Bad movies are a very special breed.
There are some bad movies that people tend to hold in about as high regard as they do any good movie.

Some bad movies, however, do not fall into that "so bad they're almost good" category.
Indeed, these are the bad movies that people found so unbearably awful, that they couldn't even find it in them to stay with them till the end.

Bad movies are a very special breed.

There are some bad movies that people tend to hold in about as high regard as they do any good movie.

Movies whose mediocrity, or downright awfulness, are almost part of their charm, make going to midnight screenings, or enjoying with friends over a couple of drinks, something to look forward to.

No one would expect Spice World to end up on the national film registry or lists of best films ever made, but it gets viewed repeatedly.

Some bad movies, however, do not fall into that "so bad they're almost good" category.

Indeed, these are the bad movies that people found so unbearably awful, that they couldn't even find it in them to stay with them till the end.

Redditor MichaelDj54 was curious to hear which movies people found so unbearable that sitting through them till the end was never going to happen, leading them to ask:"What movie was so bad, you didn't even finish it?"

Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said "maybe it's time to pick a f**king side" in response to President Donald Trump's call for a group of congressional Democrats who are military veterans to be executed after they reminded U.S. troops that they must disobey unlawful orders.
Senators Elissa Slotkin (Michigan) and Mark Kelly (Arizona) joined Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania), Maggie Goodlander (New Hampshire), and Jason Crow (Colorado), all of whom are veterans. In a video message, they noted that the Trump administration is "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."

Relationships can dissolve for all kinds of reasons, but a key reason that's become more popular with the prevalence of TikTok and Reddit is not staying with someone who doesn't listen to their partner or prioritize their needs.
Knowing a person's favorite song or how they take their coffee might seem like a mundane thing, but it's an intimate detail that shows that you care about your partner's likes and interests.

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know until someone shows it to you in a TikTok video. 
For instance, a person might not know about the possibility of having an astigmatism, which is an ocular condition that causes blurriness in vision, and the blurriness worsens with bright, contrasting lights. Blurring taillights at night, especially when it's raining, is a common occurrence among those with astigmatism.
