Crunch time for subtitles
Of the 7.5 million Brits that regularly use the BBC's subtitles service only 1.5 million have hearing problems.
In a survey of users by the service, a more popular reason for putting them on among the other 6 million people is that you can keep up with the dialogue when eating noisy crisps or chips.

lol, sadly enough, I use them all the time and I have perfect hearing. It drives my roommates crazy.
Beth, I pity your poor room mates. It means your head is more active than the TV show you're watching and you need to use up some of your brain power slack on reading subtitles. Try either converting this mental energy in a more productive way (knitting, peeling potatoes, shelling peas, drawing hitler moustaches on pictures of your friends, for example). Or take some hard core drugs and chill out you weirdo ;-)
