Movie Theater Etiquette



Have you ever been sitting in a movie theater while a movie you were really excited to see was just about to start, yet all you wanted to do is punch all of the other moviegoers in the face? Me too. Here are a couple of the most annoying behaviors that the dumbest of our society display while at the local film shop:

Talking: Let’s start with the obvious one, first. When you’re in a movie theater, do everyone else a favor and just shut the hell up. If you really need to speak with someone, walk your lazy ass into the concession area, where it’s louder than hell anyway, and do your speaking there. And, if you are one of those morons who always has to question what is happening in the movie, then you are too dumb to be seeing the film in the first place. Leave.

Yelling at the screen: Seriously? I don’t care if the movie is too scary for you, or if the hot young actor took off his shirt, stop yelling at the damn screen. Teenage girls are probably the most to blame for this annoyance. Look, not only can Taylor Lautner NOT hear you, but he wouldn’t date your broke ass anyway. And, if you’re scared, sack up! You are in a theater full of people. You should be more scared in the parking lot. Moron.

Clappers: We know the movie is over. We realize that it was pretty good. But, no one in your local theater needs your encouragement or approval. Stop clapping at the end of the film.

Late Arrivers: I saved this one for last because it might be the most annoying. My mom recently reminded me of these douchers, so I thought I would point them out. These are the self-absorbed jerks who arrive in the theater once the movie has already begun, and they interrupt everyone else’s movie going experience. Usually, these inconsiderate pricks will not only get in the way of your view while they are walking in, but they are almost always talking while trying to find an open seat.
What really chaps my ass about these bags has to be when they ask someone to scoot down so that they can fit in, or sit on the end. I mean, we were here first, asshole. Did all of these people’s newspapers print the wrong movie time? Is that why they come in so late? I highly doubt it. These selfish jerks just assumed that they could get to the theater at the last minute and grab a good seat. Well too bad, jack-bag. Sit in the front row; everyone hates you anyway. Idiot.
