That's easily the most common and the worst. I hear you loud and clear.

the feeling that you wanted to stop but can't because you already started it :(

-You can sense that the characters will never do anything, nor will interesting things ever happen to them.
-You aren't willing to sacrifice time for video games, studies, or books to watch another episode.
-An episode feels like an eternity.

I'd say those are the big ones. I'll add in when you start thinking along the lines of, "If I watch another episode, I'll be one more closer to finishing it".

I'm probably not enjoying an anime if I:
- Pause the video frequently to go do something in another tab
- Start thinking about something completely unrelated to the anime
- keep checking how much time is left on the video

I start complaining about things that happen in the show while I watch it.

I do not pay attention to what it going on.

I'm genuinely bored.

I think about different things while watching the show, such as other anime that I could watch, or playing games or whatever.

I don't feel like watching an episode even though I already downloaded it.

When I cannot tell whether I like the show or not and even after I finished it I have a total neutral attitude towards the show.

It's pretty obvious to notice when you are not enjoying something I guess.

1) When you fall asleep watching it
2) You're skipping parts because everything is boring
3) Your hit list is exceeding the limit (characters you absolutely hate)

Pretty much just described everything that happened to me while watching Utapri.
Oh, also forgot the part where you slam your face into the desk every two minutes because you freaking cannot stand it any more.

-an important character dies and I couldn't care less (if my reaction is the same when something big happens)
-the characters don't attract me and I don't even remember anyone's name, don't even know who is who etc. (I usually don't even try, but when I pay attention to a certain chara, his/her name just remains in my head xD)
-forget what I've just watched xD
-think about anything, but the episode while watching
-don't feel like watching the next one at all and always pay attention how many are left until the end
-feel like dropping it or putting in on 'on-hold' list
-couldn't care less if I missed/unintentionally skipped something, but realise it later xD

Things like these xD

Well, you pretty much hit the nail on the head for that one.

I'd also add that I'd tend feel drowsy during un-enjoyable anime as well

As for the episode taking an eternity, that's happened with anime I like as well. Mostly because the suspense tends to make time feel like it's passing by slowly.

If I have frequent urges--like, every five to ten minutes-- to pause the episode and do other things like checking Facebook notifications, e-mails etc., then I know that I'm not enjoying the anime. Recently this happened to me in the case of Witch Hunter Robin.

Basically --> "When an episode feels like an eternity"
When I find myself thinking frequently about how many episodes are left and how long it will take for me to finish, in an "ugh, I'm not even halfway through..."-way.

It's mostly quite subtle, and I usually try to keep telling myself that it's not so bad. I don't like to drop, especially not when I've watched more than three episodes. But in the end I have to give in...

I watch stuff on Hulu, and end up on Tumblr when there's a commercial. If it takes me a while to come back after the commercial is done, it means I don't really care (or Tumblr is especially interesting for some reason, I suppose).

Then, yeah, things that other people have said like episodes feeling like they're really long or not caring about what happens. Sometimes that's just because of a boring arc or something though, and it'll pick back up later. Hopefully.

I hate it when I'm not enjoying a really short (11-13 episodes) series, because then I feel obligated to finish it even though I don't like it.

- When I'm in denial that it isn't a bad anime. Sometimes I literally sit there and go, "come on, Fai, you need to enjoy this...what's wrong with you..."
- When I constantly check how far into it I am.
- when I start playing on my phone.
- When I start daydreaming rather than paying attention to the anime.
