Woman Without Time to Watch Full Movie on Netflix Just Watches 4 Hours of a TV Show Instead

Falling into her couch with a bag of chips in hand, Blue Rock woman Jessica Peterson starts up Netflix and searches for something to put on. She opens the chips, puts her feet up on the coffee table, and carefully weighs her options while debating how much time she should devote to relaxing.

Not wanting to commit an hour and a half toward an entire movie, the 21-year-old winds up binge-watching four hours of Friends instead.

“I didn’t want to be lazy and spend that much time viewing a full movie so I figured I’d just watch a TV show that’s shorter,” said Peterson before watching 8 back-to-back episodes of her favorite 90s sitcom. “And then I wound up not getting any of my shit done.”

After her first episode had finished, Peterson said she hesitated a few moments, unsure of what to do before the next episode began to autoplay.

“And then, I wasn’t going to fight it,” she said explaining her reasoning. “It started playing before I could find the remote anyway.”

“And then that happened 7 more times,” she added.

The avid Netflix user says that ultimately, she still feels proud of the decision she made and that having the discipline to hold off on watching a movie is an important aspect of being a productive person.

Peterson managed to avoid watching a ninth consecutive episode by falling asleep on the couch.
