Didn’t that magazine used to be loaded with nudity, but nowadays is barely worth stealing?
Ummmmmmm…
Starting a pit is having a better attitude?
OK, that’s crazy. They bought seats with the intention of asking people who reserved specific seats to move?!
Never seen Keeping the Faith, huh?
If you look at his threads there were some people who said that it was an over reaction for him to go. I suppose that’s a bit like begging him to stay.
In his case, yes. He’s actually pitting a poster, rather than a historical figure and then getting all butthurt when people think he’s overreacting.
His attitude problem is having too thin a skin, not being a jerk.
Y’mean like this? (from the ‘they cut off birds’ wings!’ thread, after AU left):
I think the OP is completely right. To me it’s not even a matter of giving up her seat to be polite, or that not giving it up was impolite… but that the couple, who came into the movie late felt ENTITLED to a seat that they wanted that happened to already be taken, after entering the movie several minutes after it had started and thinking they can start making demands and act like childish brats when they don’t get their way.
Tough shit. If you want to have your choice of prime seating, get there earlier. The fact that they were texting during the movie and not paying attention makes me view them even less favorably.
This was posted a while ago by me:
As for everything else, I encourage those in the pit to read the original thread, and come to your own conclusions. It is currently on the front page of the IMHO sub forum.
Here is a direct link to the thread in question:
I’m with the people who don’t see any heroes here. Yes, the people who came into the move late looking for prime real estate were clearly dicks for asking, and even more so for getting ugly afterward, but getting into arguments with them is also stupid as well as annoying and disruptive to others. If I were there, I’d think both of you were jerks.
As **msmith537 **says, why didn’t you put your coat on the buffer seat or just claim it was taken? What’s the point of making a show of refusing to move?
Then why the hell get into an argument with the people? The movie is going, just shake your head at them and go back to the movie. The tone of it (maybe not the intent, but the tone) sounds like you are trying to teach them a lesson.
You know what? I’ve decided there’s something mentally wrong with people who dish out this kind of nonsense. If I said, for example, “I saw Lincoln tonight, and it was okay, but not all that,” someone would say “Well that’s YOUR opinion!” Well of course it is. Who else would I be speaking for? Or I could say to someone, “Divorce happens all the time.” Someone would go, “No they don’t! It’s never happened to me! My parents are still married too! Your experiences aren’t universal!” Whatever, dickbreath, divorces do happen all the time, and I’m not going to preface everything I say with “The following does not apply to everyone.” Seriously, next time someone pulls that you =/= everyone crap, just remember that there’s something very seriously wrong with them mentally, and feel bad for them.
Oh, and stpauler, put your shoes on.
I don’t even see any ambiguity. When you walk into a movie theater, especially late, you don’t get choice seating… your “choice” is between whatever seats are left over, and if you want to sit next to someone you came with, find two seats together. That’s all the “choice” you get if you show up late.
If the seats in the OP’s row were the only ones left when the couple arrived, her denial of their request would have been rude.
A similar discussion took place here, but the person moved:

Op was completely in the right to refuse the request to move her seat. Where is it cinema policy that you have to move if someone asks you to?
Wait. The sick person is complaining about there being sick people in the cinema? That’s rather ironic. Or stupid. Your choice.
More like a facile excuse from some dumb broad who won’t share her elbow room. Totally selfish and inconsiderate, in my not-so-humble opinion.
Superb 
You are here asking for some sort of moral or ethical reinforcement about your decision - of which didn’t seem inappropriate to begin with (logically speaking) and did not result in any catastrophic events?
This sounds more suitable for Facebook where all your friends and cronies can boost you up for ‘doing the right thing,’ ‘you go girl!’
I don’t get it. Why would you ask someone to move in a theatre? If I arrive late to a movie, I get in, I look for a seat for me and my partner and I take the seats. If there are better single seats available, I don’t go and ask people to move just so I can have the better seats, I take the best seats that are already together. I honestly don’t get what this poster has done that is wrong.
Yeah fuck that shit. She didn’t owe anybody anything, and if there were plenty of seats free in the rows in front of her then she doesn’t have to move if she doesn’t want too.
Making other patrons have to move when there are plenty of seats free is complete arseholeness.
