Is this anyone else's pet peeve in subbed anime?

>someone's talking
>next line ends with a '-'
>finish reading before they finish talking
>know they're about to be interrupted or something surprising is going to happen before it does
>surprise ruined

I know it's actually the grammatically correct way to do it, but I feel like it would preserve some level of surprise. What do you think? Pic related she's about to get cut off.

Yes, and this is why I only watch English dubbed animes
>>
Hmm, I wasn't aware I was annoyed by this, but turns out I am. Thanks for ruining dashes for me, anon.
>>
I dont mind since its been like this for so long now.

It's shitty but I can't really think of a good way around it that doesn't involve either splitting up the text or weird tl gimmicks like adding the dash or cut off word only once they are surprised or something stupid like that.

Sorry. It pains me even more to know that, in the Yuru Yuri example, the HorribleSubs s1 left them out, while the FFF (which I find to be superior) ones include them (pic related).

It must be autism. I wonder how people manage just not care about this.

I'm a pretty fast reader myself, though I know I'm not the fastest by far. That said, I've seen people here say they can barely keep up or can't keep up with subs, so maybe in their slowness they finish by the time the actual words are finished being spoken, so the surprise is still there.

>>150101863
That's just ESL fags that for some reason opted out of their actual language to watch anime with English subs. Normal person can't be that slow.
>>
>>150101999
You'd be surprised friend. Some of the slowest readers are native English speakers. I see college students still read by putting their finger on words as they go.
>>
>>150102051
That's just a gimmick they have. They're probably girls too so there's that.

Dumb people don't exist.
>>
>>150102170
>they're probably girls
Correct. All were girls. AFAIK it's not a gimick. When I was in elementary school everyone did.

Staying on topic, what other pet peeves do you guys have?
>>
>>150100483
I don't care at all.
>>
>>150100483
I hate them
