tv watcher- "alright, let me pause this movie." ( uses pause button)
person- *tells the about their day*

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.
