Pause Button OCD

This is the game given to the habit of some people of pausing TV shows or films mid-flow in order to read text that is displayed on screen.

This phenomenon wasn't very common a couple of decades ago, but the ability to pause a TV show or film and retain crystal clear quality has caused the occurrences of this to rise in number. Often the people pausing the screen will pause in the hopes of learning some extra information about what's going on or maybe see some inside jokes. While sometimes they are right, more often than not the information will add nothing to the experience.

Can be very annoying for people who just want to watch the show.

Your mom intentionally trying to sabotage your perfect bedwars experience

Me: break 6 beds and going to break last one to do the perfect game
My mom: pause the game and do the dish!

stupidity pause

That moment where you're still stopped at a green light to wait for any assholes who run the red light to clear the intersection and/or could potentially hit you

I had to take a stupidity pause today at a green light because I thought some dickhole was going to run the red light

millennial pause

when someone (specifically a millennial) starts recording, freezes for a second to make sure its recording, and then continue what they were doing. kinda like when your watching the news and it flips the camera to a news reporter overseas or something and they kind of just stand there for an awkward few seconds and then start talking.

*a video on tiktok*
"(few seconds of silence)...hey guys! so today we are going to (blah blah blah)"
*the comment section*
"lmfao not the millennial pause"
