I hate when I'm reading/watching something that's been really good so far, but then a character makes a comment that is so genuinely embarrassing that I can't bring myself to continue reading/watching it. Like, I really want to finish it, but I can't bring myself to read the aftermath of a comment so embarrassing.
This really shouldn't affect me so much, but there has been many books and shows I couldn't bear to finish because of one scene. For instance, the book I've been trying to read for a year but close after trying to read a certain scene every single time. Yet, I am determined to finish it because it was a gift, that someone spent money on.
However, while my main case has been with reading (because I do it more often), it's most prominent with shows. Every single time I try to watch a show with a scene I find particularly embarrassing (most shows I have watched), I have to pause it so I can get up and walk out of the room. When this happens when I'm alone I usually can't finish the show, but if someone else is watching it's easier. Mainly because they don't pause it and I can just come back after the scene ends.
Also, the book is book 4 of the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan, I think? I may have gotten either the name or author incorrect.
