Do you have a lot of pauses when you're watching a movie? Does it anoy you to watch with some who wants a lot of pauses?    I rarely pause, unless I get a phone call or someone comes to the door.   I don't even usually pause when I have to run to the bathroom because I've usually at least seen it before and I can at least still hear it.       And yes it does, if they pause it more than necessary.
