent or contains a lot of sex.
Yeah, I got embarrassed when I was watching certain parts of “True Blood” on a recent plane trip and I thought someone next to me was looking over, even though they probably weren’t.
Ha, yeah. When I flew back from Israel last year, I watched some episodes of Dexter (ones that had some pretty explicit sex scenes) and the film “Brotherhood of the Wolf.” I kept hoping the flight attendant wouldn’t come by right in the middle of some graphic scene.
I doubt someone next to you would have had a good view of an iPhone though, unless they were actively trying to look.
I think if someone is staring at your iPhone, that’s their problem. Those things are so small and unobtrusive, you’d have to really make an effort to stare.
I just had a similar experience on Northwest Airlines. They offer in-flight movies and I started watching Sunshine Cleaning…and got to to a topless part (at least it looked like she was). I stopped the movie quickly as I wasn’t sure if that was kosher…even though it was provided by the airline itself.
I agree that if someone is looking at your iPhone closely enough to see what you’re watching when you’re listening via earbuds and no tell-tale moaning or something is there to catch their attention, then they’re officially minding your business, not their own, and if they don’t like what they see, that’s their own fault.
