When a friend is watching a live, pause-able sporting event in a separate location and says he has to pause said event, you must respect the pause and not spoil what has happened until he has confirmed seeing it.
Brad: Dude, did you see that touchdown, that shit was crazy!
Mike: What the fuck asshole, I'm driving home from the store! Respect the pause, man!!!
