Liking something but never watching/using/doing it
I think a lot of people have this type of thing, but for me it's more extreme. There are a lot of things that I enjoy that I rarely do for whatever reason, even though it's easily possible.
For example, when I was in junior high and high school I really liked the X-files every time I watched it. I probably watched 5 or 6 episodes and thought all of them were excellent. There is no particular reason why I didn't watch more since I really liked those episodes I watched but somehow I didn't ever get around to watching it. Currently The Office is like that for me. I have seen about 4 or 5 episodes and was cracking up most of the time. I'm sure I even missed out on some running jokes or things that are more funny if you follow it but I still like the show. I have a DVR so there isn't any particular reason for me to not watch this show when I watch other stuff. There are a few restaurants near my department that I go to quite infrequently and think every time "I should come here more often, this is great." They aren't any more expensive than the other places I go to more often and they are basically just as close. Anybody else do this or have any insight as to why people do this? |

Laziness? [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure that's part of it but there seems to be more to it. Take the restaurant example. Say for lunch I go to Subway a lot. There are other options the same distance away that I prefer every time I go to them, but yet when I'm thinking about where to eat I'll usually think Subway first unless something reminds me about one of the other places. |

I was like this with every tv show. Until they came out with DVR and shows on DVD. And HBO on demand. And iTunes where I can now buy the shows.
