Tonight we went to see ‘we were soldiers’ at the ridge movie theater in New Berlin, Wisconsin. 9:40p.m. show. 8 bucks a pop to get in equals 32 for us (my oldest is home from college this week and came with) throw in snacks that’s a total over $60. Hey, I can afford it, but 60 is still 60, and a night out with the tribe is supposed to be enjoyable. But 2 minutes into the show this old fat fuck sitting several rows back started the loudest, most obnoxiuos, emphasema/lung cancer caughing, hacking, and weezing I have ever heard. It was obvious that this guy had some kind of disease and not just a cold. And he kept doing this ‘trying to caugh up a loogie’ noise every 40 seconds. This wasn’t just regular caughing, he didn’t just caugh for a while and then stop for a while, he caughed , hacked, gagged, and snorted **continously** during the entire movie. like I said, this wasn’t regular coughing, it sounded like he was having an attack of lung disease. After 20 minutes into this rude fucking shit, my wife went and got an usher. she was met by over 10 other patrons looking for an usher. The ushers approached this turd and told him if he couldn’t quiet down he would have to leave. so he politely appoligized for the interuptions and left, right? **wrong!** The fucker gasps “I can’t stop. leave me alone.” then, after 10 more minutes of this horse shit, you the manager came in and told the guy she would give him free passes to another showing of the movie if he left. he refused and continued hacking away for the rest of the movie. at this point I’m pissed at the manager for not using her authority and outright throwing this cocksucker out! Between this fucks coughing attacks, the other patrons yelling at him, and the manager/ushers coming in every 15 minutes to talk to him, I can’t really tell you if the movie was as great as everyone says it is. Eventually my 2 boys got into a laughing fit over Mr. Lung cancer, and damn near laughed till they cried every time he he started making his ‘snnnnnnoooooooort’ sound like he was trying to hack up kermit de Frog! Call the local cops if he won’t leave. I swear to God, it was so loud, so outright rude that I though maybe it was Tom Green doing some stunt. unfortunately, it wasn’t. After the movie over 40 people, including us, went to the manager and demanded money back. That manager should have tossed him out! The manager not only refunded money, but also gave out free passes for any movie in the next 6 months. She could have saved herself the expense had she tossed the fucker out like is her right to do! Anyway, while my wife got our money back, I followed the fuck and his ugly, ugly, ugly hag of a wife out. While they were walking to their car, they both sparked up cigarettes and sucked on them like it was their lifes breath. I got the fuckers license plate number. By monday I’ll know who this rude piece of shit is. what should I do? Call him up from a pay phone every other night at 3a.m. and just cough and hack into the phone? 😛 Fucking piece of rude shit! ---

I’m with on this one, **PK**. I don’t think the manager could have thrown him out. Can you imagine the headline? > [@](#): > > Local Theatre tha target of discrimination suit after allegedly ousting sick man But this guy should have never went to the show. He knew he was gonna hack and hack. He HAD to know that this hacking would disturb _everbody_ else. If I get a tickle in my throat, I go out to the lobby to cough so as not to disturb the other moviegoers. This guy was a prick. ---

That’s scary, especially when someone with cinema issues thinks that’s grounds for harassment. I feel for you. It sounds like you did the right thing by involving the ushers and the manager. You might have been better off demanding a refund before the movie was completely over and you sat miserable through the whole movie. Hope your next trip to the movies ends better. ---

…but what was probably happening was that his airways were reacting to the lack of nicotine (nicotine “paralyzes” the cilia), and were trying to do their job and move that shit outta there, resulting in what ruined your movie for you. If he couldn’t do without a butt for the length of a movie, then he must have a **hell** of a habit! No wonder they couldn’t wait to get to their cars to light up! **Jesus!** Are you by any chance a cop? Because I don’t think you could get his home phone/address with just his license plate any other way unless you hacked into the DMV of your state. Also, I found your obvious misspelling of the word **cough** as **caugh** interesting. **Kaff-Kaff** being a higher-pitched and therefore more irritating sound. Lastly, I agree with you and everyone else: The cost of a flick and refreshments these days is too high for it to be ruined by what y’all had to go through. Hopefully y’all can see it again in a more peaceful environment. Cheers Quasi ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hosayf \* > \*\* > > Isn’t that some form of harassment? \*\* I’m not really going to call this guy. Would I post on the internet if I was going to harass someone? Somebody on here might know who I really am. But I am going to find out who he is and run a background check on him. Just in case I ever run into the jerk again I’ll know who I’m dealing with. Though calling him up once or twice and hacking into the phone is really no more harassment then when I called up my neighbor at 2 a.m. and barked into the phone because of his dog. Let me reiterate, this guy wasn’t just coughing, it sounded like he was going to friggin puke every 40 seconds! [www.publicdata.com](http://www.publicdata.com) ---

As an aside, it _is_ perfectly legal in some states for civilians to submit a license plate number to the state and get the person’s name and address. In Texas, at least, I believe that you have to submit identification to get this information, meaning that if someone (for example) is out to get revenge on another driver over a road rage incident, the cops will have an idea who to look for. At least in theory. ---

However, I find your attitude disturbing as well. What possible difference did it make that his wife was ugly? Did this offend you as well? Would his behavior have been more acceptable had his wife been a supermodel? As a long-term SDMB member, I would think you’d know better than to make ignorant statements like that. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lucretia \* > \*\*As a long-term SDMB member, I would think you’d know better than to make ignorant statements like that. \*\* Geez. Guess I know who his wife is now!😛 Listen, **Lucretia** , Had it been I sitting there barfing up a lung, my wife would have insisted we leave and come back another time. Especially after the ushers warned us and the manager asked us to leave. My wife has enough class that she would have insisted we leave and not bother the other patrons for 2 and a half hours. Had I refused, my wife would have left out of pure embarassment. That old wrinkled bag stood by her man, so to speak, while he ruined the movie for every other person in the place. She’s guilty by association. And she was extremely ugly! I calls 'em as I see’s 'em! ---
