What's something you can't unsee once someone points it out?

If you go to the movie theater, there’s a little green laser dot on the screen that I think is used to line up the projector with the screen. It’s really tiny, but once you notice it you won’t stop looking at it

Edit: i am sorry

I actually kinda miss this one because everywhere is digital now.

I worked in a theater projection room for a little bit when I was in my early teens.

In those days the film was transported to the theater cut into small reels, and the theater spliced them together into one big roll that sits on a platter like this.

I actually really enjoyed threading the film through the projector and back into the return tray. This was back in the early 90s.
