Re: What's the worst thing you've been spoiled for?

I often seek out spoilers for things I care heavily about, so I can't actually think of any really brutal spoiler experiences.

A guy I used to be friends with in HS took it upon himself to yell out "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!" at a party once. It had been a few months since the book came out, but I hadn't read it yet at that point, so I was spoiled.

I wasn't that mad at the time, but looking back I'm like, jesus, what a dipshit.

As for avoiding spoilers: the first time my friend and I watched Fight Club, neither one of us knew anything about it. We were expecting a movie about boxing. Going in totally cold was pretty awesome, honestly. I know it's one of those movies that's becomes increasingly fraught with sociopolitical baggage over the years, but I still love it tbh (and I'm a feminine ace woman, not a het dudebro, for the record).

Oh man, I had a friend spoil Sirius' death for me. He wasn't trying to, like he was actively trying to avoid giving spoilers during a discussion and then his face did something so fucking dramatic when Sirius' name came up. Like, I could not care LESS now, but at the *time* I was like dude, you're a theatre kid, learn how to school your FACE.

The other significant spoilers (unsought) for me were... both The Sixth Sense and The Others I had spoiled for me.

I was dodging a LOT of spoilers for Get Out but read *just enough* to like... pick out all the relevant things that led to most of the big twists? So no one person spoiled me! I'm just well-versed enough in how stories work I guess, and particularly in horror (and social horror tends to be my big fave), that I was putting together all the pieces just a few steps faster than the people I was watching with. But that was fun because then I got to turn and watch *them* when reveals hit.

I spoiled Dumbledore’s death for someone but in my defense it was their fault. They were a huge fan and we were talking about HP and I asked if they were all caught up and they said yes. So I start talking about that stuff and they blew their top. The book had been out a long time, something like a year or close to it and I was really confused at their reaction. It turned out they were movie only fan and didn’t think anyone but little kids read the books. They thought every adult HP fan they’d ever met was a movie only fan. This was a coworker and our office was full of HP fans. I felt bad and still kinda do because the look on their face…I don’t like making people feel bad. But they were awful to me about it and for the rest of the time we worked together they brought it up a lot, always in a way to make me look like some evil person who ruined something precious just because I get enjoyment from it. It caused some workplace friction, they were in conflict with a lot of people and under investigation at the time this all happened. I was glad when they finally got fired.

In movie terms for this coworker: what. an. idiot.

The person who was spoiled sounded like a grade A jackass. I got the confusion of not knowing that you thought they meant they were caught up with the books, not the films. But the faultline there is...silly little misunderstanding.
For them to keep bringing it up as a means to pull your leg/legit make you feel bad, fucking jackass.
