Rude things people do @ the movies

It seems like EVERY time I go to the movies, theres incredibly rude people


-Talking on your cell phone: They even tell you over and over before the movie to turn off your cell, yet, of course, they don't listen and DO it anyway...pisses me the hell off. I was @ this movie once and this guy's cell phone rang and he did'nt even take the call outside. He just started talking to his "girl" and when everyone shouted "SHUT UP" he said "F**K Ya'll, I can do whatever I want".

Babies- Oh my god...Why do people insist on bringing babies to movies? ESPECIALLY, movies rated R. You can afford for a movie but you can't afford a baby sitter? Why would you bring a baby/toddler to a PG-13/R movie? It makes no sense; they are OVIOUSLY not going to sit for 2 hours quiet and watch the movie.

Making out right in front of me? If your going to a movie...please watch it and not just make it an excuse for a makeout session. Come on, I don't need to see that while I'm watching a movie

Teenagers w/ friends: It's only some of them who really bug me. When some teenagers come with their friends to movies and they tend to fool around way too much, not paying attention to the movie and just talking and giggling.


Anyone have any other rude things people do at the movies?

Please share

For these very reasons I hate the theater.  To top it off you have to pay 10 bucks a pop to listen to someones kids/convo/bodily functions etc

 

YAY for netflix!

 Ha!  Their one and only post and that's the best they can come up with??

I hate it when the theater is almost empty, yet people want to sit RIGHT NEXT TO YOU or right behind you.  

The other thing is when people eat really loudly, especially when they chow down on like a full meal, like nachos or hot dogs or anything that requires a PLATE.  Go to a restaurant, do we have to eat while we do EVERYTHING??

it's also SO ANNOYING when people yell out the answers to the stupid questions they play before the movie, like "In what 1980s movie did Dustin Hoffman play a woman?"  Some douche: "TOOTSIE!!! IT WAS TOOTSIE!!!"  Ugh, shut up!

The only thing that makes me want to go to the movies anymore is this really cheesy reminder from the theater they play here where these monk-sounding guys sing this hymn about the theater rules. "Thou shalt not smooookkkeethhh, deposit thine litter.... silence is gooooolllden....thank you! ENJOYETH THE SHOW!!"  Hahahah!!!

When people have to constantly TALK throughout. But, not just talk..they loudly 'whisper' to their friend/spouse...and keep asking them questions about the movie..like they are retarded or something and can't watch it themselves! If they are behind me, I do that quick head turn...where it's not a complete turn to the back but a quick head jerk to the side and the evil eye glance. It only sometimes works.

Then there is the coughing person that really should be hospitalized not in the freaking movies!

 

URGH! I HATE THESE SORT OF PEOPLE
Some people are just so **** or idiotic, I don't get it
Thankfully, here in the Uk, I have never seen anyone bring a baby

But erm, yeah, in the past there's been those ridiculous teenage girls who think they're really sassy and just sit there giggling and gossiping, then you get your really lame teenage boys who think they're really funny and absurdly comment on every scene to their freinds but the worst, woah...

A few weeks ago we went to watch Coraline, and we sat on the back row. This was a film I'd wanted to see for quite a while. During the film, for about half an hour, some stupid bitch was on the phone, quietly, but really obviously. I heard her say something like "oh it's fine i can speak for ages" and seriously, I'm quite a docile person but I just lost it and yelled at her "GET OFF THE PHONE". She just stopped and walked out.

 

People are such stupid stupid whores and I hope they get hit by little busses

I also hate the cell phones... and I am very tickled by the saying "un-Zuesley" - fantastic i love it and will be saying it for weeks now!!

 

But I agree.. babies and cell phones... mostly cell phones because they have an off button so I have no sympathy!!

The people here are pretty respectful.  I have not seen anyone really rude in the theatres in a long time.

Fireworks now - that is different.  On Friday there was a woman sitting behind us that would shout "LOVE THAT" "Oh my God - LOVE IT!" after every display.  Over and over again.  "LOVE LOVE LOVE IT".  She was obnoxious.  I wanted to tell her to shut up.  But I didn't.  After an hour it became funny.  But for a while there I just wanted to strangle her!

 At the theatre I go to there is a very calm but authoratitive sounding woman intoning the rules.  At the end she says "remember we are always close by."

It is very Orwellian and creepy.    I think I would rather have the monks!

All of these are reason I don't go to the movies anymore and have Netflix.  One that I didn't see mentioned was when people clap at the end of a movie. This has to be one of the stupidest acts of all time.

My number one pet peeve at any public place, whether it be a movie theatre, a restaurant, or even a concert hall, is cell phones. I hate the bloody things and have, on several occasions, had to use every bit of reserve that I had in me to hold myself back from shoving the d*mned things directly up the owner's a**es.

I just don't get it. You're paying money to see a movie, eat at a restaurant, see a concert ... why in the hell can't you just turn the phone off for the amount of time that you are watching the movie, eating your food, or enjoying the concert? Why?! Why is that so difficult?! Unless you're a doctor who's on call, there's no reason to keep your phone on during these times[*].

Right. Back to the movies ... aside from cell phones, I get rabidly annoyed by people who just won't shut the **** up. You might be okay with spending an un-Zeusly amount of money for tickets for a movie whilst spending the whole time f**king about not watching the movie, but I personally don't enjoy it. If you're going to plant your a** anywhere near me, within hearing range, then you need to just STFU and watch the movie that we paid for.

[*] DISCLAIMER: This mini rant is referring to the jack-holes that sit in the movie theatre, at the restaurant, or next to you at a concert hall and spend the entire time either playing games on their cell phones or texting back and forth with some other jack-hole. This mini rant is not intended to refer to parents who need to keep their cell phones on in the event that they need to be reached in an emergency situation.      

 Your passion I thoroughly admire!
