Sitting on Your Netflix

The most common video people sat on in this Slate poll? Hotel Rwanda.

Slate's advice? Return the disc unwatched, rather than sitting on it for month while cobwebs grow on the DVD slip.

Mailing back a DVD unwatched doesn't mean you'll never get another shot at it. And Netflix is the one paying the postage. Why not give yourself a week to see Hotel Rwanda. If you don't get to it, maybe it's because you're a bad person who turns a blind eye to unspeakable tragedy.

But maybe it's just because you're not quite in the mood for it right now. Perhaps in a few months the disc will again reach the top of your queue and you'll tear it out of the envelope and throw it into the Toshiba the day it arrives in the mail.

Good analysis. I generally find that if I don't do something soon after I intend to do it, the momentum against me builds up and it becomes more and more difficult. And that's true even for movie-watching.
