The obligation one has to watch a particular TV series or
movie after it was recommended by a friend, colleague or family member.
The victim of Recommendation Obligation feels a sense of guilt and anxiety which is only relieved by watching the entire movie or TV series.
NOTE: Social etiquette dictates that one
must suffix any recommendation with "but
don't feel obliged to watch it if you'
re busy or if it's not your thing or whatever".
Ohhh, I'
m so
tired, my buddy told me to watch "Gossip
Girl" so I felt Recommendation Obligation and watched every season, even though I hated it.
