Local Man Spends 3 Hours Scrolling 'Best Shows on HBO Max' Lists, Still Watches The Office on Netflix, AITA?
TL;DR: My buddy Dave asked me for the best shows on HBO Max. I sent him a 47-tweet thread listing The Wire, Succession, and Station Eleven. He responded with a thumbs-up emoji. 72 hours later, I catch him re-watching The Office on Netflix for the 14th time. I called him a coward to his face, and now his wife says I’m being a gatekeeping asshole. So, I’m supposed to curate a streaming service’s entire library for a guy who thinks continuity errors are a personality trait? Yeah, sure. The real crime here is that HBO Max has the best shows on HBO Max and he’s out here mainlining recycled Scranton memes. Bro couldn’t handle a single episode of The Leftovers without asking for a plot summary. Am I the asshole for expecting him to have the attention span of a gnat that’s been microdosed on TikTok? He’s the reason we can’t have nice things.
