Ever got into situations like these?

  1. Watching an anime and your roommate, who happens to have finished the same anime, butts in now and then to reveal what happens next?

  2. Playing a video game, and the same roommate tries to teach and instruct you on how to defeat this boss, or how to go about a certain level,etc.,etc.

  3. Watching a TV series you like (aka Prison Break) and then said roomie bugs you, while u are busy concentrating on the dialogue/scene, about the plot or what happened the last episode or so.

Not really, I don't mind it that much.
In number 1, I'm probably the one revealing some stuff, but not because I had seen the anime but because I had read the manga. So I tell them before "Do you want to know what happens next?" and get a "Shut up!!" 🤣

First one happens frequently to me (excluding the roommate factor)
A friend that I got into the anime/manga
scene awhile ago often does it to me. buttt on some occasions, I ask for
spoilers. So it all works out.

I'm the one who bugs people for spoilers.

I'd go: "How did the movie/book" end?"

They tease me by not telling it to me. >:-(

EDIT: Which reminds me, I have this particular habit of reading the last pages of a book. Obviously, I usually lose interest in reading the whole book after knowing the ending. 🤢

No, never happened that, but it sometimes happens with books, more than with anime/tv show.

There are also books with a review in the rear-cover that should explain you how the book is but instead they tell you the story until almost the end -.-. Man how much I hate that!

I do something like that, though it's only when the person can't do it and I say I can only show him/her if I have the controller.

I made my sister watch Legends of the Fall... and it was right before the scene where Ormond

shoots herself and my mom walks in, two minutes before the scene... and she's like... ! DID SHE KILL HERSELF YET?

And this isn't really a spoiler... but still kind of a moment ruiner... but, yet again, I was making my other sister watch Nicholas Nickleby... and its the scene as Smike

is dying and my mom walks in, watching the scene.. and goes "ARE THEY GAY?"

And I used to do that annoying video game thing. But I stopped, when I heard myself and I was like... "Wow, I sound like a jerk" haha.

I'm a loser like that. 🙂

Same, and when i am reading something, if it goes to slow, i skip to the end to see how things work out and then finish it.

I used to also flip back and read ahead then flip backwards and
continue reading normally. When it came to spoilers, my friends
would often discuss a movie/book/manga in front of me
and I'd get pissed.

My mum often reads from the end of the book to the beginning.

my mum does the same thing...i mean reading S. King's book from end...i don't get it.

and she always bugs me for spoilers each time she founds out i've already watched a movie on TV.

i on the other hand hate spoilers, i don't even read the back covers of the book.

I have a friend who wont watch read anything without spoiling it for himself first. I get angry at him even though I'm not the one being spoiled, he usually does bug me about it though "aww c'mon let me tell you how it ends."
