Watching TV used to mean tuning in on Watch Batman Death in the Family Onlinea certain time and day, then sharing a conversation around the water cooler the next morning. The water cooler model may have fazed out, but sharing TV is as important and ever -- and now we're doing it in public.
A new study from Netflix conducted by SurveyMonkey revealed that 67 percent of users watch in public, risking it all -- embarrassment, spoilers, awkward conversations with strangers -- just to stay up-to-date on their shows.

Yup, 37 percent of users surveyed admitted to bingeing at work. 27 percent said they binged while waiting in line, and 12 percent aren't afraid to watch in public restrooms (to be fair, stalls offer privacy).

30 percent of American Netflix users surveyed said they watch Netflix while traveling, especially on planes with limited in-flight entertainment. 44 percent of those said they've caught a "backseat binger" peeking at their screens -- but whether or not they're embarrassed depends entirely on what's on screen.

That's rough, but you know what else is stressful? 35 percent of public bingers have been interrupted while watching because someone wanted to talk about the contents of their public binging. Let us binge in peace!
One of the perils of public binging is publicly reacting to your content, which most users have done by laughing out loud in public. One in five users surveyed said they've cried while watching Netflix in public, but even the tears won't deter devoted fans.
