    I don’t get it.
    She wants to get married, but apparently men constantly show videos on their phones, which she doesn’t want.

    Is that a thing? Maybe I don’t know enough guys? The only person insisting on showing me videos on their phone is my wife so…

    Or maybe she thinks it’s an SO thing. I guess that would make more sense, now I think about it. For sure, my wife is the only person I tolerate this nonsense from.

      It’s an exaggeration. A joke. People often force their favorite videos on other people and it sucks.

          Yeah same. We love showing each other videos, but to be fair we’re the attached at the hip type.

            I also love sharing videos. But this is about the person that’s absolutely obnoxious about it and keeps showing you videos without realizing that the other person isn’t really interested.

            I usually send the videos I want to share via messenger app. Then everybody can watch them when they want. And from their reaction I can read what kind of videos we both appreciate.

            I do share videos in person, mostly when they are absolutely on topic and showing the video does not interrupt the conversation.

        I only just realised, but some of my younger colleagues really do love sharing videos, now that I think about it. Their ref game is strong and if you so much as hint that you might not get it, bam! it’s video time for the whole office.

        I dunno, I’m old enough to have read the book about memes before it was even a word on the Net, so it might be a generation thing, but I don’t care much for videos. Even gifs break my balls with the looping. I’d just have a nice pic if text isn’t enough. But I’m the kind of person that will happily write pikachu_face.jpg and expect you to get and not force you to read the KnowYourMeme page on it, so I find the forced video watching a bit… like explaining the joke. It kinda kills the mood.
