The movie was not ruined. I forgot about them about 30 seconds later…that’s until the started texting for 3 hours straight. They would have done that anyway, so that is a wash.
Now back to my republican fundraising…but first, is their anything else you want to tell me about myself? Just so I can know, since you seem to know me better than I do, all based on a few posts on an internet forum.
Now don’t lose your mind or anything, but I couldn’t agree more with this. Texting throughout a movie is the height of rudeness. It’s unbelievably distracting and I’d have had no problem telling them to shut their damn phone off.
The spastic over-reactions here are also at odds with her characterization, too. Does she strike anyone like a “water off a duck’s back” kind of person?
Why would I care what you think of how I post in the forum where insults are specifically allowed? At least I know where the appropriate places are for me to express my annoyance at rude people … like not in a crowded movie theater when other people would actually be disturbed by it. You, on the other hand … not so much.
But then, I’m sure neither do I, if all anyone went by were my posts in the 'Pit. On the other hand, I’ve never posted a 'Pit rant about how unbelievably rude someone was to ask me if a seat next to me was taken in a movie theater, either, so there’s that.
I was an usher during high school and a summer or two in college and this matches my experience 100%.
I was–we were a stand-alone theater (not a multi-plex) which got a lot of world premiers and first run movies. We’d regularly have people (some of whom were older, but not all) who didn’t want to sit in the neck-breaker seats up front ask us to help them find seats in the middle and there was never a problem asking someone to scoot over one.
