The last time it was a huge ordeal for me was over at a friend's house - we were watching a comedy and it was clearly 4:3, but it was being stretched to 16:9 on their widescreen TV. I was about to die the entire time and eventually I had to bring it up. Then everyone in the entire room waged Holy War against me saying it wasn't stretched.

I know people who's CRTs were damaged and had green or purple spots on the edges, and they didn't notice it EVER.
Many people can't tell the difference. I used to tune people's TVs with reference discs so that they could see the problems, but I eventually just stopped because it was too much work for me and they obviously didn't notice or care.
Seriously, 1/3 of the screen, originating from the corner, being green or purple, usually the sign of someone hitting it on that corner in some manner. They just didn't see it.
