I saw a guy in a coffee shop in Boise watching a show on his laptop with the subtitles on, but he was also wearing noise-canceling headphones.

He was so into it he didn't notice me laughing when a character on screen yelled 'Look out!' right as he jumped and spilled his drink. Anyone else have a weird public binge-watching story?

Last summer at the Denver airport, I watched a guy on the tram completely absorbed in a baking show with headphones on. He was miming the kneading motions with his free hand and didn't realize he was slowly drifting into a group of tourists. The synchronized flinch when he finally bumped into someone was perfect. It's amazing how people can just check out of the real world like that. I almost missed my gate because I was waiting to see if he'd start the pretend icing swirl.

Saw a study on that, @wilson.anthony. Total immersion.
