"Someone behind me put their feet on my armrest. They weren't wearing shoes but had their socks on. I was on a first date with my new girlfriend. Since it was dark, I had no idea where the horrible stench was coming from. Being slightly paranoid, I thought my feet stunk until I realized it was the guy behind me. I embarrassed him in front of his friends when I told him to remove his feet because they stunk." -Anonymous
"I caught a matinee of Blink Twice in a mostly empty theater. About 20 minutes into the movie, a couple came in with their phone flashlights illuminated, crossing in front of the audience from the door to the right of the screen to the seats far to the left. The man kept his phone out, watched videos with the volume on, and texted with the keyboard sound effect activated, punctuating the movie with rapid 'click click clicks.' He argued with his girlfriend periodically. At the movie's climax, he got loud, threatening to kick his girlfriend's ass. At that point, I'd had enough, so I yelled, 'Shut up!' but I was lowkey worried/hopeful he'd take that as an excuse to fight me. He did not and finally shut up after some more (loud) muttering." - facebook_10153041952677266
"I go to the movies almost weekly; unfortunately, this is becoming too common. Recently, during Gladiator II, a couple of girls next to me were swooning loudly over Mescal (and he's in every scene, so it was the whole movie). Eventually, someone in front of them turned on their flashlight and shined it right at them. One of the girls had the gall to say, 'Excuse me, I'm trying to enjoy the movie,' and the guy with the flashlight got mad for interrupting their clearly rude behavior."
