The survey also revealed that 26% of its users said watch shows or movies while at work. While about 7% worldwide — said they have watched movies and shows in public restrooms, guess binge-watch can be done really anywhere and anytime. And 45% of people watching Netflix outside their homes have caught someone sneakily watching along with them.

Other findings from the survey include that, 20% of people admitted to crying while watching Netflix in public.

About 17% of users say they have missed their stop while commuting because they were too focused on a movie or TV show, well, it's your own fault for missing that bus.
