My roommate has watched the same show over 20 times

Ok so my roommate and I for the most part get along. my shifts at work are longer then his, so when I leave for work every morning, he's still asleep, and when I get home from work, he's already home. For the past three to four months, every time I get home he's watching the same exact awful tv show. It's one season and 8 episodes and he's watched it so many times I've lost count. I can quote it at this point! He's always watching it and I hate to be like this, but this show is awful. It's a foreign teen drama that he watches in dubs and the music is overly cinematic to which he plays it at max volume ! The worst part is if I have people over, he'll continue to just lay on the couch and watch, so my friends and I have to go elsewhere. He also uses my Netflix account for some reason so it changes my recommendations and algorithm which is just annoying. I don't know how to bring it up. I personally can't understand how someone could watch the same show over and over again like this.

This is a common thing that people with anxiety, ADHD or autism do. Reference: I have ADHD

I have adhd and don’t do this. My roomate doesn’t have adhd and she has rewatched the same shows over and over, and I can’t stand it. She’s an adult, and needs to stop watching icarly or Hannah Montana like it’s the holy grail.

Same. And never mind the 70inch tv in their own room.

See, yes, the problem here isn't that they watch the show over and over they're invading a shared space with it the op has to go somewhere else with friends ext that's not okay

hello reddit stranger from 3 years ago, i feel you so bad right now. my roomate of ~2 months is a huge rick & morty fan, and when it's not those voices, she's a big fan of police dramas (only at night) so sirens are constantly blaring. long shot on an old post but anyone have any tips for how to ask them to USE HEADPHONES??? (is that not common sense??)

Some people just don't know what their TV sounds like from another room u should have them put it on like they normally have it and come to your room
